This is an exciting time in cystic fibrosis clinical research. Not only are there several clinical trials of therapies to treat the underlying cause of CF, but there are also many trials to treat key symptoms of CF and improve quality of life. These include studies of antibiotics and anti-inflammatories to treat lung infections and inflammation, as well as treatments to improve nutrition and digestion.

Learn how your child's safety is protected, what to expect during a trial, and how to involve your child in the decision-making process.

Once your clinical trial is over, you can follow its progress online or follow up with your care team to find out about results. Learn how to use the Clinical Trial Finder and Drug Development Pipeline to track your trial and stay informed about current research.

There are two main types of clinical studies in CF research. Both are important to move research forward and provide the best outcomes for people with CF.

Clinical trials are critical to developing new treatments for CF. So, how exactly does an experimental drug become an approved therapy?

Choosing to volunteer in a clinical trial is a personal decision. Through a process called informed consent, you can learn key facts about a study and get answers to your questions.

Clinical trials that test potential drugs and therapies in people with cystic fibrosis are a major part of CF research. They take place at Cystic Fibrosis Foundation-accredited care centers all over the United States and enroll people with CF of all ages.

When you are deciding whether to join a clinical trial, you should consider logistics.

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.

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 clinical trial, it's important to know the potential risks and benefits.
