Experimental
Experimental
MS1819 2240 mg/day (3 weeks) then PERT pre-study dose (3 weeks)
PERT pre-study dose(3 weeks) then MS1819 2240 mg/day (3 weeks)
Patients in arm will further be randomized to receive either the sequence consisting of MS1819 2240 mg/day for 3 weeks followed by PERT for another 3 weeks. During the PERT treatment period the patients will take their stable pre-study PERT dose.
