Study reaffirms the Foundation’s commitment to advance solutions to the growing challenge of antibiotic resistance

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation awarded up to $4.7 million to EnBiotix Inc. to study the potential use of inhaled colistin as an additional option to treat Pseudomonas infections in people with cystic fibrosis who are not responding to current treatments.

Investment will support discovery research of a novel Gene Coding^TM approach that could benefit all people with CF regardless of their mutation
 

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation awarded up to $3.5 million to Arrevus Inc. to test a potential treatment for pulmonary exacerbations in people with cystic fibrosis in a late phase clinical trial.

Today, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation announced that it has awarded up to $400,000 to Life Edit Therapeutics Inc. to explore the application of their unique gene editing technology in CF.

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is awarding up to $15.9 million in additional funding to Eloxx Pharmaceuticals Inc. to expand clinical studies of ELX-02, a potential therapy for people with CF who have nonsense mutations.

New modulators in development by the CF-specific company could provide unique treatment options for the underlying cause of cystic fibrosis for many people with the disease

Carbon Biosciences is the first company to publicly launch from the Foundation’s collaboration with Longwood Fund and the first to work alongside CF Foundation researchers at the Foundation’s therapeutics lab

The Foundation’s award will support preclinical studies of a potential phage therapy to treat resistant Pseudomonas infections.

This milestone was reached nearly two years ahead of the initiative’s five-year commitment. However, the Foundation aims to continue to support infection research at the same pace as it has in the past three years.
