Brief Summary

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

This study is a 2-part open-label, randomized, crossover, multicenter, non-therapeutic Phase II study to investigate the presence of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI) in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and to investigate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of EPANOVA® (omega-3 carboxylic acids) and omega-3-acid ethyl esters (OMACOR®, Abbott Healthcare Products Ltd) following a single oral dose in patients with different degrees of PEI.
