LL05-- Why Do Clinical Trials Fail?

Thursday, October 8, 2026
12:30 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
Food Available for Session Attendees
Chairs and speakers will discuss underlying challenges with past CF clinical trial designs that have led to the failures of CF drug development programs, with emphases on how lack of understanding of CF biology and/or clinician behavior have resulted in poor inclusion/exclusion criteria, imbalanced allocations, misguided efficacy endpoints and/or statistical analysis plans, and study underpowering.
