Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease resulting from the inheritance of a defective autosomal recessive gene. It often results in exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (PI) that leads to non-digestion of fats and proteins and finally to malabsorption of these nutrients. The patients need to take pancreatic enzymes to allow absorption of these nutriments and this has contributed to a significant increase in the life span of CF patients.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of ULTRASE MT20 compared to placebo for the correction of fat and protein malabsorption in patients with CF and PI.
