Inflammation and oxidative stress study in stable COPD
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how inflammation and oxidative stress affect COPD. It tests whether a pulmonary rehabilitation program helps reduce these factors in people with stable COPD who are former smokers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 80 years old.
- You have a diagnosis of stable COPD with specific breathing test results (FEV1/FVC less than 70% and FEV1 less than 70% predicted).
- You are a former smoker with at least a 10 pack-year smoking history.
- Your COPD has been stable (no flare-ups or respiratory infections in the last 6 weeks).
- You are willing and able to join a pulmonary rehabilitation program.
- You are not taking any antioxidant or vitamin supplements in the last 4 weeks.

This study tests whether a structured care program for COPD can lower how often your symptoms flare up. It may help by improving everyday management and preventing future worsening.
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.
This trial studies cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) risk in people who have stable COPD or a recent worsening of COPD. It may help researchers understand which risks to monitor during and after a COPD flare and how to prevent complications.
