Better COPD care for people evaluated for lung cancer
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether people being checked for possible lung cancer can also get improved care for a breathing condition called COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). It focuses on patients whose lung function tests show airflow problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are undergoing tests to check if you might have lung cancer
- Your breathing test (spirometry) shows reduced airflow in your lungs that doesn't improve with medication
- You do not have other serious health conditions that would make it unsafe to do breathing tests
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding

This study looks at people with COPD to find lung cancer earlier using risk-based checks. It may help catch cancer sooner and guide better care.
This study looks at how lung cancer screening can also help find and manage COPD, a lung condition that often goes undetected. If you are a current or former smoker and meet certain age and smoking history criteria, you may join to help improve screening and care for both lung cancer and COPD.
This study looks at COPD in people who are already getting lung cancer screening. If you have COPD or a high risk for it, joining this observational trial may help researchers learn more about your condition.
This study looks at whether combined heart and lung checks can improve COPD management. If you have COPD and a heart condition, the results may help doctors better tailor your treatment.
This trial offers a lung cancer screening program using a low-dose CT scan for people who have COPD or emphysema and a history of heavy smoking. The goal is to catch lung cancer early, when it's more treatable.
This trial studies blood and tissue samples from people with COPD, IPF, or lung cancer to find markers that can help diagnose and predict these conditions. It aims to discover why some lung diseases progress to cancer.
