A Phase 2 Study Evaluating Safety and Tolerability of RCT2100 (CFTR mRNA) in Healthy Participants and in Participants With CF

January 14, 2026 updated by: ReCode Therapeutics

A Phase 1/2, Multicenter Study Evaluating the Safety, Tolerability, and Biodistribution of RCT2100 With Single-Ascending Doses in Healthy Participants and Multiple-Ascending Doses and Proof-of-Concept in Participants With Cystic Fibrosis

This is the first-in-human study with RCT2100 and is designed to provide safety and tolerability data for future clinical studies.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This is a multi-part study to assess the safety, tolerability, and biodistribution of a single ascending dose of inhaled RCT2100 administered via nebulizer to healthy participants (Part 1), the safety and tolerability of multiple-ascending doses of inhaled RCT2100 administered to participants with CF (Part 2), and the safety and tolerability of RCT2100 co-administered with ivacaftor in participants with CF (Part 3).

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Description

Part 1 Major Inclusion Criteria:
