New inhaled mRNA therapy aims to fix cystic fibrosis at its source
NCT ID NCT07485543
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-phase study tests an inhaled mRNA drug (BMD003) in 24 people aged 12 and older with cystic fibrosis. The goal is to see if it is safe and can improve lung function by delivering instructions to make a working CFTR protein. Participants will receive multiple doses and be monitored for side effects and changes in breathing.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Aged 12 years and above (inclusive), regardless of gender. 2. Voluntarily sign the informed consent form (legal guardians sign for minors \<18 years old, with minor assent if needed). 3. Confirmed diagnosis of cystic fibrosis (CF) with clinically stable condition. 4. Weight ≥40 kg (≥18 years old) or ≥30 kg (\<18 years old), or deemed eligible by the investigator. 5. Predicted FEV1 ≥40% of the normal value and resting SpO2 ≥92% at screening. 6. SAD trial participants: ≥3 months after last dose, no residual CFTR protein/mRNA in nasal epithelial cells (confirmed by lab tests). 7. Quit smoking for at least 2 years. 8. Willing and able to comply with all study procedures and follow-up plans. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Acute respiratory/pulmonary events, significant hemoptysis, or changed CF respiratory medications within 1 month before the first dose. 2. Infected with highly virulent bacteria (e.g., \*Burkholderia cepacia\*, \*Mycobacterium abscessus\*), except for controllable colonization without clinical symptoms. 3. Clinically significant ECG abnormalities (e.g., prolonged QTcF: male \>450ms, female \>460ms) at screening. 4. Abnormal liver/kidney function at screening (TBIL \>ULN, ALT/AST \>3×ULN, CRE ≥1.5×ULN). 5. History of solid organ/bone marrow transplantation or on transplant waiting list. 6. Positive HIV, syphilis, HBsAg or HCV antibodies at screening. 7. Participated in inhaled drug/device studies or used CFTR modulators within 30 days before screening. 8. Pregnant or lactating females. 9. A history of allergies to inhaled drug components or other allergies deemed contraindicated by the investigator. 10. Any other medical conditions/circumstances that may interfere with the trial (judged by the investigator)
