A $350,000 Cure4 Cystic Fibrosis grant is set to propel the Wal-yan Respiratory Research Centre’s Phage WA program forward, supercharging its fight against antimicrobial resistant (AMR) lung infections in people with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) using cutting-edge phage therapy.
A promising new treatment pioneered in Western Australia for people with cystic fibrosis has commenced testing in a clinical trial in the United States and Australia.
Promising results from an Australian-led clinical trial could drastically change the way we care for young children with cystic fibrosis (CF).
The Kids Research Institute Australia spin-off company, Respirion, received $20 million in funding to develop a promising new therapy.
The family of two girls with cystic fibrosis are hopeful after The Kids Research Institute Australia spin-off company, Respirion, receives $20 million in funding to develop a promising new therapy.
A The Kids Research Institute Australia spin-off company has received $20 million from the Medical Research Commercialisation Fund to develop a promising new therapy for the treatment of Cystic Fibrosis.
The Kids researchers are pioneering an exciting new approach to clinical trials, which aims to fast-track the best treatments for people with rare and complex diseases.
Pulmonary exacerbations pose a significant clinical burden on people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF). Whether management of exacerbations should change in the context of modulator therapy is unclear. We describe the characteristics, treatment and lung function outcomes of pulmonary exacerbations requiring intravenous antibiotic therapy (PERITs) in a contemporary Australian cohort of pwCF, in an era of rapidly broadening access to modulator therapy.
Tracheobronchomalacia (TBM) is characterised by abnormal collapsibility of the trachea and bronchi, often seen in children with cystic fibrosis (CF). This study aims to determine the impact of TBM on hospital admissions in young children with CF.
Newly developed quantitative chest computed tomography (CT) outcomes designed specifically to assess structural abnormalities related to cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease are now available. CFTR modulators potentially can reduce some structural lung abnormalities. We aimed to investigate the effect of CFTR modulators on structural lung disease progression using different quantitative CT analysis methods specific for people with CF (PwCF).
