Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary objective of this clinical trial is to demonstrate non-inferiority clinical development of pancreatic enzymes from Laboratory Bergamo (Norzyme ®) in relation to pancreatic enzymes from Solvay Pharmaceuticals (Creon ®), by comparing the average amount of lipids in the feces of 72 hours after 14 days of treatment with each drug.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

As a secondary objective will be assessed the following parameters:

* Incidence of abdominal pain;
* Frequency of flatus;
* Frequency of bowel movements during the treatment;
* Consistency of stools during treatment;
* Amount of medication used among the treatments. All these parameters will be measured based on reports of patients in a specific diary.
