What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • PancrelipaseDrug

    Also called Lipacreon

Study groups in NCT01427712

Receives: Drug: Pancrelipase

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Patients With Adverse Drug Reaction

    An adverse event (AE) was defined as any unfavourable or unintended disease, or symptom or sign of such a disease, or abnormal laboratory finding that occurred in a patient who received Lipacreon, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. Also, an AE for which the relationship with Lipacreon could not be ruled out was regarded as an adverse drug reaction (ADR).

    1. Related : There is a temporal relationship between the use of the medicinal product and the onset of an AE, or a relapse with readministration,where other factors are less likely to be involved.
    2. Relationship cannot be ruled out : There are other potential factors although there is a temporal relationship between the use of the medicinal product and the onset of an AE

    Measured: From the start of Lipacreon treatment to the end of the observation period or discontinuation. Approximately 7 years in the study completers (From date of dosage start, up to 7 years).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cystic Fibrosis and Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency, run by Mylan Inc. at 21 sites in Japan.

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 1 inclusion and 2 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 10 Jun 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 21 sites in Japan. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 10 Jun 2022). 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 Adverse Drug Reaction (time frame: From the start of Lipacreon treatment to the end of the observation period or discontinuation. Approximately 7 years in the study completers (From date of dosage start, up to 7 years).). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 10 Jun 2022.
