One of the biggest obstacles between us and new CF meds is clinical trial participation (often more of an issue than money!).
There are quite a number of cool studies going on out there, like another Fizzy NAC study , Denufosol which as already shown INCREDIBLE results, Vertex trials which may help G551D patients and those with DF508 , and even breathing in a type of sugar to help clear mucus.
Past studies with every single one of these drugs has shown a powerful impact on CF lung function and/or overall CF health. How could you not want to help get these drugs to the market?
This is EXCITING, FASCINATING stuff. Even just 1 of these drugs has the potential to make a CFer's life much better.
If you want to see what's in your area (and remember, you can participate in a clinical trial outside your main CF center), please go here:
