New search has been performed

A search of the Cochrane Cystic Fibrosis and Genetic Disorders Review Group's Cystic Fibrosis Trials Register identified two references potentially eligible to be included in this review. One was an additional reference (abstract) to an already included study (Bieli 2017). The second was to a new study included at this update (Zeren 2019).

Three additional studies were identified through the clinicaltrials.gov search, these studies are yet to be published and so are included within the awaiting classification section of this review.
