Brief Summary

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

This is a study in participants with Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI) due to pancreatic cancer. This study will include resected participants who are post pancreatic cancer surgery, and an additional cohort in non-resected participants.

Resected Participants Receiving Low Dose (12,000/6,000 units lipase) Pancrelipase

Resected participants (surgery to remove pancreatic cancer) will first be given low dose pancrelipase. Low dose is defined as 12,000 USP units (lipase) with meals and 6000 U with snacks. At Weeks 1, 5, or 9, participants will be evaluated, and those who meet criteria for dose increase will be given high dose pancrelipase. High dose is defined as 72,000 U with meals and 36,000 U with snacks. All participants will receive placebo as needed to keep the number of pills the same in each group and for blinding.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Pancrelipase

Intervention Type DRUG

Pancrelipase is administered orally as capsules with a meal or snack

Placebo

Intervention Type DRUG

Placebo is administered orally as capsules with a meal or snack

Resected Participants Receiving High Dose (72,000/36,000 units lipase) Pancrelipase

Resected participants (surgery to remove pancreatic cancer) will receive and continue on high dose pancrelipase throughout the study. High dose is defined as 72,000 USP units (lipase) with meals and 36,000 U with snacks. All participants will receive placebo as needed to keep the number of pills the same in each group and for blinding.

Non-Resected Participants Receiving High Dose (72,000/36,000 units lipase) Pancrelipase

Non-resected participants (those who did not have surgery to remove pancreatic cancer) will receive high dose pancrelipase throughout the study in an open-label cohort. High dose is defined as 72,000 USP units (lipase) with meals and 36,000 U with snacks.
