Oxygen treatment during exercise for lung and pulmonary vascular disease
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares breathing normal air versus low-flow liquid oxygen during exercise to see if oxygen helps improve performance in people with conditions affecting the lungs or the blood vessels in the lungs. You would exercise while using a portable oxygen device and then without it to compare the effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with one of: pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with or without emphysema, or interstitial lung disease.
- Your oxygen levels drop by more than 3% during exercise.
- You are on a stable medication plan with no changes for at least 14 days before the study.
- You do not need extra oxygen at rest, and your blood oxygen level is not severely low (PaO2 is not below 6.9 kPa).
- You are able to exercise and follow the study procedures.

This study compares how well people with chronic lung diseases perform during exercise when breathing regular air versus when using low-flow liquid oxygen. It aims to see if using liquid oxygen during exercise can improve exercise ability and quality of life.
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 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.
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.
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.
This trial tests an automatic oxygen system that adjusts how much oxygen you get during exercise, so you can breathe easier and exercise more safely. It may help if you have a chronic lung disease and low oxygen levels during activity.
