About this study
Official title: An Open-label, Phase 1/2 Trial of Gene Therapy 4D-710 in Adults With Cystic Fibrosis
This is a Phase 1/2 multicenter, open-label, single dose trial of 4D-710 investigational gene therapy in adults with cystic fibrosis.
Read the detailed description
This Phase 1/2 trial will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of 4D-710, an investigational gene therapy, in adults with cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease who are ineligible or unable to tolerate CFTR modulator therapy. A sub-study will evaluate 4D-710 in a cohort of adults with CF advanced lung disease and/or frequent pulmonary exacerbation (PE) while on currently available CFTR modulator therapy.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
4D-710Biological
4D-710 is an adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapy comprised of an AAV capsid variant (4D-A101) carrying a transgene cassette encoding human cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator with a deletion in the regulatory domain (CFTRΔR).
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| 4D-710 Phase 1: Dose Exploration | Experimental | Participants who are ineligible for or intolerant of modulator therapy will receive one of various dose levels of 4D-710 to identify recommended phase 2 dose(s) for further evaluation. Receives: Biological: 4D-710 |
| 4D-710 Phase 2: Dose Expansion | Experimental | Participants will receive a single inhalational administration of 4D-710 at the dose level(s) selected for dose expansion. Receives: Biological: 4D-710 |
| 4D-710 Dose Exploration (Sub-Study) | Experimental | Participants who are on currently available CFTR modulator therapy will receive a dose of 4D-710 at various dose levels. Receives: Biological: 4D-710 |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Incidence and severity of adverse events
Safety and tolerability of 4D-710 following a single dose via inhalation, as assessed by incidence and severity of treatment emergent adverse events, serious adverse events, and dose limiting toxicities, including clinically significant changes from baseline to scheduled time points in safety parameters.
Measured: 60 Months

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing 4D-710 in people with Cystic Fibrosis Lung, run by 4D Molecular Therapeutics at 20 sites in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 17 inclusion and 18 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Jul 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 20 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact 4DMT Patient Advocacy ((888) 748-8881, clinicaltrials@4DMT.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Incidence and severity of adverse events (time frame: 60 Months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05248230, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Jul 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
