What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Patients With at Least One Treatment Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE)

    Treatment Emergent Adverse Events are defined as adverse events started at or after the first administration of study drug and include those events started prior to the first administration but which worsened after the first intake.

    Measured: 10 Days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Stool Fat (% Fat)

    The stool fat content was calculated as percent fat of dry solid weight per bowel movement. Stool fat per patient was derived as mean over three bowel movements sampled (i.e. one sample per day).

    Measured: Last 3 days in a 10-day treatment period

  2. Fat Intake (g)

    The mean daily fat intake was determined as the average of daily fat intake over a 3-day period.

    Measured: Last 3 days in a 10-day treatment period

  3. Total Calorie Intake (kcal)

    The total calorie intake was determined as the average of total calorie of daily food intake intake over a 3-day period.

    Measured: Last 3 days in a 10-day treatment period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Pancrelipase Delayed Release in people with Cystic Fibrosis and Pancreatic Exocrine Insufficiency, run by Solvay Pharmaceuticals at 12 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Nov 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Oct 2010). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Patients With at Least One Treatment Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) (time frame: 10 Days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00775528, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Nov 2010.
