New app aims to boost cystic fibrosis treatment adherence

NCT ID NCT07031323

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study is testing a smartphone app called OnTrackCF, designed to help adults with cystic fibrosis remember to take their CFTR modulator medication and track their symptoms. The app sends up to 3 daily support messages and shows users their adherence levels. Researchers want to see if the app is easy to use, acceptable, and engaging for 60 adults with CF. The study does not test a new drug, but a behavioral tool to support existing treatment.
