Home monitoring and breathing support for advanced COPD
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a breathing machine at home, along with regular check-ins by phone or video, can help people with severe COPD who have high carbon dioxide levels. It aims to see if this approach improves their health and reduces hospital visits.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 50 and 90 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with COPD and your breathing test shows severe blockage (less than 50% of expected).
- You have had high carbon dioxide levels in your blood for at least two weeks after a recent COPD flare-up.
- You have had two or more COPD flare-ups in the past year.
- You are not already using a breathing machine at home (like a CPAP or NIV).

This study tests a home monitoring system that watches how well noninvasive breathing support (a mask that helps you breathe) works for people with severe COPD. The system sends early warnings to your care team if your breathing patterns change, which may help prevent flare-ups.
This study tests whether using a breathing machine (called non-invasive ventilation, or BiPAP) at home can help people with severe COPD breathe better and possibly live longer. It is for people whose blood CO2 levels stay high even after a COPD flare-up.
This study compares remote video check-ins with usual care for people with COPD who use a home breathing machine. It aims to see if remote monitoring can improve health and reduce hospital visits.
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.
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 studies how different breathing support strategies affect people with COPD who have high carbon dioxide (CO2) in their blood. It may help care teams choose safer respiratory support after a breathing machine is stopped.
