Categories of CF Clinical Trials
- Genetic-Based Treatments: Research on targeting the defective CFTR gene, including gene therapy and gene editing.
- CFTR Modulator Therapies: How CFTR modulators like Trikafta, Orkambi, and Kalydeco work by addressing the faulty protein that CFTR mutations cause.
- Anti-Inflammatory Treatments: Focus on reducing lung inflammation to prevent tissue damage.
- Infection Control: Research on antibiotics and new methods to combat chronic infections by resistant bacteria in the CF lung.
- Symptomatic Treatments: Exploring therapies for respiratory and digestive symptoms to improve daily life for patients.
3. Major Advances from Recent Clinical Trials
- CFTR Modulators:
- Overview of significant modulators in recent years that target different CF mutations.
- Impact of modulator therapies on life expectancy and quality of life.
- Gene Therapy and Gene Editing:
- Ongoing research into gene therapy aimed at correcting the CFTR mutation directly.
- Potential of CRISPR-Cas9 and other editing tools to provide long-term solutions for CF.
- Antibiotic Resistance:
- Advances in antibiotic therapies tailored to CF lung infections and combatting Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus.
- New Drug Delivery Systems:
- Inhalation therapies and other innovative delivery mechanisms for better drug absorption in CF patients.
