  • Antibiotics to prevent and treat chest infections
  • Medicines to make the mucus in the lungs thinner and easier to cough up
  • Medicines to widen the airways and reduce inflammation
  • Special techniques and devices to help clear mucus from the lungs

  • The NHLBI is working on a system to predict lung function/decline, far in advance to any issues.
  • Investigators are studying the CFTR protein folding to find better solutions for patients with rare variants of CF.
  • Researchers are using non-invasive, radiation-free imaging and proteomic biomarkers to diagnose and monitor lung disease progression in children with CF.
  • Studies are testing whether a medicine to correct acid problems in the blood can also help reduce acid levels in the airways, which can then prevent or reduce the development of CF
