New funding will support clinical development of two novel therapies to address complications of cystic fibrosis
The studies aim to improve early detection of chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD), the leading cause of lung transplant failures.
I felt unrelenting hope watching the first plenary of this year’s North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference. As I learned about progress that has been made in sickle cell disease, and how those learnings may help us develop a genetic therapy for CF, it showed me that the CF community is supporting people like me who can’t take modulators.
Foundation to fund up to $110 million for collaboration to accelerate the development of genetic therapies for CF
The Cystic Fibrosis Lung Transplant Consortium Biorepository and Patient Registry, in collaboration with Cleveland Clinic, will provide critical clinical data and samples to support future research investigating complications of lung transplant.
The Foundation and Bakar Labs will support AVECRIS Pte Ltd and Nosis Biological Sciences as they pursue genetic therapies for cystic fibrosis with their novel technologies.
