This program is intended to facilitate research that will contribute to the development of new therapies or therapeutic strategies to treat cystic fibrosis with an emphasis on advancing CFTR gene repair and replacement approaches.
Clinical trials are critical to developing new treatments for CF. So, how exactly does an experimental drug become an approved therapy?
There have never been more opportunities to help develop new drugs for cystic fibrosis than there are today. When you are deciding whether to participate in a
When participating in a clinical trial, nothing is more important than your safety. We go the extra mile when it comes to protecting study volunteers.

Cystic fibrosis is caused by mutations in both copies of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. Scientists are examining whether it is possible to correct the mutations through a process called gene editing.
For
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is aggressively pursuing potential treatments for people with CF who have nonsense and rare mutations who will not benefit from drugs known as modulators, which correct the malfunctioning cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (
Through efficient study design, optimized clinical trial execution, and high-quality data, the Therapeutics Development Network (TDN) helps speed the delivery of new and better therapies to people with cystic fibrosis.
