Frequently asked questions about Creon

What is Creon used for?

Creon is used to treat pancreatic exocrine insufficiency due to cystic fibrosis. It is a pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy taken to help the body digest fats in people whose pancreas does not produce enough digestive enzymes. It is studied in patients 12 years of age and older with this condition.

Who makes Creon?

Creon is developed and manufactured by Abbott Laboratories, which trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker ABT. Abbott is the company behind the Creon brand and its clinical development program in pancreatic exocrine insufficiency.

What phase is Creon in?

Creon has been evaluated in Phase 3 clinical development. Its Phase 3 program includes one completed trial, and no trials are currently active. The studies enrolled a total of 41 participants across the program.

What clinical trials is Creon in?

Creon has been studied in the Phase 3 trial NCT02137382, a double-blind, randomized, multicenter, crossover study comparing Creon N and Creon on fat digestion in subjects 12 years of age and older with pancreatic exocrine insufficiency due to cystic fibrosis. The trial completed with 41 participants enrolled in Hungary and Spain.

Is Creon the same as Creon N?

Creon is also written as Creon (DR/GR) and Creon. The Phase 3 trial NCT02137382 compared Creon N with Creon, so the two names refer to formulations evaluated side by side in that study of fat digestion in cystic fibrosis-related pancreatic exocrine insufficiency.

How was the Creon Phase 3 trial designed?

The Phase 3 trial NCT02137382 was a double-blind, randomized, controlled, multicenter crossover study. It compared Creon N and Creon for their effect on fat digestion in participants 12 years of age and older with pancreatic exocrine insufficiency due to cystic fibrosis, and it enrolled 41 subjects in Hungary and Spain.
