Studying COPD lung tissue with advanced cell analysis
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial looks at lung tissue from people with COPD to understand how the disease affects individual cells. It may help develop better treatments in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having lung resection surgery at the hospital for any reason.
- You are diagnosed with COPD according to the 2024 GOLD guidelines.
- Your tissue samples can be collected or already stored, and you agree to their use.
- You do not have asthma that has flared up in the past year.
- You do not have advanced lung cancer.
- You are not on systemic immunosuppressive medications like anti-rejection drugs.

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 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 different forms of COPD to find better ways to treat them. It may help you understand your own condition and receive more personalized care.
This trial aims to grow lung stem cells and create mini-lungs (organoids) from the tissue of people with COPD. It may help researchers understand the disease better and develop new treatments.
