    • documented CF-causing cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) mutations and clinical features of CF.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • BMI percentile for age less than 10% in participants less than 18 years of age.
  • Participant has a history of any of the following gastrointestinal disorders (acute pancreatitis within 6 months prior to Visit 2, chronic pancreatitis, fibrosing colonopathy, distal intestinal obstruction syndrome (DIOS) within 6 months prior to Visit 2, C. difficile infection within 6 months prior to Visit 2, celiac disease, gastric bypass or partial/total gastrectomy, Crohn's disease or other inflammatory bowel disease, small bowel surgery (other than minor resection due to meconium ileus without resultant malabsorption syndrome), or any type of malignancy involving the digestive tract in the last 5 years).
  • Participant has a history of any clinically significant endocrine, respiratory (except mild asthma or CF related lung disease), neurological, cardiac, renal, hepatic (including Hepatitis B or C), hematologic or psychiatric disease or disorder, or any other uncontrolled medical illness which might limit participation in or completion of the study.
  • Participant requires concomitant treatment with any medication not allowed by the protocol or a prohibited medication is expected to be needed during the study.
  • Participant is currently receiving nutritional supplementation via tube feeding (nasogastric, gastrostomy, jejunostomy).
  • Participant has clinically significant (as per Investigator's judgment) abnormalities in clinical chemistry, hematology, or urinalysis (excluding findings that are associated with CF) such as aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels >= 3 times the upper limit of normal values, or clinically significant (investigator opinion) elevation of uric acid.

Arm Description

After receiving open-label currently marketed Creon delayed release (Creon DR) capsules during a pre-randomization period, participants receive double-blind Creon DR capsules manufactured by modernized process pellets (Creon MP) in treatment period 1, followed by double-blind Creon DR capsules in treatment period 2. Participants also receive open-label currently marketed Creon DR for an interval of up to 28 days between periods 1 and 2, and during a 30-day follow-up period after period 2.

After receiving open-label currently marketed Creon DR capsules during a pre-randomization period, participants receive double-blind Creon DR capsules in treatment period 1, followed by double-blind Creon MP in treatment period 2. Participants also receive open-label currently marketed Creon DR for an interval of up to 28 days between periods 1 and 2, and during a 30-day follow-up period after period 2.

After receiving open-label currently marketed Creon DR capsules during a pre-randomization period, participants receive double-blind Creon DR capsules manufactured at an alternate active pharmaceutical ingredient site (Creon AAPIS) in treatment period 1, followed by double-blind Creon DR capsules in treatment period 2.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Part 1 Coefficient of Fat Absorption (CFA)
CFA is calculated as 100*[fat intake - fat excretion]/fat intake. Fat intake was determined from fat content of food consumed on Day 3, 4, 5 of each treatment period. Fat excretion was determined from the content in the stool(s) collected after the first blue dyed stool (exclusive) following administration of the first blue dye marker (day 2) and until the first dyed stool (inclusive) following administration of the second blue dye marker (day 5) during each treatment period.
Part 2 Coefficient of Fat Absorption (CFA)
CFA is calculated as 100*[fat intake - fat excretion]/fat intake. Fat intake was determined from fat content of food consumed on Day 3, 4, 5 of each treatment period. Fat excretion was determined from the content in the stool(s) collected after the first blue dyed stool (exclusive) following administration of the first blue dye marker (day 2) and until the first dyed stool (inclusive) following administration of the second blue dye marker (day 5) during each treatment period.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Coefficient of Nitrogen Absorption (CNA)
The CNA is calculated as 100*[nitrogen intake - nitrogen excretion]/nitrogen intake. Nitrogen intake was determined from protein content of food consumed on Day 3, 4, 5 of each treatment period. Nitrogen excretion was determined from the content in the stool(s) collected after the first blue dyed stool (exclusive) following administration of the first blue dye marker (day 2) and until the first dyed stool (inclusive) following administration of the second blue dye marker (day 5) during each treatment period.
Stool Fat
Total amount of fat excreted during the stool collection period. Stool fat was determined from the stool fat in the stool(s) collected after the first blue dyed stool (exclusive) following administration of the first blue dye marker (day 2) and until the first dyed stool (inclusive) following administration of the second blue dye marker (day 5) during each treatment period.
Stool Weight
Stool weight was determined from the net weight of the stool samples collected after the first blue dyed stool (exclusive) following administration of the first blue dye marker (day 2) and until the first dyed stool (inclusive) following administration of the second blue dye marker (day 5) during each treatment period.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Part 1 is a study to demonstrate that Creon (pancrelipase) delayed release (DR) capsules manufactured with a modernized process (MP) is non-inferior to currently marketed pancrelipase DR capsules in participants with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) due to cystic fibrosis (CF), as measured by coefficient of fat absorption (CFA). Part 2 is a study to demonstrate that Creon (pancrelipase) manufactured with an alternate active pharmaceutical ingredient site (AAPIS) is non-inferior to currently marketed active control (Creon®) in participants with EPI due to CF, as measured by CFA. Safety is evaluated in each part.
