The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation announced a new set of research agreements to drive progress on its Path to a Cure. The nine awards will advance a variety of tools and strategies to accelerate treatments for the underlying cause of cystic fibrosis for all people with CF, regardless of their mutations.
Today, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation awarded $2.76 million for 11 laboratory studies that will advance our understanding of the underlying factors that impact COVID-19 outcomes in people with cystic fibrosis. Ultimately, insights gained from this body of research may be used to improve future treatments.
Potential oral formulation of drug targeting nontuberculous mycobacteria infections could reduce side effects of current treatment
Potential treatment from Calithera Biosciences minimizes growth of germs in the lungs
Collaborative effort identifies 40 cases of COVID-19 across eight countries; outcomes for this high-risk population were reported in the Journal of Cystic Fibrosis
A cystic fibrosis diagnosis must not disqualify an individual from life-saving care.
Study reaffirms the Foundation's commitment to advance solutions to the growing challenge of antibiotic resistance and evaluate the use of phage to treat infections for people with CF
