About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Cystic Fibrosis focused on measuring cystic fibrosis, pancreatic insufficiency, bucelipase alfa, bile salt stimulating lipase, BSSL, coefficient of fat absorption

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with cystic fibrosis and pancreatic insufficiency who are able to refrain from their ongoing pancreatic enzyme treatment for a period of 7 days and are able to produce stools >= 5 times per week

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

rhBSSL

Arm Description

170 mg rhBSSL three times daily for 5 to 6 consecutive days

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

The Absolute Difference Between Baseline and Treatment Coefficient of Fat Absorption (CFA)
The absolute difference between baseline and treatment CFA, i.e. the change from the baseline level. CFA was calculated as follows 100 x ((fat consumed - fat excreted)/fat consumed). Fat consumed was determined from the weight of fat of the dietary intake during a 72 hour period during the final 3 days of the baseline and treatment period. Fat excreted was determined from stool collected during the 72-hour periods and analyzed for fat using the Van de Kamer method. The unit of CFA is %

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy in patients with cystic fibrosis and pancreatic insufficiency following treatment with BSSL
Detailed Description
In this open study, patients will enter a baseline period of 6 days where the pancreatic enzyme therapy will be discontinued and a standard diet given. After the baseline period, patients will enter a treatment period of 6 days where a fixed dose of BSSL will be administered. The primary efficacy measurements will be made by collecting stool during the last three days of each period.
