NCT ID NCT07275359
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage study looks at whether metformin, a drug used for diabetes, is safe and tolerable for older adults (65+) with COPD who do not have diabetes. Researchers will also check if metformin changes blood markers linked to aging. The goal is to see if this approach is feasible for a larger future study.
