Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Pancreatic insufficiency (PI) documented by fecal elastase <100 mg/gm measured at the Screening Visit
Diagnosis of CF based upon the following criteria: *two clinical features consistent with CF; and *either genotype with two identifiable mutations consistent with CF, *or sweat chloride > 60 mEq/L by quantitative pilocarpine iontophoresis.
FEV1 > 30% predicted
Clinically stable with no evidence of acute upper or lower respiratory tract infection

Exclusion Criteria:

Known hypersensitivity to food additives
Participation in an investigational study of a drug, biologic, or device not currently approved for marketing within 30 days prior to the Screening Visit
Unable to discontinue the use of pancreatic enzymes for a 72-hour period or any other condition that the investigator believes would interfere with the intent of this study or would make study participation not in the best interest of the subject
