Mail-in mucus test could simplify infection tracking for CF patients

NCT ID NCT06950892

Summary

This study is testing whether sputum (mucus) samples collected at home and mailed to a lab are as good as samples collected in a clinic for detecting lung infections in adults with cystic fibrosis (CF). It aims to make infection monitoring easier and more accessible, especially as new treatments reduce mucus production and telehealth becomes more common. Researchers will compare bacteria found in home-collected samples to those from standard clinic procedures.
