Intervention in infants with cystic fibrosis key to slowing progression
Date:12/4/2008

r Cystic Fibrosis (AREST-CF).

"We are looking into the possibility of an intervention trial using macrolides as these drugs have proved useful in older children and adults. Anticipating that we would conduct the trial in one or two years' time, we think we need to recruit close to 80 patients in each arm of the trial," said Dr. Ranganathan, who is chair of the Melbourne wing. "Our main aim would be to optimize what an appropriate study design for an intervention trial should be so that we can move as quickly as possible from research to treatment. We'd like to be very aggressive about treatments from the very day an infant is diagnosed," he added.
