Study Summary

This project uses the Malabsorption Blood Test (MBT) to identify patients with recurrent acute or chronic pancreatitis who have mild to moderate exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. A subgroup of patients who have response to pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy will enter a randomized, placebo-controlled pilot clinical trial for 8 weeks to identify improvements in quality of life (QOL).

Primary Outcome

The primary outcome of the first phase of the study will be the prevalence of responders to PERT by assessing Heptadecanoic Acid absorption following 5-days of PERT therapy compared to baseline (no PERT therapy). This will be measured by a positive area under the curve of the difference between absorption curves for Triheptadecanoic Acid and Pentadecanoic Acid.
