Conventional treatment of CF involves pancreatic enzyme
replacement and treatment of pulmonary infections with
antibiotics and physiotherapy. These measures have
dramatically improved survival rates for cystic fibrosis over the
last 20 years. Several gene therapy trials have been undertaken
in CF patients aimed at delivering the normal CFTR gene to
the airway epithelium and research into this approach is
continuing.
