Summary

This study tests whether adding a high-dose pancreatic enzyme replacement (Pancreaze) to standard care can help patients with advanced pancreatic cancer who have weight loss and trouble digesting food. About 36 adults will take the enzymes with meals and snacks for 8 weeks. The goal is to see if patients can stick with the therapy and if it helps stabilize weight, improve nutrition, and quality of life.
