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 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 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.
This trial tests a smart oxygen system that automatically adjusts oxygen levels for people with COPD who are in the hospital using a nasal high-flow device. It may help keep your oxygen levels stable without needing constant adjustments.
This study tests a home-based program that provides education and activity guidance for people with COPD who have been hospitalized in the past year. It aims to help you understand your condition better and stay active safely.
This trial tests if adding high-flow oxygen therapy to your usual long-term oxygen therapy can help you breathe better. It is for people with COPD or ILD who use oxygen at home for at least 15 hours a day.
