Background Pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI) often occurs following pancreatic surgery. Aim To demonstrate the superior efficacy of pancreatin 25000 minimicrospheres (Creon 25000 MMS; 915 capsules/day) over placebo in treating PEI after pancreatic resection. Methods A 1-week, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicentre study with a 1-year, open-label extension (OLE). Subjects 18years old with PEI after pancreatic resection, defined as baseline coefficient of fat absorption (CFA) <80%, were randomised to oral pancreatin or placebo (915 capsules/day: 3 with main meals, 2 with snacks). In the OLE, all subjects received pancreatin. The primary efficacy measure was least squares mean CFA change from baseline to end of double-blind treatment (ancova). Results All 58 subjects randomised (32 pancreatin, 26 placebo) completed double-blind treatment and entered the OLE; 51 completed the OLE. The least squares mean CFA change in the double-blind phase was significantly greater with pancreatin vs. placebo: 21.4% (95% CI: 13.7, 29.2) vs. 4.2% (12.8, 4.5); difference 25.6% (13.9, 37.3), P<0.001. The mean +/- s.d. CFA increased from 53.6 +/- 20.6% at baseline to 78.4 +/- 20.7% at OLE end (P<0.001). Treatment-emergent adverse events occurred in 37.5% subjects on pancreatin and 26.9% on placebo during double-blind treatment, with flatulence being the most common (pancreatin 12.5%, placebo 7.7%). Only two subjects discontinued due to treatment-emergent adverse events, both during the OLE. Conclusions This study demonstrates superior efficacy of pancreatin 25000 over placebo in patients with PEI after pancreatic surgery, measured by change in CFA. Pancreatin was generally well tolerated at the high dose administered (EudraCT registration number: 2005-004854-29).
