Early screening for young COPD and pre-COPD
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study aims to find early signs of COPD in younger adults who smoke or have lung damage on scans. If you are between 20 and 70 and have a significant smoking history or early emphysema, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 70 years old.
- You have smoked for at least 10 pack-years (for example, 1 pack a day for 10 years) OR you have visible emphysema on a CT scan.
- You are able to perform a breathing test (pulmonary function test).
- You do not have other lung diseases like scarring, widened airways, infection, tumor, or lung surgery.
- You have not been previously diagnosed with COPD by a doctor.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study follows people with early COPD patterns (or no lung disease) to understand how COPD starts and progresses over time. You may have breathing tests and possibly CT scans, and some participants may join an added lung procedure (bronchoscopy).
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.
This study looks at people who develop COPD (a long-term lung breathing problem) at a younger age and have severe airflow limitation. It may help researchers better understand COPD in early-onset patients and find ways to improve care for this group.
This study aims to identify people at high risk for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a lung condition that makes breathing hard. If you have a long-term cough, mucus, or breathing trouble, this screening may help catch it early.
This study follows people who currently smoke and people who may have newly found COPD (chronic obstructive lung disease) based on breathing test results. It aims to better understand lung disease in real life and what it means for health over time.
This study looks at different forms of COPD to find better ways to treat them. It may help you understand your own condition and receive more personalized care.
