Scientists hunt for hidden sources of lung infections in cystic fibrosis
NCT ID NCT05686837
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 37 times
Summary
This study aims to understand how nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) spread among people with cystic fibrosis (CF). NTM infections are hard to treat and common in CF, but their sources are unclear. Researchers will track 100 participants with CF and NTM, testing dust and water in clinics and mapping home water sources. The goal is to find where infections come from and how to prevent them.
