Guest guest Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 I received this very interesting print out from my doctor. It explains where all of the research is. It is from CFF and I think you can probably get more info on their website. HOwever, here are some of the things it says... Gene therapy is in the phase 2 clinical trial which is the " safety and effectiveness " trials. CFTR protein rescue..there are currently 4 things they are working on. Phenylbutyrate and gentamicin are in the phase 2 clinical trial . Curcumin is in the phase one (Safety) trial and vertex/UCSF is in lab studies and drug discovery. Restore Ion Transport. There are 6 studies being done one is on the cusp of going to phase 3 clinical trial (safety, effectiveness and dose). Then there is SPI-8811 is at the end of phase one. Mollli 1901 is in the middle of phase one. INO4995 and Parion 617 are at the end of pre-clinical (lab testing) and then the Vertex/UCSF as mentioned previously. The other categories are anti-inflammatory, mucus regulation, anti- infectives,nutrition. The phases are: lab studies is the first step and then pre-clinical, phase 1 phase 2 phase 3 FDA approval amd then a phase4 which is Dose and new uses. If you can't find anymore info or would like more from me. I have the info that describes what ion transport etc... are and describes the drugs they are researching, which is available on the website, I think.
