Dear Friend,
We have good news! Today, Inspire Pharmaceuticals announced positive results from the first Phase 3 clinical trial of denufosol, an inhaled drug that targets the basic defect in cystic fibrosis.
CF patients who took the drug showed significant improvement in lung function. Denufosol aims to treat the basic defect by using an alternative chloride transport channel, which allows sodium and chloride to move in and out of the cell, thereby enhancing mucus hydration and clearance.
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has been involved from the very beginning, funding basic science research of alternate chloride channels, which led to the development of denufosol. The Foundation has worked closely with Inspire during the drug's development and provided funding for a key Phase 2 clinical trial.
We need your help to complete development of denufosol, so the drug can be brought to market. You can make a difference by participating in the final Phase 3 clinical trial of denufosol.
