Welcome to the third installment in our video series highlighting the ways that Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Therapeutics (CFFT) and industry are tackling cystic fibrosis from every angle. This week's topic explores new approaches to restoring airway surface liquid that are in CFFT's drug development pipeline.
Watch the video below to hear Dr. John P. Clancy describe how the airway surfaces in the lungs of people with CF become dehydrated and why it is important to restore liquid to those surfaces. Dr. Clancy describes two new research approaches being tested in clinical trials that may help correct this problem.
