The fat absorption pattern in CP subjects before and after treatment with Creon36™ will be compared. Mean HA AUC will be calculated for the CP subjects before and after the medication and compared to determine whether there is a difference in the fat absorption in the same subjects between the two time points.

The fat absorption pattern in CP subjects before and after treatment with Creon36™ will be compared. The % of dietary fat absorbed will be calculated for the CP subjects before and after the medication and compared to determine whether there is a difference in the fat absorption in the same subjects between the two time points.

Healthy controls will fast for 12 hours prior to the malabsorption blood test (MBT) testing, consume the MBT breakfast meal following this fast, have blood drawn (MBT, vitamins A, D, E and K, zinc, selenium, and prealbumin) prior to MBT breakfast consumption and each hour for 8 hours after consumption, consume a low-fat study lunch, eat a moderate fat diet for 4 days during home diet and stool collection, maintain a 3-day food record, collect stool over 72 hours, have body size and composition assessment, complete quality of life questionnaires, home environment and health questionnaires, and adverse events diary. Controls will only have 1 study visit and receive no intervention.

Total of all reporting groups

Two healthy subjects were found after completion of assessments to have chronic illnesses not initially disclosed upon enrollment. Since they did not meet original inclusion criteria, they were dropped from analysis.

Body Mass Index

Two healthy subjects were found after completion of assessments to have chronic illnesses not initially disclosed upon enrollment. Since they did not meet original inclusion criteria, they were dropped from analysis.

This measure was only baseline for the CP group.

Two healthy subjects were found after completion of assessments to have chronic illnesses not initially disclosed upon enrollment. Since they did not meet original inclusion criteria, they were dropped from analysis.

Four subjects with CP did not have adequate stool collection (n=2) or fat intake (n=2) for a valid CFA test.

2 healthy subjects were found after assessment to have chronic illnesses not initially disclosed; they were dropped from analysis. 3 subjects were excluded from analysis due to uncertainty in test result (high variability in test runs). 1 subject with CP was excluded due to uncertainty, 2 were excluded due to inadequate stool collection.

Area under the curve for heptadecanoic acid

Of the subjects with CP, one did not complete the study meal for a valid test, and one was a significant outlier. Of the healthy subjects, two were deemed not healthy as previously explained, and two did not complete the study meal for a valid test.

Healthy controls will fast for 12 hours prior to the malabsorption blood test (MBT) testing, consume the MBT breakfast meal following this fast, have blood drawn (MBT, vitamins A, D, E and K, zinc, selenium, and prealbumin) prior to MBT breakfast consumption and each hour for 8 hours after consumption, consume a low-fat study lunch, eat a moderate fat diet for 4 days during home diet and stool collection, maintain a 3-day food record, collect stool over 72 hours, have body size and composition assessment, complete quality of life questionnaires, home environment and health questionnaires, and adverse events diary. Controls will only have 1 study visit and receive no intervention.

The fat absorption pattern in CP subjects will be compared with healthy controls. Mean coefficient of fat absorption (% dietary fat absorbed) will be calculated for the CP subjects and the healthy controls and compared to determine whether there is a difference in the fat absorption between the two groups.

Four subjects with CP were excluded; two did not consume enough fat for a valid test, one subject did not have adequate stool for analysis, and one subject was excluded due to an error in the lab processing stool. Of the 24 healthy controls, two were excluded from the analysis due to undisclosed chronic disease.

The energy absorption pattern in CP subjects will be compared with healthy controls. Mean calories per gram of stool will be calculated for the CP subjects and the healthy controls and compared to determine whether there is a difference in the stool energy loss between the two groups.

Three subjects with CP were excluded; two did not consume enough fat for a valid test, one subject did not have adequate stool for analysis. Of the 24 healthy controls, two were excluded from the analysis due to undisclosed chronic disease, one did not provide adequate stool for analysis, and two results failed internal the validation protocol.

The energy absorption pattern in CP subjects before and after treatment with Creon36™ will be compared. Calories per gram of stool will be calculated for the CP subjects before and after the medication and compared to determine whether there is a difference in the stool energy loss in the same subjects between the two time points.

Two subjects were excluded from follow-up due to inadequate stool provision. Two subjects were excluded due to failing the internal validation protocol.

The fat absorption pattern in CP subjects before and after treatment with Creon36™ will be compared. Mean HA AUC will be calculated for the CP subjects before and after the medication and compared to determine whether there is a difference in the fat absorption in the same subjects between the two time points.

For this paired analysis, twenty subjects had valid tests at both time points. Two subjects were excluded from baseline; one did not complete the study meal for a valid test, and one was a significant outlier calling into question the validity of the test. Two subjects were excluded from follow-up, as they did not complete the study meal or test.

The fat absorption pattern in CP subjects before and after treatment with Creon36™ will be compared. The % of dietary fat absorbed will be calculated for the CP subjects before and after the medication and compared to determine whether there is a difference in the fat absorption in the same subjects between the two time points.

Two subjects were excluded from baseline due to inadequate dietary fat intake for a valid test, and one was excluded for inadequate stool provision. Three subjects were excluded at follow up for inadequate dietary information and stool provision. One subject was excluded from follow up due to lab error.

Healthy controls will fast for 12 hours prior to the malabsorption blood test (MBT) testing, consume the MBT breakfast meal following this fast, have blood drawn (MBT, vitamins A, D, E and K, zinc, selenium, and prealbumin) prior to MBT breakfast consumption and each hour for 8 hours after consumption, consume a low-fat study lunch, eat a moderate fat diet for 4 days during home diet and stool collection, maintain a 3-day food record, collect stool over 72 hours, have body size and composition assessment, complete quality of life questionnaires, home environment and health questionnaires, and adverse events diary.
