Project Updates:

CF Research Update: Colleen updated the council on the new and exciting studies happening at Stanford. There are a fair number of Vertex research trials taking place this year. One of the Phase 3 Vertex studies is following the long-term effects of Ivacaftor and lumacaftor, the VX809 Compound. In addition, they are running a Vertex study looking at the 661 compound and Ivacaftor, which is closed to enrollment.  It was just announced today that Stanford has been chosen to participate in Phase 3 Vertex study looking at Ivacaftor in combination with VX-661. This is good news for patients with mutations other than the F508/F508 mutation. This study will recruit some of the untapped cf population. Just recently the FDA approved Ivacaftor for CF patients with the mutation R117-H. There are also other non-Vertex studies starting up looking at correcting CFTR protein. These are all early phase studies which will be starting up soon. As a reminder: the research team does a database search when a new study is starting, they then find patients that "fit" the protocol defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Once they've identify potential participants, the research team contacts those who meet criteria. As always you can reach out to Colleen if you have questions or are interested in a study! Colleen's number: 650 736-0388.  To find out more about CF Research Clinic Trails going on and updated information please visit the Stanford CF Clinic website at http://cfcenter.stanford.edu/
