Abstract
In 2006, the US FDA issued a 'Guidance for Industry' regarding submission of New Drug Applications for pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) products. Five oral delayed-release PERT products have been approved by the FDA, and several others are under development and/ or evaluation for New Drug Application submission. We present in this paper recommendations of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Therapeutics Development Network and Data Safety Monitoring Board regarding study design considerations for evaluating PERT products in patients with CF. Careful attention to study design and accuracy of the outcome measures has confirmed our understanding of the efficacy and safety of PERT for the treatment of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency of CF.Entities:
