First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study collects blood, nasal, and intestinal cells from 500 people with cystic fibrosis caused by rare mutations. The cells are stored in a bank and shared with researchers to test potential new drugs in the lab. It is a first step toward finding treatments for those who cannot use current therapies like Trikafta.
