Portable Oxygen During Daily Activity for Lung Disease
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether using portable oxygen during everyday activities helps people with certain lung diseases (like pulmonary fibrosis or COPD) who only experience low oxygen levels when moving around. Researchers want to see if a portable oxygen device improves how well participants can function and feel during daily life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18–85 years old with either fibrotic lung disease (pulmonary fibrosis, sarcoidosis, or similar) or COPD
- Able to walk around outside your home without needing a cane, walker, or other aid
- Your lung disease has been stable on the same medications for at least 3 months
- Your oxygen drops below 89% only during physical activity (the 6-minute walk test), not at rest
- You can maintain acceptable oxygen levels (89% or higher) during a 6-minute walk using portable oxygen at low settings
- Have a smartphone compatible with the Oxiwear app and reliable home wifi or cell service to upload oxygen data

This study tests a new device called MobiO2 that may help keep oxygen levels steady while you walk or exercise. If you usually need oxygen during activity, this could help you stay active more comfortably.
This study compares using oxygen continuously versus only when needed for people with fibrotic interstitial lung disease or COPD. It aims to find which method improves daily life and activity.
This trial tests if adding high-flow oxygen therapy to your usual long-term oxygen therapy can help you breathe better. It is for people with COPD or ILD who use oxygen at home for at least 15 hours a day.
This trial tests whether adding extra oxygen during a 6-minute walk test helps people with chronic lung disease breathe better. It is for people with COPD or interstitial lung disease who have low oxygen levels, either during exercise or all the time.
This study looks at how oxygen levels change at night and during a short walk in people with fibrotic interstitial lung disease (a type of lung scarring). The goal is to understand these changes better, which could help improve care for people with this condition.
This study is testing whether using portable oxygen during physical activity can help people with mild-to-moderate interstitial lung disease feel better and be more active. It is for people whose oxygen levels drop during exercise but are normal at rest.
