Hopeful early results for a new CF gene therapy

KB407, an inhaled gene therapy, has shown promising early results in a Phase 1 study. Researchers found that the therapy was generally well tolerated and successfully delivered a healthy CFTR gene to lung cells - including for people with CF who can’t benefit from current modulator treatments.

With these early safety and laboratory findings, a larger clinical trial is planned next. While more research is needed, KB407 could one day help expand treatment options for people across all CF mutations.
