Other than raising enough money for research, what are the biggest challenges to finding a cure for CF?
Finding enough people to participate in clinical trials is the biggest challenge. Many possible new treatments for CF are in the pipeline, but they must be thoroughly tested to prove they work and are safe. This can only happen if enough people with CF participate in clinical trials. To help recruit more people, the CF Foundation is making a special effort to give all people with CF the chance to be in clinical trials. We have increased the number of care centers who can offer clinical trials and we are striving to share the importance of participating in clinical trials with everyone who has CF.
