Tracking lung health trends in COPD with breath tests
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 40 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with COPD by a doctor
- You already have routine checkups every 6 months
- You can understand and sign a consent form
- No recent lung infection or COPD flare-up in the last 4 weeks
- Your COPD is not mainly due to asthma

This study follows people with COPD over time to better understand their lung health and how it changes. It may help researchers and doctors learn what factors affect breathing and long-term outcomes.
This study follows people with stable COPD to learn how the disease progresses and affects different patients in different ways. Researchers will track your lung function and symptoms over time to better understand COPD and improve treatment.
This study looks at different lung immune cell patterns and how they work in smokers who are not yet diagnosed with COPD or asthma. It may help researchers understand why some people are more likely to develop COPD, which could guide future prevention or early treatments.
This study compares simple breathing tests (oscillometry and FeNO) used by your primary care doctor against a specialist's diagnosis to see if they can accurately tell if you have asthma or COPD. If you have symptoms like wheezing, cough, or shortness of breath but haven't been diagnosed yet, this trial may help improve how these conditions are found.
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 uses a simple blood test to help doctors decide if people having a COPD flare-up need antibiotics or steroids. It may help you get the right treatment faster and avoid unnecessary medications.
