About Lung Health Studies
Clinical research studies help doctors and scientists learn more about how to prevent, diagnose, and treat lung conditions. These studies often involve volunteers who participate in trials to test new medications, therapies, or lifestyle changes that could improve breathing and overall lung function.
What Are Researchers Studying?
Recent lung health studies have focused on:
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): Exploring new inhalers and medications to reduce symptoms and flare-ups.
- Asthma: Testing personalized treatment plans based on genetics and environment
- Lung Cancer: Investigating early detection methods and targeted therapies
- Pulmonary Fibrosis: Studying medications that may slow disease progression
- COVID-19 Recovery: Understanding long-term lung effects and rehabilitation strategies
Lung health clinical research helps doctors and scientists learn more about lung health and how to prevent or treat lung-related conditions.
Clinical Trial Safety: What You Should Know
Patient safety is the top priority in all clinical trials. Here’s how it’s protected:
- Strict Oversight- trials are reviewed and approved by ethics committees and regulatory agencies before they begin
- Informed Consent- patients receive detailed information about the study, including risks and benefits, and must give written permission to participate
- Monitoring-participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. Any side effects or concerns are addressed immediately
- Right to Withdraw-patients can leave the study at any time, for any reason, without affecting their regular medical care
- Data Protection-personal health information is kept confidential and used only for research purposes
Why Participate?
By joining a clinical study, patients can:
- Access new treatments before they’re widely available
- Help improve care for future patients
- Receive close monitoring from healthcare professionals

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a clinical research study?
A clinical trial, also called a clinical research study, is a carefully designed scientific evaluation of an investigational medicine or treatment. Clinical trials are conducted by doctors and researchers. Clinical research helps doctors and scientists determine if an investigational medicine or therapies are safe and/or effective for use in humans to potentially treat a condition, disease, or disorder.
Before regulatory authorities that are responsible for approving medicines for use in each country can consider an investigational medicine, device, or procedure for approval, it must be shown to be both safe and work well, or the overall benefits outweigh the risks. Typically, this is accomplished through clinical trials.
Clinical trials must be reviewed by an Institutional Review Board (IRB) or Ethics Committee (EC). An IRB or EC is a group that is responsible for helping to protect the rights and welfare of study participants. In addition, every study participant is monitored with medical tests and study-related exams before, during, and sometimes even after the trial.
What happens if I sign up?
If you are interested in participating, please fill out the online questionnaire below to see if you are eligible for the study. If you are potentially eligible, we will match you to a clinical research site in your area that is participating in the Auτonomy Study and seeking participants. Someone from the clinical research site will contact you to explain more about the study and to determine if you meet the study criteria before you make your decision about participating. The site team will provide you with more details about the study and determine your next steps.
