Scientists test genetic patch to fix cystic fibrosis at its source

NCT ID NCT05100823

Summary

This study tested a new type of genetic therapy designed to fix a specific type of error in the CFTR gene that causes cystic fibrosis. Researchers used cells from 16 patients to see if custom-made 'oligonucleotide blockers' could repair the gene's instructions and restore normal protein function. The goal was to validate this approach in the lab as a potential future treatment for patients with these specific genetic mutations.
