About this trial
In this study, ANG003, a pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT; commonly called "enzymes"), is being investigated as a potential treatment for exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI). People with EPI due to Cystic Fibrosis (CF) may be eligible to participate in this study. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of ANG003 and see if it works as well compared to Creon, an approved PERT.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Male and female subjects aged ≥12 years from the date of informed consent in the US and aged ≥18 years in the EU
Confirmed and documented diagnosis of CF
Diagnosed with severe EPI as defined by a fecal elastase ≤50 μg/g stool measured at Screening by a central laboratory.
Subject has controlled EPI and taking a stable dose of pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) for 90 days prior to Screening.
Disqualifiers
History of fibrosing colonopathy or recurring distal intestinal obstructive syndrome within 6 months of Screening.
History of lung or liver transplant, listing for organ transplant or significant bowel resection within the last 6 months. Subjects with a history of resection that does not result in short bowel syndrome are eligible.
Known hypersensitivity or other severe reaction to any ingredient of the investigational product (IP), Creon, or the stool marker (FD&C Blue #2).
Any chronic diarrheal illness unrelated to pancreatic insufficiency, actively being treated for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, requiring use of naso-gastric, J-tube, G-tube, and/or enteral feeding for the study duration, Clostridioides difficile infection within 6 months prior to Screening, or severe constipation defined as <1 bowel movement/week.

Treatments tested in this trial
ANG003 Dose A
Drug160,000 u\* lipase, 105,000 u\* protease, and 11,600 u\* amylase per dose (\*units are comparable to United States Pharmacopeiea \[USP\])
ANG003 Dose B

Creon
DrugThe commercially available pPERT Creon will be the active comparator in the study. Subjects will be instructed to take Creon according to the package insert and PI direction.

Coefficient of Nitrogen Absorption (CNA)
Mean change from baseline for each treatment group amongst subjects with baseline CFA ≥80%.
% of subjects with GI symptoms
Mean change from baseline for each treatment group amongst subjects with baseline CFA ≥80%.
Cumulative stool weight
