Monday, November 23, 2020, 11:30 am PT (2:30 pm ET)
The role of anti-inflammatories in CF care is vital. Lenabasum, Corbus Pharmaceuticals’ investigational drug that mimics the effects of endocannabinoids in regulating inflammation, has been tracked through the clinical trial process with tremendous optimism. Dr. Chmiel, Principal Investigator of CF-002 (lenabasum), and Division Chief for Pediatric Pulmonology, Allergy and Sleep Medicine at Indiana University School of Medicine, will review the results of the recent Phase IIb trial, and its implications for the CF community. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions.
