Phase 2, Phase 3, Phase 4

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of death worldwide, caused primarily by smoking-related airflow obstruction and characterized by progressive dyspnea, chronic bronchitis, and exacerbations that drive hospitalizations and mortality. Despite approval of triple inhaled therapy (LABA/LAMA/ICS), exacerbation rates remain high in eosinophilic phenotypes, driving active trials in targeted biological therapies that have transformed severe asthma management.

Active trials investigate dupilumab for eosinophilic COPD (BOREAS and NOTUS trials showed reduced exacerbations), itepekimab (anti-IL-33), tezepelumab (anti-TSLP), mepolizumab for high-eosinophil COPD, phosphodiesterase-3/4 inhibitors, and novel mucolytic approaches. Disease-modifying trials targeting lung regeneration (all-trans retinoic acid, stem cell therapy) and alpha-1 antitrypsin augmentation for AATD-related COPD are also active.

COPD trials typically require post-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC <0.70 with documented history of exacerbations; blood eosinophil count ≥150 or ≥300 cells/μL is increasingly used to enrich biologic trials.

Frequently Asked Questions — copd Clinical Trials

How many clinical trials are currently recruiting for copd?
ClinicalMetric currently tracks 29 actively recruiting clinical trials for copd, sourced in real time from ClinicalTrials.gov. The total number of registered studies—including those not yet enrolling or in active follow-up—is 29. Trial availability changes daily as new studies open enrollment and existing ones reach capacity.
What trial phases are available for copd?
copd research spans Phase 2 (1 trial), Phase 3 (1 trial), Phase 4 (2 trials). Phase 1 studies evaluate safety and dosing in small groups, Phase 2 studies assess preliminary efficacy in 100–300 participants, and Phase 3 trials compare the new treatment against the standard of care in 300–3,000+ patients. Phase 4 post-approval studies monitor long-term outcomes in real-world populations.
How do I find out if I qualify for a copd clinical trial?
Eligibility criteria for copd trials vary by study and typically specify age range, disease stage or severity, prior treatment history, and specific diagnostic or laboratory parameters. Each listing on ClinicalMetric links to the full protocol on ClinicalTrials.gov, where inclusion and exclusion criteria are documented. Contact the sponsoring site's research coordinator directly to confirm your eligibility—your treating physician or specialist can also help identify the most appropriate trial based on your medical history and current treatment status.
