A Phase 1 interventional study of KB407 (Nebulization) in Cystic Fibrosis, sponsored by Krystal Biotech, Inc.. Recruiting at 6 sites in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-05-07.
Sponsored by Krystal Biotech, Inc. · Phase 1, Interventional, and Treatment
This study will evaluate safety and tolerability of ascending doses of nebulized KB407 in adults with cystic fibrosis.
1,619 studies on the registry are indexed under Cystic Fibrosis; 199 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 20 is below the median of 36 across 1,051 interventional studies indexed under Cystic Fibrosis.

A confirmed diagnosis of CF as defined by clinical signs and symptoms of CF and at least one of the following:
Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
From a breathing test (spirometry): how much air you can blow out in the first second. Often given as a percentage of what is expected for your age, height and sex.
Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.
A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.
Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Started Jun 2023 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Dec 2026, 42 months after the start.
Of 39 industry-sponsored phase 1 interventional studies under Cystic Fibrosis, half reached primary completion within 8 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 2 and three quarters within 16. This study's planned 42 months is above that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 62 studies reached it within 10 months; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 34.
