COPD clinical trials, in English

COPD records usually need spirometry confirming obstruction, a smoking history, and exacerbation counts. Some studies enroll eosinophilic COPD for biologics. Oxygen use and recent pneumonia can be exclusions. Confirm on the NCT page. Sourced from ClinicalTrials.gov. Not a recommendation to join any study.

Not a traditional drug phase: Maximal strenght training (MST) plus endurance training (ET) for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

In the context of pulmonary rehabilitation of COPD patients, recent guidelines and metanalysis describe that Resistance Training (RT) can be successfully performed alone or in conjunction with Endurance Training (ET) without evidence of side effects. Maximal Strength Training (MST) is a kind of RT typically performed at \~85-90% of 1RM with maximal velocity to be developed in the concentric phase.

Not a traditional drug phase: Development of a screening algorithm designed to determine a "dysmobility" profile in patients with chronic illness. for Joint Osteoarthritis

Chronic illness is a public health issue and mobility loss is frequent in this population. Among its' multiple physical and psychological consequences, increased mortality and cardiovascular morbidity seem the main concern.

Not a traditional drug phase: IMT and exercise training group for Inspiratory Muscle Training

Recovery after lung transplantation (LTx) may be complicated by prolonged mechanical ventilation (MV) and protracted intensive care unit (ICU) stay leading to immobilization and impaired health-related quality of life (HRQoL). In the critical care setting, diaphragm atrophy and weakness have been associated with difficulty weaning from MV, increased risk for readmission to hospital or ICU, and increased mortality.

Not a traditional drug phase: virtual reality for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Chronic respiratory diseases, such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), are a leading cause of death globally. These diseases not only contribute significantly to mortality but also lead to a decline in physical capacity, limiting daily activities and perpetuating a vicious cycle of deconditioning.

Not a traditional drug phase: Interdisciplinary intervention for COPD - Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Introduction: Pulmonary rehabilitation programs (PRPs) are known to reduce symptoms such as dyspnea and fatigue, while improving functional capacity and quality of life in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the benefits of an initial pulmonary rehabilitation program (PRP) tend to diminish rapidly over time, prompting the development of strategies to maintain these effects.

Not a traditional drug phase: Non-Invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation for Acute Hypoxic Respiratory Failure

The purpose of this clinical trial is to determine the best initial non-invasive respiratory support (NIRS) strategy for adults who present to the emergency department with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure, a condition in which blood oxygen levels are dangerously low and require urgent treatment. This study compares two commonly used non-invasive respiratory support strategies to evaluate their effectiveness and safety, based on important patient outcomes during hospitalization, including survival, the need for invasive mechanical ventilation, and the duration of respiratory support.

Phase 4: testing dupilumab for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

This study is researching a drug called dupilumab, referred to as "study drug". The study is focused on people diagnosed with COPD to determine if the study drug, in addition to standard of care treatment for COPD, might reduce the reoccurrence of a COPD exacerbation (a "flare-up") happening within the study treatment duration (around 90 days).

This feasibility cluster-controlled randomly assigned trial (RCT) evaluates a complex intervention for the delivery of primary palliative care in Family Health Units (FHUs). The intervention consists of training General Practitioners (GPs) in palliative care through a 30 hour e-learning program and implementing a structured consultation model (4 consultations over 12 weeks) for adult patients with advanced chronic illness.

This prospective, real-world watch-and-measure (no experimental treatment required) study (T2AIR Study) evaluates the long-term how well it works and safety of six biologics targeting Type 2 inflammation - omalizumab, mepolizumab, benralizumab, dupilumab, tezepelumab, and depemokimab - in patients with chronic airway diseases, including asthma and COPD under routine clinical practice in China. The primary objective is to determine the annualized exacerbation rate (AER) over 12 months of treatment.

Chronic Respiratory Disease Participant Engagement Study

This study is designed for adults who have, or suspected to have, a long-term respiratory (lung) condition such as Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, bronchiectasis, or interstitial lung disease (ILD). The aim of the study is to help participants become familiar with the clinical trials unit environment and research team before deciding whether they would like to take part in future clinical trials.

FAQ: COPD trials

How do I find recruiting COPD clinical trials?

This hub lists 31 recruiting COPD studies from a ClinicalTrials.gov snapshot, rewritten in plain English. Each card links to its NCT record. You can also search the official registry for “chronic obstructive pulmonary disease” at https://clinicaltrials.gov/search?cond=chronic%20obstructive%20pulmonary%20disease.

What does a COPD trial page on PlainTrials include?

A phase explainer, a plain-English summary grounded in the brief summary, inclusion/exclusion extracted from the public eligibility block, sponsor name, and any central contact the sponsor published. It is not a match to a trial.

Where are COPD studies located in this snapshot?

Sites that appear on these records include Miami, Florida; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Columbus, Ohio; Lyon, France; DuBois, Pennsylvania. A city on a record is not a guarantee that the site is taking new patients this week — call the NCT contact.

Can PlainTrials tell me if I qualify for a COPD study?

No. Eligibility is decided by the study team using the protocol, labs, and consent. Our “who it is for” list is a readable extract of public inclusion text only.
