A Study to Understand the Accuracy of a New Breathing Device Compared to Standard Testing for Asthma and COPD

This study is testing a new, easy-to-use breathing device called the N-Tidal Handset. It hopes to improve how doctors diagnose asthma and COPD, making it quicker and simpler than current methods, especially in local clinics. It aims to see if AI can accurately read your breath to tell if you have asthma or COPD.

A Study Evaluating the Efficacy of Budesonide, Glycopyrronium and Formoterol Fumarate Metered Dosed Inhaler on Cardiopulmonary Outcomes in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

A Study to Investigate GB-0895 in Adults With Mild to Moderate Asthma or COPD

This study is looking into a new medication called GB-0895 for people with mild to moderate asthma or COPD. Researchers want to see if it's safe, how the body handles it, and if it works. It's an early-stage study to gather basic information.

Exploring How Viral Infections Affect People With Chronic Lung Disease

This study looks at how viruses cause flare-ups in people with long-term lung conditions like COPD and bronchiectasis. We need volunteers to provide samples when they are well and when they have a flare-up to understand the role of viruses and how the body's defence system reacts. This could lead to better treatments.

Effects of Vibrating Mesh Nebulisation in Patients With COPD During Non-invasive Ventilation (VMN-NIV)

This study compares two ways of giving breathing medicines – a newer vibrating mesh method and a traditional jet method – to people with COPD who use a breathing machine at home. We want to see which one works better for breathing and symptoms.

Using Multiomics to Define Mechanisms of Rhinovirus-induced Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Exacerbations to Develop Novel Therapies and Therapeutic Targets

This study investigates why common cold viruses worsen COPD, aiming to find new treatments. Researchers will compare people with COPD and healthy volunteers after giving them a safe, contained dose of the common cold virus. This will uncover how the body reacts and identify ways to tackle flare-ups.

Changing Outcomes Through Achievement Emails in COPD Using Routine Healthcare Audits

This study looks at how emails sent to GP practices can help improve prescriptions for people with COPD. It tests if personalised emails or simple notification emails work better to help doctors follow national guidelines for lung medication.
