Today, I received the following email from the CF Foundation. It sounds so promising and I ask for your prayers that it can be the drug to cure the thousands of people living with CF!
"Dear Friend,
We’ve reached an exciting milestone in the search for a cure.
One of our most promising potential therapies, VX-770, is moving forward in clinical trials. This compound has the potential to be one of the first drugs ever to treat the basic genetic defect in cystic fibrosis.
VX-770 (developed by Vertex Pharmaceuticals) is already being tested in adults. This week, for the first time, Vertex initiated a clinical trial in patients aged 6 to 11. Once the studies are complete, the FDA will determine if VX-770 is safe, effective and acceptable for approval. To find out more about VX-770, read the full story. You can also read a very exciting article in today's Xconomy, quoting CF researcher Bonnie Ramsey and highlighting the work of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation."
