Last Updated: 2014-05-09

Results Overview

Recruitment status

COMPLETED

Study phase

PHASE3

Target enrollment

Participant Flow

The initial (screening) dose of PANCREASE MT was based on the average dose of pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) taken for the 3 days immediately before entry into the study in combination with a high-fat diet. This PERT was continued until all screening test results were received and the subject met all inclusion/exclusion criteria.
