Observational study supported by the CF Foundation will monitor real-world experience with Trikafta
Back in 2015, my genetic sequencing revealed one nonsense mutation. But recently, I learned I have another nonsense mutation that may not have been identified when my genes were first sequenced. As more mutation-dependent therapies are developed, it’s crucial that people with CF have accurate information so they can make informed decisions.
For those of us who can’t take modulators, it can sometimes feel like you’ve been left behind. But I have found hope and motivation by participating in clinical trials.
The additional funding will support a Phase 2 clinical trial for an inhaled antisense oligonucleotide drug for people with cystic fibrosis who have the splicing mutation 3849+10Kb C-to-T.
