Active clinical trials for "Steatorrhea"

The study investigates the effect of pancreatic enzymes on steatorrhea in HIV patients.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of PANCREASE MT (pancrelipase microtablets) to improve steatorrhea (excessive excretion of fat in feces) in infants and toddlers with cystic fibrosis who have pancreatic insufficiency, and to assess whether the consistency of the microtablets is acceptable for swallowing in infants and toddlers

The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness and safety of oral pancrelipase MT in the treatment of adult and pediatric/adolescent cystic fibrosis (CF) patients with clinical symptoms of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI).

This study by Aptalis (formerly Axcan) assesses the efficacy and safety of Panzytrat® 25,000 compared to Kreon® 25,000 in the control of steatorrhea in participants with cystic fibrosis (CF) and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI).

This study assesses the efficacy and safety of Viokase® 16 for the correction of steatorrhea (malabsorption of dietary fats) in patients with a history of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) due to chronic pancreatitis (CP) or pancreatectomy. This study is sponsored by Aptalis Pharma (formerly Axcan).

Results have indicated that some dietary fibers increase fecal fat excretion and particularly viscous fibers suppress appetite sensation and reduce energy intake. Both these effects may contribute to body weight management. Aim: The aim of the study is to investigate the potential of 3-weeks daily intake of potato pulp (FiberBind), rhamnogalacturonan I isolated potato fiber (RG-I) vs. a low-fiber control (placebo) on satiety and fecal fat excretion in healthy adults. Furthermore, a number of secondary endpoints are investigated.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the enzyme activity and safety of pancrelipase in patients with severe Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI)

*The purpose of this study is to develop a more accurate, reliable, specific and more acceptable alternative clinical test to the 72-hour stool and diet collection for quantifying fat malabsorption in people with CF and pancreatic insufficiency.

The great majority of infants formula contain fats exclusively from vegetable oil. Nevertheless, the use of both vegetable and dairy lipids is on a real interest to obtain an infant formula closer to the nutritional composition of maternal milk.
