Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

In brief

This clinical trial aims to assess the impact on exercise tolerance and the safety of inhaled nitric oxide in subjects with moderate-to-severe COPD. The findings are expected to contribute to the development of safe and effective therapeutic strategies for COPD management.
