Active clinical trials for "Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency"

The purpose of this Randomized, Double-blind, Multicenter, Two-period Crossover Study is to Assess the Efficacy and Tolerability of Burlulipase (NM-BL) in Patients with Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency due to Cystic Fibrosis

This is an open-label study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Aptalis' (formerly Eurand) pancreatic enzyme product (PEP) microtabs in pediatric participants under age 7 with cystic fibrosis (CF) and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI).

This study will assess the safety and tolerability of pancrelipase delayed release capsules in subjects up to 6 years of age with Pancreatic Exocrine Insufficiency (PEI) due to Cystic Fibrosis.

The primary efficacy objective of this study is to evaluate the difference in coefficient of fat absorption (CFA) of participants treated with high dose EUR-1008 (APT-1008) versus low dose of EUR-1008 (APT-1008) in the treatment of signs and symptoms of malabsorption in participants with EPI associated with CP. This study is sponsored by Aptalis Pharma (formerly Eurand).

This study will assess the effect of pancrelipase delayed release 12,000 unit capsules on fat and nitrogen absorption in subjects 7 - 11 with pancreatic exocrine insufficiency due to Cystic Fibrosis.

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.

This is a clinical trial with a cross over design investigating the effect of the proton pump inhibitor omeprazole on fat malabsorption in subjects with cystic fibrosis and pancreatic insufficiency. Participants will be randomized to receive either omeprazole or placebo for 28 days, then cross over and receive omeprazole or placebo for another 28 days. Markers of fat absorption will be measured after each treatment course.

Treatment of exocrine insufficiency (EPI) consists of pancreatic enzyme replacement according to the fat intake. Prescribing a sufficient dose of pancreatic enzymes is mandatory for the treatment to be effective. In addition, consultation of a specialized dietician is pivotal to educate patients about the proper use of pancreatic enzymes. However, based on a recent prospective survey in the Netherlands amongst chronic pancreatitis patients, it seems that enzymes are underused and a dietician is seldom consulted. The aim of this study is to assess if there is a difference in efficacy of pancreatic enzymes in a self-dosage regimen after extensive patient-education in comparison to the standard treatment for patients with EPI.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of Ultrase® MT20 compared to placebo for the correction of fat and protein malabsorption in participants with cystic fibrosis (CF) and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI). This study is sponsored by Aptalis Pharma (formerly Axcan).

This study will provide efficacy data for Creon 40,000 in CP subjects as well as long-term safety data. During the long-term treatment with Creon 40,000 nutritional parameters will be assessed and correlated with CFA.
