NCT ID NCT01969344
First seen Nov 16, 2025 · Last updated May 07, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This study follows nearly 3,000 people with COPD (a lung disease) and some healthy smokers and non-smokers over several years. Researchers are collecting health data, lung function tests, and imaging to find patterns in how COPD progresses and to develop better ways to measure the disease. The goal is to improve future treatments and understand what makes COPD worse, not to test a new drug.
