Respiratory - SPOTLIGHT

Spotlight: Advancing cystic fibrosis research

Cystic fibrosis (CF) remains one of the most challenging respiratory conditions, requiring innovative approaches and dedicated expertise. Rho has contributed to groundbreaking CF research, playing a vital role in trials that have led to FDA-approved therapies improving lung function and patient outcomes. Our deep involvement in CF studies includes:

  • Optimizing trial design for CF therapies – Experience with phase 1-3 trials, including novel triple-combination therapies that have redefined treatment paradigms.
  • Advanced biomarker and endpoint integration – Expertise in sweat chloride testing, lung function assessments (FEV1), and patient-reported outcomes.
  • Regulatory strategy and rare disease experience – Successfully guiding CF treatments through FDA’s expedited pathways, including Fast Track and Breakthrough Therapy designations.
  • Decades of CF research experience – Trusted by leading sponsors and academic collaborators, we’ve supported more than 30 CF studies across all phases, including pivotal trials with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, contributing to the advancement of CF therapies worldwide.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) remains one of the most challenging respiratory conditions, requiring innovative approaches and dedicated expertise. Rho has played a key role in CF clinical trials, helping to advance therapies that improve lung function and extend quality of life. Our experience includes:

  • Cutting-edge trial design – Incorporating novel endpoints to measure therapeutic impact more effectively.
  • Regulatory expertise – Navigating FDA and global agency expectations for CF-specific treatments.
  • Real-world impact – Supporting research that leads to actionable, life-changing treatments for the CF community.
