Safety & Efficacy Study of Viokase® 16 for the Correction of Steatorrhea

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study assesses the efficacy and safety of Viokase® 16 for the correction of steatorrhea (malabsorption of dietary fats) in patients with a history of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) due to chronic pancreatitis (CP) or pancreatectomy. This study is sponsored by Aptalis Pharma (formerly Axcan).

Clinical Trial Description

This study is a Phase III, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel, placebo-controlled study, to assess the efficacy and safety of Viokase® 16 for the correction of steatorrhea in patients with EPI due to CP or pancreatectomy. The study will include the following phases: screening phase (up to 10 days), wash-out phase (6 to 7 days), randomization phase (up to 10 days), and treatment phase (6 to 7 days).

In screening phase, patients will undergo screening procedures prior to entry into the study.

In wash-out phase, stool collection will be performed to allow determination of the baseline CFA.

In randomization phase, patients who qualify for the Treatment Phase (that is, patients who have a CFA% below 80%) will be randomized in the study.

In the treatment phase, patients will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio (Viokase® 16 or Placebo). In treatment phase, stool collection period will be performed to allow determination of the CFA% that will serve to assess the efficacy of Viokase® 16 for the correction of steatorrhea. Follow-up procedures will be scheduled 7 to 10 days after discharge. Patients who do not show abnormal findings, adverse events or concomitant medications during the treatment phase will be assessed via follow-up telephone call. Patients who show abnormal findings (physical examination, vital signs, clinical laboratory tests, adverse events, concomitant medications) during the treatment phase will complete a follow-up visit. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
