Investigating SP-101 gene therapy for cystic fibrosis
Official title: A Single Ascending Dose, Phase 1/2 Trial to Evaluate the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of SP-101 Via Nebulizer for the Treatment of Cystic Fibrosis (CF)
Run by Spirovant Sciences, Inc. · NCT06526923 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new gene therapy called SP-101 to see if it can help adults with cystic fibrosis who can't use standard treatments.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 65 with a confirmed diagnosis of cystic fibrosis and stable disease who are ineligible for or intolerant to existing CFTR modulator therapies.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with significant lung infections or those requiring new interventional treatments may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This Phase 1/2 multicenter trial evaluates the safety and effectiveness of SP-101, an investigational gene therapy, in adults with cystic fibrosis who cannot tolerate or are ineligible for CFTR modulator therapy. The study involves administering single ascending doses of SP-101 alongside doxorubicin to assess pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Participants will be closely monitored for safety and clinical outcomes throughout the trial.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this therapy could provide a new treatment option for cystic fibrosis patients who currently have limited alternatives.
How similar studies have gone: While gene therapy approaches for cystic fibrosis are being explored, this specific trial represents a novel application of SP-101 and has not been previously tested in this context.

Clinically significant laboratory abnormalities at Screening 13. Subjects with any medical condition or abnormal laboratory result that, in the opinion of the Investigator, will interfere with the safe completion of the study 14.
