| NCT02849704 | Fat Malabsorption in Chronic Pancreatitis | PHASE2 | COMPLETED | 48 | — | — | Oct 13, 2016 | Nov 1, 2017 | May 3, 2019 | 1 | United States |
The fat absorption pattern in CP subjects will be compared with healthy controls. Mean HA AUC will be calculated for the CP subjects and the healthy controls and compared to determine whether there is a difference in the fat absorption between the two groups.
The fat absorption pattern in CP subjects will be compared with healthy controls. Mean coefficient of fat absorption (% dietary fat absorbed) will be calculated for the CP subjects and the healthy controls and compared to determine whether there is a difference in the fat absorption between the two groups.
The energy absorption pattern in CP subjects will be compared with healthy controls. Mean calories per gram of stool will be calculated for the CP subjects and the healthy controls and compared to determine whether there is a difference in the stool energy loss between the two groups.

| Chronic Pancreatitis (CP) Subjects | EXPERIMENTAL | CP subjects will fast for 12 hours prior to the malabsorption blood test (MBT) testing, consume the MBT breakfast meal following this fast, have blood drawn (MBT, vitamins A, D, E and K, zinc, selenium, and prealbumin) prior to MBT breakfast consumption and each hour for 8 hours after consumption, consume a low-fat study lunch, eat a moderate fat diet for 4 days during home diet and stool collection, maintain a 3-day food record, collect stool over 72 hours, have body size and composition assessment, complete quality of life questionnaires, home environment and health questionnaires, and adverse events diary. Subjects will take Creon36™ for 9 days. Subjects will have two study visits, one before and one after treatment initiation with Creon36™. Both visits will be identical with the exception of completion of questionnaires and fecal elastase assessment (only Visit 1). |
| Healthy Controls | NO_INTERVENTION | Healthy controls will fast for 12 hours prior to the malabsorption blood test (MBT) testing, consume the MBT breakfast meal following this fast, have blood drawn (MBT, vitamins A, D, E and K, zinc, selenium, and prealbumin) prior to MBT breakfast consumption and each hour for 8 hours after consumption, consume a low-fat study lunch, eat a moderate fat diet for 4 days during home diet and stool collection, maintain a 3-day food record, collect stool over 72 hours, have body size and composition assessment, complete quality of life questionnaires, home environment and health questionnaires, and adverse events diary. Controls will only have 1 study visit and receive no intervention. |

| Creon36™ | DRUG | Creon36™ delayed-release capsules, a pancreatic enzyme preparation, is an FDA approved medication. Subjects with chronic pancreatitis (CP) will take Creon36™ for nine days, at a daily dose of 72,000 lipase units per meal (two capsules) and 36,000 units per snack (one capsule), with each capsule containing 36,000 lipase units. Subjects will take Creon36™ for three days prior to Visit 2, the day of Visit 2 and then for five days after the visit until they have completed stool collections. |
Inclusion Criteria (CP): * Chronic pancreatitis diagnosis by gastroenterologist. Participants with CP will be characterized based on the TIGAR-O (toxic, genetic, autoimmune, recurrent, obstructive) etiology system, on pancreatic morphology (Cambridge criteria) when available, and on physiological s...
