NCT00414908

Brief Summary

This study assessed the effect of pancrelipase delayed release capsules on fat and nitrogen absorption in subjects with PEI due to Chronic Pancreatitis and Pancreatectomy. There was a run-in with a 5-day of single-blind placebo treatment, followed by a 7-day Double-blind period and a 6-month Open-Label Follow-up.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change of Coefficient of Fat Absorption (CFA) (%) Between Baseline and End of Double-blind (DB) Period.

    The CFA is calculated from fat intake and fat excretion : 100\*\[fat intake-fat excretion\]/fat intake. Higher values indicated a better response. Change is calculated as (DB CFA-Baseline CFA).

    End of double-blind period (5-7 days)

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Change of Coefficient of Nitrogen Absorption (CNA) (%) Between Baseline and End of Double-blind (DB) Period.

    End of double-blind period (5-7 days)

  • Change From Baseline of Stool Fat (g) Between Baseline and End of Double-blind (DB) Period.

    End of double-blind period (5-7 days)

  • Change From Baseline of Stool Nitrogen (g) Between Baseline and End of Double-blind (DB) Period.

    End of double-period (5-7 days)

  • Change of Stool Frequency Between Baseline and End of Double-blind (DB) Period

    End of double-period (5-7 days)

  • Abdominal Pain at the End of the Double-blind Period.

    End of double-period (5-7 days)

  • +2 more secondary outcomes

Other Outcomes (1)

  • Change of Stool Frequency Between "Original" Baseline and End of Open-label Period (OL)
