Committed to Global Cystic Fibrosis Research

With any cystic fibrosis program, building and maintaining strong relationships is critical. For this reason, we make a concerted effort to keep our cross-functional cystic fibrosis study teams together over the course of multiple studies—aiding development of our therapeutic indication expertise and strengthening our relationships with key opinion leaders and clinical sites in North America and Europe.

Why Choose Rho?

Rho understands what it takes to successfully execute global cystic fibrosis studies. Not only have we conducted studies of both pulmonary and gastrointestinal outcomes through inpatient and outpatient studies, we also have a comprehensive understanding of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Therapeutics Development Network (CFF TDN), the European Cystic Fibrosis Society (ECFS) Clinical Trials Network, and CanACT and their protocol assessment and feasibility processes. We have experience coordinating standard of care with study-specific procedures and assessments, interacting with multidisciplinary care teams, Non-CFTR modulator studies, and working with the CFF TDN data safety monitoring board (DSMB).

Expertise in Action
