Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency Understanding

Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI): Overview

Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) is a condition characterized by deficiency of the exocrine pancreatic enzymes, resulting in the inability to digest food properly, or maldigestion. The exocrine pancreas produces three main types of enzymes: amylase, protease, and lipase. Under normal physiologic conditions, the enzymes (specifically, lipase) break undigested triglycerides into fatty acids and monoglycerides, which are then solubilized by bile salts (see Pathophysiology). Because the exocrine pancreas retains a large reserve capacity for enzyme secretion, fat digestion is not clearly impaired until lipase output decreases to below 10% of the normal level. Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency is associated with certain diseases and conditions that affect the pancreas. Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is the most common cause of Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency in adults. Over the course of years the inflammation can lead to irreversible damage to the pancreas, including the cells that secrete pancreatic digestive enzymes and the cells that produce insulin leading to diabetes.

Symptoms

The most common symptom of PEI is fatty stools (steatorrhea). Steatorrhea occurs when the digestive system is unable to absorb dietary fats. Instead, these fats pass through the intestinal tract with waste products. The stools tend to be oily, large, pale, very foul-smelling, and often float in toilet water and stay in the toilet bowl, even after flushing. Individuals with steatorrhea sometimes experience fecal incontinence or oily leakage. Intestinal gas and bloating can also occur from the fermentation of undigested food in the colon. Many individuals with PEI will experience nutritional deficiencies, especially of fat-soluble vitamins such as A, D, E, and K, since they are not taking in enough fats to help absorb these vitamins.

Diagnosis

The symptoms of PEI are often similar to other gastrointestinal illnesses, which can make diagnosis difficult. Blood tests: These can include the following:
  • Complete blood count (CBC)
  • Antigliadin and antiendomysial antibodies
Stool tests

Determination of fecal elastase and chymotrypsin (2 proteases produced by the pancreas) can be used to try to distinguish between pancreatic causes and intestinal causes of malabsorption.

Treatment

Treatment for EPI includes dietary management, lifestyle changes (i.e., decrease in alcohol consumption and smoking cessation), and pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy.
  • Lifestyle modifications (eg, avoidance of fatty foods, limitation of alcohol intake, cessation of smoking, and consumption of a well-balanced diet)
  • Vitamin supplementation (primarily the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K)
  • Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT), which is the therapeutic mainstay
Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency Emerging Drugs Chapters

This segment of the Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency Emerging Drugs
  • MS1819: AzurRx BioPharma/Mayoly-Spindler
MS1819, a recombinant lipase derived from the yeast Yarrowia Lipolytica, is in development for the treatment of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) associated with chronic pancreatitis (CP) and cystic fibrosis (CF). Early Phase Ib data in EPI patients treated with MS1819 showed a favorable safety profile and encouraging preliminary signals of efficacy. AzurRx is currently conducting a Phase IIa trial of MS1819 for the treatment of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) associated with chronic pancreatic pancreatitis (CP). The study is being performed at four sites in Australia and New Zealand with a target enrollment of 12-15 patients. In addition to assessing safety, AzurRx is evaluating four escalating dose increments of MS1819, with the aim of elucidating the optimal treatment dose to be taken into subsequent registration trials in EPI patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP) and cystic fibrosis (CF).
