Measuring lung and blood volume in COPD
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how COPD affects the amount of air your lungs can hold and the total blood in your body. The goal is to better understand the disease, which may help improve future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 45 and 80 years old.
- You have COPD (GOLD stage I to III) with oxygen levels above 90% at rest.
- You have not had heart problems like chest pain or heart failure.
- You have not had severe COVID-19 or symptoms within the last 2 weeks.
- You are not currently doing pulmonary rehabilitation and have not done it in the last 6 months.
- You do not have other chronic diseases like cancer, kidney or liver problems.

This study looks at how the body’s “innate” (first-line) immune system works in people with COPD compared with healthy volunteers. It may help researchers understand COPD inflammation and how immune responses could be targeted in the future.
This study measures how well the right side of your heart works when you are resting and when you exercise, in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It may help researchers better understand COPD-related heart strain and guide future care.
This study aims to better understand how COPD affects the blood vessels in your lungs by looking at measurements from a right heart catheterization. It may help doctors identify a specific pattern of lung and heart problems in people with COPD.
This study looks at how short drops in blood oxygen levels affect lung function, symptoms, and overall health in people with moderate COPD. It involves simple tests like walking and cycling to help understand your condition better.
This study looks at how the volume of air you breathe in during a bronchodilator test affects response and lung airflow distribution in people with COPD. It may help improve how this routine test is done.
This study looks at how COPD affects your breathing and heart health. It is for people who are newly diagnosed with COPD and have a history of smoking.
