What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests Creon, a medication that helps with digestion by providing necessary enzymes, in adults with cystic fibrosis or chronic pancreatitis. These patients have trouble digesting food because their pancreas doesn't produce enough enzymes. Creon works by releasing these enzymes in the stomach to aid in breaking down food.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.
