NCT ID NCT04231760

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether inhaling nitric oxide can improve how well the lungs exchange oxygen during exercise in people with mild to moderate COPD. Researchers will measure lung blood vessel function and breathing efficiency in 80 participants (40 with COPD and 40 healthy volunteers). The goal is to understand why COPD patients feel breathless during exercise and find better ways to help them exercise longer.
