Brief Summary

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

This study aims to investigate the impact of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency on the glucose profile and pancreatic and gastrointestinal endocrine hormones in patients with chronic pancreatitis through pancreatic enzyme intervention in a reverse manner.

The primary objective is to observe the changes in glucose profile following pancreatic enzyme intervention in patients with chronic pancreatitis complicated by exocrine insufficiency and normal glucose metabolism.

The secondary objective is to observe the changes in pancreatic endocrine and exocrine functions and gastrointestinal endocrine hormone levels following pancreatic enzyme intervention in patients with chronic pancreatitis complicated by exocrine insufficiency and normal glucose metabolism.

Creon(Pancreatin Enteric-coated Capsules)

For newly diagnosed patients with chronic pancreatitis combined with exocrine insufficiency, administer the Creon capsules and take them regularly for 3 months.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Creon(Pancreatin Enteric-coated Capsules)

Intervention Type DRUG

This product is a mixture of various enzymes extracted from pig pancreas, mainly including trypsin, pancreatic lipase and pancreatic amylase.Take 1 tablet (0.3g) during meals, 3 times a day.0.3 grams is equivalent to 20,000 European Pharmacopoeia units of pancreatic lipase, 16,000 European Pharmacopoeia units of pancreatic amylase, and 1,200 European Pharmacopoeia units of pancreatic protease.
