NCT ID NCT02325362

First seen Nov 20, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 24 times

Summary

This study tested whether the drug miglustat can help fix a key protein problem in people with cystic fibrosis who have the F508del gene mutation. Sixteen adults took either miglustat or a placebo, then switched, to see if the drug improved chloride movement in their nasal passages. The goal was to see if miglustat could restore some function to the faulty CFTR protein, which is the root cause of cystic fibrosis.
