Study summary

This is a Phase IIa study sponsored by AzurRx SAS and Syneos Health is a local representative sponsor and involves testing of a new medication for the compensation of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) caused by chronic pacreatitis (CP) and/or distal pancreatectomy. The new medication is called MS1819 Spray Dried (MS1819-SD) which is a lipase produced by the LIP2 gene of Yarrowia lipolytica using recombinant DNA technology.

The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the safety of escalating doses of study drug MS1819-SD in people with chronic pancreatitis. This enzyme has demonstrated an appropriate profile to compensate the pancreatic lipase (enzyme) deficiency that is common with CP patients. The deficiency in this enzyme can be responsible of greasy diarrhea, fecal urge and weight loss.

The design of the study is open-label, meaning that all eligible participants will receive the study drug MS1819-SD. The MS1819-SD dose will increase throughout the study during dose escalation visits in each treatment period; study includes a total of four treatment periods.

The total duration of the MS1819-SD treatment phase is of 48-60 days, The total duration of patient participation in the study is of 74-93 days.

Approximately twelve patients will be enrolled in this study.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(10)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Washout period

A planned gap after a treatment, so that its effects can lessen before the study treatment or a study assessment. Ask the study team and the doctor who prescribed it before changing any medicine.

Postmenopausal

Periods have stopped for good: usually no period for 12 months in a row without another medical reason, sometimes confirmed by a blood test (FSH).

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Investigate safety of escalating doses of MS1819-SD as measured by number of participants with adverse events including clinical or laboratory abnormalities

    Safety variables will be monitored by physical examination with particular attention paid to immunoallergic events and digestive symptomatology. In addition, laboratory tests will include haematology and biochemistry.

    Time frame: 60 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. Investigate the efficacy of MS1819-SD in patients by the Coefficient of Fat Absorption change from baseline

    The primary efficacy endpoint is the Coefficient Fat Absorption (CFA) change from baseline.The secondary efficacy endpoints are the number of daily evacuations per day, the consistency of stools assessed by the Bristol scale (from Type 1 to Type 7) and the weight of stools during the stool collection period.

    Time frame: 60 days

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 28, 2018, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
