Cystic Fibrosis - Global Clinical Trial Landscape .

The report presents a data-backed review of the Cystic Fibrosis (CF) funding landscape, trial density and patient recruitment data across geographies, standard of care and emerging therapies, recent USFDA approvals, and regulatory trends. Importantly it also includes an in-depth SWOT analysis, to guide biotech firms on strategic decision-making, and research opportunities, and challenges.

Globally, 162,430 individuals are estimated to be living with CF.

CF is a hereditary autosomal recessive condition caused by CFTR (Cystic Fibrosis transmembrane regulator) gene mutations, disrupting chloride and bicarbonate transport in epithelial cells. This impairs the function of epithelial cells in the lungs, pancreas, and other organs which cause significant health issues.

The Cystic Fibrosis - Global Clinical Trial Landscape report found that before the 1980s, half of CF patients didn't survive beyond their 20s, but recent advancements in treatment have significantly increased life expectancy, with a projected 75% rise in the adult CF population by 2025.

CF demonstrates varying prevalence rates globally:

Currently there is no cure for CF, but this report highlights the wide-ranging and emerging treatments to support patients' longevity and quality of life, such as nutritional support, airway clearance techniques, and additional drugs targeted at improving the function of the faulty CFTR protein and preventing possible consequences. In certain cases, respiratory support, or surgical interventions may be necessary.

Since 2018, the biotech and the biopharma industry initiated over 450 CF clinical trials worldwide with the following breakdown:

The report noted that “In Europe, the United Kingdom and Germany led in CF trials, contributing 13% and 12% of trials respectively, highlighting the region's efforts and advancements in this area. In North America, the United States held the majority trial share with 68%, while Canada held 32%. Within Asia-Pacific, Australia held the highest trial share (64%), followed by New Zealand at 21%. Among the ROW countries, Israel led while Iran contributed a moderate share”.
