Brief Title: Pancreaze (Pancrelipase) for Patients With Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma With Cachexia and Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency
Official Title: Pancreatic-enzyme Replacement Therapy With Pancreaze (Pancrelipase) Delayed-release in Addition to Standard of Care for Borderline Resectable, Locally Advanced, and Advanced Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Patients (PANCAX-3) With Cachexia and Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency
Study ID: NCT04098237
Brief Summary: The objective of this study is to assess weight stability, functional changes, and quality of life when Pancreaze (pancrelipase) delayed-release 84,000-lipase units (capsules), for main meals, and 42,000-lipase units (capsules), for snacks, are added to standard of care in patients with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency due to pancreatic adenocarcinoma. This will be the first prospective study of this particular formulation in addition to standard of care in advanced pancreatic cancer patients. We will treat 40 consecutive patients with borderline resectable, locally advanced and advanced pancreatic cancer patients who present with weight loss and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency with this advanced formulation of Pancreaze.
