What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tested a new way to find early signs of lung damage in people with COPD or ILD by analyzing carbon dioxide (CO2) in their breath in real time. Researchers aimed to detect changes before standard lung function tests show any problems. The study included 40 adults, including patients and healthy smokers and non-smokers. This is an early research step to see if the method works, not a treatment.
