Using lung cancer screening to find and treat COPD
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 50 to 80 years old
- You currently smoke or used to smoke, with a history of at least 20 pack-years (for example, smoking 1 pack a day for 20 years)
- You have had a lung cancer screening CT scan at the University of Michigan within the last year
- You have been diagnosed with COPD, or have had lung function tests showing COPD, or have more than 1% emphysema on your CT scan
- You do not have severe asthma, another lung condition, or other health problems that might interfere with the study

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 trial tests whether people being checked for possible lung cancer can also get improved care for a breathing condition called COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). It focuses on patients whose lung function tests show airflow problems.
This study looks at how a hospital program can help people who are at risk for lung cancer get the proper screening and follow-up care. You may be eligible if you are a Temple patient and have had a low-dose CT scan for lung cancer screening.
This study looks at COPD in people who are already getting lung cancer screening. If you have COPD or a high risk for it, joining this observational trial may help researchers learn more about your condition.
This study aims to help people who qualify for lung cancer screening actually get screened. It tests a program to remind and support you to schedule a low-dose CT scan.
This study offers free lung cancer screening (a CT scan) to people aged 50 and older who are at higher risk due to smoking, wood smoke exposure, or COPD. It aims to catch cancer early, when it's easier to treat.
