Mini organs could solve cystic fibrosis diagnosis puzzle
NCT ID NCT07402434
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to develop a more accurate test for cystic fibrosis (CF) using lab-grown mini organs called organoids, made from a small piece of gut tissue. The researchers will compare this new test with current methods like sweat tests and genetic testing in 80 people who are hard to diagnose. The goal is to diagnose CF faster and more accurately, so patients can get the right treatment sooner.
