BACKGROUND: Progressive airway damage due to bacterial infections, especially with Pseudomonas aeruginosa remains the first cause of morbidity and mortality in CF patients. Our previous work revealed a repair delay in CF airway epithelia compared to non-CF. This delay was partially prevented after CFTR correction (with VRT-325) in the absence of infection. Our goals were now to evaluate the effect of the Orkambi...
