Today, there are more than 30 potential drugs in development for the treatment of cystic fibrosis.
These new therapies can only be made available to the people who need them after they are tested by individuals with CF in a series of clinical trials.
Clinical trials that test potential new drugs and therapies to see how well they work are a major part of CF research.
People with CF can play a critical role in the development of new treatments and the search for a cure by participating in clinical trials.
Watch Boomer Esiason talk about clinical trials and how his son Gunnar has been active in the process.
