Testing a new way to find COPD early from lung health checks
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses breathing tests and other data from a lung health check program to see if a new algorithm can detect COPD or early signs of COPD. It could help identify lung problems sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 55 and 75 years old.
- You have ever smoked.
- You are registered with a GP in Hull, England.
- You have at least one symptom like breathlessness, cough, bronchitis, or lung infections, OR a CT scan shows early signs of lung damage (emphysema).
- You do not already have a COPD diagnosis for which you are taking medication.

This study looks at how lung cancer screening can also help find and manage COPD, a lung condition that often goes undetected. If you are a current or former smoker and meet certain age and smoking history criteria, you may join to help improve screening and care for both lung cancer and COPD.
This study compares simple breathing tests (oscillometry and FeNO) used by your primary care doctor against a specialist's diagnosis to see if they can accurately tell if you have asthma or COPD. If you have symptoms like wheezing, cough, or shortness of breath but haven't been diagnosed yet, this trial may help improve how these conditions are found.
This trial offers a lung cancer screening program using a low-dose CT scan for people who have COPD or emphysema and a history of heavy smoking. The goal is to catch lung cancer early, when it's more treatable.
This study looks for new measurable signs (“markers”) that can help detect emphysema earlier and more accurately. You may be asked to have breathing measurements and complete tasks if you have COPD and have had a recent chest CT scan.
This study aims to find people with undiagnosed asthma or COPD by using a simple questionnaire and a breathing test. If you have symptoms like cough or wheeze but no prior diagnosis, you may be able to join and get early treatment.
This study looks at lung function in people with early COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) to understand what happens over time. If you meet the lung test and health requirements, you may be able to help researchers learn how to better track and manage early COPD.
