• Implant to help adults with severe emphysema

  This study will test whether an implantable artificial bronchus can improve breathing and safety in adults with severe COPD/emphysema.

  Recruiting at 4 sites Pulmair Medical, Inc. · San Francisco, California and 3 other locations · NCT07119229

• Endobronchial thermal liquid ablation for treating emphysema

  This study is testing a new treatment called endobronchial thermal liquid ablation to see if it can safely help people with severe emphysema breathe better and improve their quality of life.

  Recruiting at 2 sites Morair Medtech, LLC · Vienna, Austria and 6 other locations · NCT06655428

• PiMZ Longitudinal Cohort: tracking lung changes in PiMZ Alpha-1 patients

  This project will test whether CT lung density and blood or sputum biomarkers can predict worsening emphysema over three years in adults with PiMZ alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency and COPD.

  Recruiting Columbia University · Birmingham, Alabama and 4 other locations · NCT06505603

• Effect of endobronchial valves on diaphragm movement in COPD patients

  This study tests if putting in endobronchial valves can help improve diaphragm movement in people with COPD and see if that leads to better breathing and overall health.

  Recruiting Aarhus University Hospital · Aarhus · NCT06163131

• Using ultrasound to evaluate lung diseases

  This study is testing whether lung ultrasound can help doctors better understand and monitor lung diseases like interstitial lung disease and COPD in both hospital patients and those visiting outpatient clinics.

  Recruiting Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS · Rome · NCT06068647

• Using AeriSeal to treat collateral ventilation in severe emphysema patients

  This study is testing if the AeriSeal treatment can help people with severe emphysema breathe better by improving airflow in their lungs.

  Recruiting at 35 sites Pulmonx Corporation · Phoenix, Arizona and 37 other locations · NCT06035120

• Lung surgery for patients with severe emphysema who didn't improve with bronchoscopic treatment

  This study is testing a new lung surgery for people with severe emphysema who didn't get better from other treatments to see if it can help them breathe easier and improve their quality of life.

  Recruiting Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center · Boston, Massachusetts · NCT05257681

• Lung volume reduction using a new approach for emphysema treatment

  This study is testing a new surgery method that combines fixing lung fissures and placing valves to see if it helps people with severe emphysema feel better compared to regular treatments.

  Recruiting Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center · Boston, Massachusetts · NCT04801108

• Investigation of lung valves in patients with emphysema or COPD

  This study is trying to understand how certain biological responses in patients with severe COPD affect the success of a treatment using lung valves to help improve their breathing.

  Recruiting University Medical Center Groningen · Groningen · NCT04214587

• Lung and bone marrow transplantation for patients with lung and bone marrow failure

  This study tests if doing a lung transplant followed by a bone marrow transplant can help people with severe lung disease and bone marrow failure feel better and live longer.

  Recruiting at 2 sites Phase 1/2 University of Pittsburgh · Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and 1 other locations · NCT03500731

• Registry for patients treated with bronchoscopic thermal vapor ablation for emphysema

  This study is collecting information from up to 300 patients with upper lobe emphysema who are treated with a new vapor therapy to see how it affects their quality of life and lung function over five years.

  Recruiting at 17 sites Uptake Medical Technology, Inc. · Vienna and 19 other locations · NCT03318406
