Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate the effect of Creon 25000 versus placebo on fat digestion as measured by the 13C Mixed Triglycerides Breath Test (MTBT) in patients with pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM).;Secondary Objective: Secondary Objectives: To assess the effect of Creon on nutritional parameters (fat soluble vitamins (D and E), retinol-binding protein, albumin, pre-albumin, magnesium, calcium), HbA1c, quality of life assessed via a questionnaire (Gastrointestinal-Quality of Life Index, GIQLI), Clinical Global Impression of Disease Symptoms, clinical symptomatology (stool frequency, stool consistency, abdominal pain, flatulence), and use of anti-diabetic medication. Safety and Tolerability Objectives: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of Creon in type 2 DM patients with PEI by collecting treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE), vital signs (incl. body weight and BMI), physical examination and routine safety laboratory.;Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy parameter will be the change from baseline to the end of the double-blind treatment in the 6-hour 13CO2?CRR as measured by the 13C MTBT.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Change from baseline after 12 weeks of treatment

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): ? nutritional parameters (fat soluble vitamins (D and E), retinol-binding protein, albumin, pre-albumin, magnesium and calcium), ? HbA1c, ? quality of life (QoL) assessed via a questionnaire (GIQLI), ? Clinical Global Impression (CGI) of Disease Symptoms, ? clinical symptomatology (stool frequency, stool consistency, abdominal pain, and flatulence), ? Use of anti-diabetic medication (insulin and, if applicable, oral anti-diabetic medication). The safety and tolerability data collected during this study are vital signs, height, weight and BMI, safety laboratory values and adverse events.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Secondary efficacy parameters are evaluated by the change from baseline to 12 week of treatment. Safety parameters are assessed throughout the study.
