New enzyme could help digest food for those with pancreatic problems
NCT ID NCT07559175
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new lab-made enzyme called NHS7108 in people with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI), a condition where the pancreas doesn't make enough enzymes to digest food. About 66 adults will take either NHS7108 or the standard enzyme Zenpep for 14 days each, while eating a controlled diet. The goal is to see if NHS7108 is safe and helps absorb nutrients from food.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- NHS7108 (a lab-made lipase enzyme)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for people with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, helping them digest food better.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early phase 2a trial with only 66 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The new enzyme may cause side effects or not work as well as current treatments.
