Scientists probe immune cells in cystic fibrosis – no new drug, just knowledge
NCT ID NCT04970225
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at blood neutrophils (a type of immune cell) in 47 adults with cystic fibrosis. Researchers compared these cells between patients and healthy donors, and also examined how chronic infection, CFTR modulator drugs, and lung flare-ups affect neutrophil behavior. The goal was to better understand the disease, not to test a new treatment.
