Testing a new way to spot COPD in lung checks
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at data from people who had a lung health check to see if a new breathing test can help find COPD or early signs of it. It might make it easier to diagnose COPD sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You took part in the Hull Lung Health Check Programme.
- You are between 55 and 75 years old.
- You are registered with a GP in Hull.

- You have at least one symptom like breathlessness, cough, bronchitis, or repeat chest infections, or you have emphysema seen on a CT scan.
- You do not already have a COPD diagnosis and are not on COPD treatment.

This study tests a new way to spot early signs of blocked airways in people with COPD during a routine breathing test. The goal is to catch problems sooner and help guide treatment.
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 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 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 checks how exhaled breath changes over 6-month visits in people with COPD, to see if it can help track lung health over time. It may help find new ways to monitor your condition without invasive tests.
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.
