Read our Cystic Fibrosis research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is looking for patterns in blood, stool, and sputum samples from infants newly diagnosed with cystic fibrosis to identify biological markers—signs in the body that might predict how each child's disease will develop over time. Researchers will collect these samples during your child's regular cystic fibrosis clinic visits over the first three years of life, following the standard care your child already receives.
Cystic fibrosis affects different children in different ways, and doctors don't yet have reliable ways to predict which children will have milder or more severe disease. This study aims to discover early biological clues that could help doctors predict each child's outlook and tailor treatment plans more precisely from the start.

You would bring your child to routine cystic fibrosis clinic visits at the Roscoff center, where doctors will collect blood, stool, and sputum samples during regular check-ups. Your child will also have annual visits for skin and dental screening at the Brest hospital. This continues until your child is 3 years old, and all procedures are part of standard cystic fibrosis care—no extra hospital trips beyond what your child would normally need.
