Clinical trials are testing new potential therapies for COPD that might improve quality of life and reduce flare-ups. Start with a free lung health screening.
Why consider clinical trials for COPD?
- Standard treatments don’t sufficiently improve symptoms for everyone. Up to 50% of people with COPD experience at least one exacerbation per year.
- Clinical trial participants may access new potential therapies that are not yet available and receive close medical care.
- COPD has been linked to a higher risk of developing other serious health conditions including heart disease and diabetes. Care Access provides an initial health screening that looks for other related risk factors – such as the lesser-known Lp(a) cholesterol – for free.
