Inhaled gene therapy aims to fix cystic fibrosis lungs

NCT ID NCT05248230

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 1/2 trial tests a single inhaled dose of gene therapy called 4D-710 in 30 adults with cystic fibrosis who cannot take standard modulator drugs. The therapy delivers a working copy of the CFTR gene directly to lung cells. The main goal is to check safety and side effects, but researchers will also look for signs that the treatment is improving lung function.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

4D-710 (gene therapy delivered via inhalation)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a new treatment option for cystic fibrosis lung disease, especially for people who cannot take current modulator therapies.

What could go wrong

This is an early phase trial with only 30 participants, so safety and effectiveness are not yet proven. Gene therapy may not reach enough lung cells or could cause side effects.
