Simple breath test may predict COPD Flare-Ups
NCT ID NCT07045948
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study follows 100 adults with COPD for one year to see how airway inflammation changes over time. Researchers use a simple breath test (FeNO) and a blood sample to measure inflammation markers. Participants visit the clinic three times—at the start, 6 months, and 12 months—to track lung function and symptoms. The goal is to understand why some people have flare-ups while others stay stable.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors better predict COPD flare-ups by monitoring simple breath and blood markers.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study with no treatment being tested, so it won't directly improve health. Results may not apply to all COPD patients.
