This study collects information from children with cystic fibrosis or symptoms that might be cystic fibrosis to learn more about the disease in Chinese children. It may help improve diagnosis and care.
This study looks for simple signals (markers) that may show whether cystic fibrosis treatments are working. It includes people who take CF “modulator” medicines like ivacaftor, people who don’t, and people whose cystic fibrosis was ruled out after testing.
This study tests new treatments for cystic fibrosis in people who cannot take or choose not to take current CFTR modulators. It aims to find better options for managing CF.
This trial tests how well cystic fibrosis (CF) medicine works for you using an “n-of-1” approach, meaning you try treatments in a structured, repeated way to see what helps you most. It may help your care team choose the best option for your specific CF genetics and health status.
