Predicting response to breathing support in COPD
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at whether nighttime breathing problems can predict long-term success with a non-invasive breathing machine in people with COPD who have high carbon dioxide levels in their blood. The goal is to help doctors decide who will benefit most from this therapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have COPD and high carbon dioxide levels in your blood (a condition called hypercapnia).
- Your high carbon dioxide levels may be ongoing or have started after a recent flare-up that needed breathing support.
- You agree to take part in the study and sign a consent form.

This trial compares different breathing strategies for people with COPD who still have high carbon dioxide levels in their blood a few weeks after a severe flare-up. The goal is to find the best way to help you breathe easier and improve your oxygen levels.
This trial tests whether using a non-invasive ventilator (a breathing machine with a mask) at home can help people with severe COPD who have high carbon dioxide levels in their blood. It aims to improve breathing and reduce the need for hospital visits.
This trial tests whether home telemonitoring combined with a breathing machine (non-invasive ventilation) can help people with advanced COPD and persistently high carbon dioxide levels. It aims to improve care and reduce hospital visits.
This study looks at how non-invasive ventilation (breathing support through a mask) is used for people with COPD who are in the intensive care unit because of a sudden flare-up. The goal is to understand current practices to improve care.
This study tests if special monitoring of your heart and lungs can help doctors predict how well you will recover. It is for people with COPD on a breathing machine for more than 48 hours due to a flare-up and who are ready to start weaning off the machine.
This study looks at whether regular video check-ins and remote monitoring from your care team can improve your breathing and quality of life compared to the usual routine check-ups, for people with COPD who need a breathing machine at home.
