Could a common pill ease the struggle to breathe for millions with COPD?

NCT ID NCT05061368

Summary

This study is testing if a single dose of oral sildenafil (the active ingredient in Viagra) can help people with mild COPD exercise longer and feel less short of breath. Researchers believe sildenafil may improve blood flow in the lungs, which could reduce breathlessness during activity. The trial will involve 160 participants and compare the effects of sildenafil against a placebo pill.
