Study of how cystic fibrosis lung disease changes over time
Part of Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This observational study follows children newly diagnosed with cystic fibrosis to understand how their lung disease develops. It may help doctors better predict disease course and choose the right timing for care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be a child newly diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (CF)
- Diagnosis should be confirmed by accepted CF tests (like high sweat test, CF gene changes, or specific nasal/rectal test changes)
- Be diagnosed either by newborn screening/early testing in the first 4 months, or later because of symptoms after 4 months
- Not be extremely premature (born before 30 weeks of pregnancy)
- Be able and willing for you and your child to take part and stay in the study

This study looks at how a child’s early lung function, viral infections, and gut (microbiome) changes affect cystic fibrosis over time. It may help doctors understand what predicts how lung disease develops, which could improve future care.
This study tracks the natural course of cystic fibrosis in young children (under 6) and healthy babies over time. It aims to understand how the disease changes in the era of modern treatments, which could help improve care and guide future therapies.
This study looks at how where your body stores fat may be linked to changes in metabolism and lung function over time in people with cystic fibrosis. It also compares results with healthy people similar in age, sex, and body size to understand the differences better.
This study enrolls newly diagnosed infants with cystic fibrosis to follow them during “precision medicine” care. It may help doctors better understand which treatments and monitoring work best, especially before certain infections develop.
This study follows women with cystic fibrosis (CF) during pregnancy and after birth, and checks on their babies and young children. The goal is to learn more about how CF affects pregnancy and child development.
This study tests a new method to detect bacteria in the lungs of people with cystic fibrosis (CF) by analyzing mucus samples. It aims to improve how we diagnose and treat lung infections.
