Study Summary

The objective of this study is to evaluate the malabsorption blood test (MBT), stool coefficient of fat absorption (CFA) and stool bomb calorimetry (BC) methods as potential screening or diagnostic tests for reduced exocrine pancreatic function or pancreatic insufficiency (RPF/PI). A further objective is to determine the test responses before and after pancreatic enzyme medication administration (Creon36™) in the patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP).

Primary Outcome

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.
