New enzyme pill could help cystic fibrosis patients digest food better
NCT ID NCT07450547
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 16 times
Summary
This study tests a new medicine called ANG003 for people with cystic fibrosis who have trouble digesting food (exocrine pancreatic insufficiency). The medicine is a type of enzyme replacement therapy, similar to the current standard treatment Creon. About 113 participants will receive either ANG003 or Creon to see if the new treatment is safe and works as well. The main goal is to measure how well the body absorbs fat and to check for side effects.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ANG003 (a pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for people with cystic fibrosis who have trouble digesting food due to pancreatic insufficiency.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 113 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The new therapy might not work better than the current standard treatment, Creon.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male and female subjects aged ≥12 years from the date of informed consent in the US and aged ≥18 years in the EU 2. Confirmed and documented diagnosis of CF 3. Diagnosed with severe EPI as defined by a fecal elastase ≤50 μg/g stool measured at Screening by a central laboratory. 4. Subject has controlled EPI and taking a stable dose of pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) for 90 days prior to Screening. 5. Adequate nutritional status measured by body mass index (BMI) defined by: 1. BMI ≥25th percentile for children aged 12-17 years 2. BMI ≥18.5 kg/m2 for ≥18 years of age Exclusion Criteria: 1. History of fibrosing colonopathy or recurring distal intestinal obstructive syndrome within 6 months of Screening. 2. 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. 3. Known hypersensitivity or other severe reaction to any ingredient of the investigational product (IP), Creon, or the stool marker (FD\&C Blue #2). 4. 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.
