Treatment for Adult Patients
Because adult patients have their own unique issues, our health care team includes a pulmonologist who specializes in the care of adults with Cystic Fibrosis. Our team works closely to ensure our patients have an easy, gradual transition which meets their maturing medical and lifestyle needs. In fact, routine care and procedures continue to be performed at The Adult Cystic Fibrosis Center. This is good news as research shows that maintaining a continuity of care from a pediatric to an adult program helps produce better patient outcomes.
Clinical Research
Clinical research is a critical part of helping cystic fibrosis patients live longer and realize a better quality of life. In addition to developing and testing new drugs, some clinical research focuses on improving the use of current drugs or evaluating the effects of those commonly prescribed for long-term use for other diseases.
The clinical research undertaken by our Cystic Fibrosis Center includes ongoing, multi-center studies that hope to discover treatments that address the root cause of cystic fibrosis. For more information about adult or pediatric clinical trials that are being conducted at Saint Barnabas Pediatric Specialty Center, Pulmonolgy Division, please call 973-322-7785.
