Oxygen therapy study for COPD patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a long-term oxygen therapy program for people with COPD who already use continuous oxygen at home. The goal is to see if regular at-home oxygen use improves breathing and quality of life over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with COPD
- Your doctor has prescribed oxygen for use at home through nasal prongs or a mask
- You use oxygen all the time (not just sometimes)
- You have not been hospitalized or had a sudden worsening of COPD in the last 6 weeks
- You do not have a lung infection or cold in the last 6 weeks
- Your lung function tests show a certain level of airflow blockage (FEV1/FVC less than 0.80 and FEV1 not below 25%)

This study follows people with COPD (chronic lung disease) over many years to better understand the condition. It may help doctors learn what factors predict worsening over time.
This trial tests a device that tracks how often you use your home oxygen therapy. It is for people with COPD who use oxygen continuously at home and have been medically stable for at least 6 weeks.
This study tests whether breathing extra oxygen during outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation helps people with COPD. Participants will have their oxygen levels checked during exercise to see if extra oxygen improves their rehab results.
This study looks at how brief drops in oxygen levels during sleep affect lung function, health, and survival in people with moderate COPD. Participants will do exercise tests and have their oxygen levels monitored to better understand the disease.
This study looks at a new strategy to help people recover from COPD flare-ups (also called exacerbations) after they arrive at the hospital. It may help by improving oxygen support and overall management during a short, early hospital stay.
This study tests whether using a special oxygen device at home helps prevent another acute COPD flare after you’ve been hospitalized. It’s mainly for people with severe breathing problems who may need oxygen support long-term.
