First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 11, 2026 · Updated 28 times
Summary
This study looks at whether people with cystic fibrosis can collect sputum (mucus) samples at home and mail them in to check for lung infections, instead of coming to the clinic. About 150 adults will provide both home and clinic samples so researchers can compare how well each method detects bacteria. The goal is to see if home collection is reliable enough for routine care and research.
