COPD and cold virus study
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how the common cold virus affects people with COPD to find new treatments. If you have moderate COPD and your symptoms flare up when you catch a cold, you may be able to help.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 40 to 75 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with COPD (moderate severity).
- You have a significant smoking history (at least 20 pack-years).
- Your COPD symptoms get worse when you catch a cold.
- You have not had a lung infection or taken steroids or antibiotics in the past 8 weeks.

This study tests whether giving a common cold virus (rhinovirus) to people with bronchiectasis and healthy volunteers can trigger a lung flare-up. It aims to understand how the immune system responds and what causes exacerbations, which could lead to better treatments.
This study looks at how viral infections impact people with chronic lung conditions like COPD or bronchiectasis. It aims to understand symptoms and triggers better, which could help improve future treatments.
This trial tests an oral medication (VPV) to see if it can safely treat rhinovirus (a common cold virus) in people with COPD. The goal is to help you recover faster and prevent serious COPD flare-ups.
This study looks at whether RSV (a common respiratory virus) is linked to COPD flare-ups that need urgent care. By testing patients during a flare-up, researchers hope to understand how RSV affects COPD and find better ways to manage it.
This trial tests whether vitamin C supplements can improve health in people with COPD. It aims to see if the antioxidant effects of vitamin C help manage the disease and slow its progression.
This trial tests if an investigational nasal spray (ETH47) can reduce asthma symptoms triggered by a common cold virus (rhinovirus). You will be exposed to the virus in a safe setting to see if the spray helps control your asthma.
