New sweat test for cystic fibrosis diagnosis
Part of Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a new device that measures how your sweat glands react to a common asthma medication. It aims to better classify people with cystic fibrosis or related diseases, and also includes healthy volunteers and carriers.

This study tests a new, portable device that measures the amount of salt in your sweat to help monitor how well your CF treatment is working. It is a simple, non-invasive test that could make monitoring easier than traditional methods.
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 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.
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 study tests if people with cystic fibrosis can collect sputum samples at home and mail them in, instead of coming to the clinic. It aims to make participation easier for patients.
