Scientists hunt for clues in spit to predict cystic fibrosis severity

NCT ID NCT02976714

Summary

This study aimed to find biological markers in sputum (mucus coughed up from the lungs) that could help predict how severe lung disease might become in people with cystic fibrosis. Researchers studied 50 participants, aged 12 to 30, who have cystic fibrosis. They collected sputum samples over 18 months to look for specific chemical changes that might be linked to disease progression.
