New inhaled drug shows promise for cystic fibrosis in early trial
NCT ID NCT06478706
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested an inhaled drug called ETD001 in 57 adults with cystic fibrosis. The trial had two parts: one to check safety over 7 days, and another to see if the drug improves lung function over 28 days. Participants took the drug or a placebo twice daily. The goal is to find a new treatment that helps people with CF breathe easier.
