Participant Flow

Participants were enrolled at Vanderbilt University Medical Center from September 2022 through March 2024. Subjects were eligible based on reduced pancreas volume as determined through their prior participation in MAP-T1D (IRB 130833).

Eleven (11) participants were enrolled to achieve completion goal of ten (10). One subject withdrew at end of drug period A due to failed OGTT and unwillingness to continue.

Measure
CREON, Then Placebo
CREON is a pancreatic enzyme replacement CREON: The study will enroll 6-10 adult subjects with T1D who will receive both pancreatic enzyme replacement (CREON) or placebo each for 7 days in a random order. The effect of the intervention will be monitored by continuous glucose monitoring, diet recording, capsule counts, a mixed-meal tolerance test, and a survey to assess symptoms of PEI. This study design will allow for estimation of the effect of pancreatic enzyme replacement on the measured parameters.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: through study completion (4-5 weeks)

Population: This analysis population is the 10 participants who completed both drug periods of the study. Five participants received CREON, then placebo, and the other five received placebo, then CREON.

We will use the pancreatic exocrine insufficiency questionnaire (PEI-Q) to quantitate symptoms of PEI and their relative change from baseline to after treatment with placebo and Creon in a random order. Minimum score is 0, and maximum score is 4. Higher scores correlate to worse outcome, i.e., increased abdominal symptoms and bowel movement symptoms.
