    1st dose & 1st day of Denufosol

    Hi guys, Just wanted to give you exciting news about finally (after nearly 2 years) getting to try Denufosol (I'm about 95% sure I have the actual med, not the placebo). You can follow more on my blog if you want, but I thought some might be interested to hear what's up so far. From...

    For those who have been on denufosol

    Hi guys, I know several of you have been on denufosol (or your child has). I'm wondering if you could tell if you were on placebo or not? And did you turn out to be correct? I'm pretty sure I'm on the drug, but of course, I'm curious to know how everyone else felt. Take care and thanks in...

    Bronchitol trials reach recruitment goal

    So this article is cool for several reasons: 1. A promising CF med has reached its enrollment goal for its Phase III trial. What does that mean? It means we've gotten enough CFers in the clinical trial so once the trial is finished, the data can be analyzed and submitted to the FDA (if the...

    Senate Introduces Bill to Boost Participation in Clinical Trials for CF

    It has been said that clinical trial participation is just as important as raising money in getting new medications to treat CF to the market. This is a good step to improve clinical trial participation - something that needs to increase in our CF community! <a target=_blank...

    Which clinical trial are you in?

    <b><u>One of the biggest barriers sitting between CFer's and new meds is clinical trial participation. </b></u> I know many are doing their part by participating in clinical trials.

    Unbelievable Resource

    I was involved with the making of a few videos designed to help encourage and inspire CFer's around various topics that impact us on a daily basis. The target audience is 13-17, but I think the testimonials impact every age. I just saw the videos for the 1st time today and I'm incredibly...
