Evaluation of the Safety and Efficacy of Pancrecarb® MS-16 in Cystic Fibrosis

Summary

The primary objective of this study is to determine if PANCRECARB® MS-16 (pancrelipase) is safe and effective in reducing steatorrhea (as measured by 72-hour stool fat determinations) in children and adults with cystic fibrosis and pancreatic insufficiency.
