Astaxanthin supplement for lung rehab in COPD
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests if taking an oral astaxanthin supplement (a natural antioxidant) alongside a pulmonary rehab program helps people with moderate to severe COPD breathe better and stay more active.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have COPD stage II, III, or IV (as defined by your doctor).
- You feel short of breath with daily activities (mMRC score 3) or have noticed your physical fitness getting worse.
- You do not need continuous oxygen or have very low blood oxygen at rest.
- You are not taking oral steroids now, and have not done a supervised exercise program in the last year.
- You do not have another lung disease or a condition that limits your ability to exercise.

This study tests whether spending time at a moderate altitude (like a mountain resort) can help people with COPD breathe easier. It measures how open your airways are using a special test while you do a rehabilitation program.
This study looks at how inflammation and oxidative stress affect COPD. It tests whether a pulmonary rehabilitation program helps reduce these factors in people with stable COPD who are former smokers.
This study tests a new injection called XKH001 to see if it helps people with COPD (chronic lung disease) who have frequent flare-ups despite using regular inhaler medications. The goal is to reduce how often flare-ups happen and improve breathing.
This study tests whether a new approach can help relieve severe shortness of breath in people with COPD who are already on standard inhaler therapy. It may help you breathe easier and improve your daily life.
This trial tests if a daily supplement called astaxanthin can help people with mild-to-moderate asthma, especially in areas with more air pollution. You would take capsules and track your breathing at home.
This study tests whether breathing extra oxygen during outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation helps people with COPD. Participants will have their oxygen levels checked during exercise to see if extra oxygen improves their rehab results.
