Weight loss study for people with obesity and COPD
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests if a weight reduction program can improve health outcomes for people who have both obesity and COPD. You may join if you have COPD and a BMI of 30 or higher.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with COPD based on standard lung function tests.
- Your FEV1 (a measure of lung function) is less than 80% of what is expected for your age and height.
- Your FEV1/FVC ratio (another lung test) is less than 70%.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 30 or higher.
- You have not had unintentional weight loss in the past three months.

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 looks at how common it is to have both COPD (a chronic lung disease) and sarcopenic obesity (loss of muscle with excess body fat). By joining, you'll help doctors understand this condition better and may get a full health check-up.
This trial studies whether doing a combination of endurance exercises can help people with COPD walk better and do everyday activities with less limitation. It compares an exercise approach aimed at improving walking function and daily movement.
This study examines how obesity affects your breathing capacity and muscle strength, especially when your lungs show a restrictive pattern (difficulty expanding fully). Researchers will assess your body composition, physical function, and respiratory muscle endurance to better understand these connections.
This trial tests whether increasing omega-3 (from diet and/or supplements) helps people with COPD. It enrolls people with low omega-3 intake and asks them to follow a specific dietary plan during the study.
This trial tests a pulmonary rehabilitation (lung exercise) program for people with COPD. It aims to see how daily activities and lung function can improve with a structured at-home exercise plan.
