MILAN, Italy, and DAYTON, Ohio, June 08, 2007
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --Eurand to present data on Zentase at
European Cystic Fibrosis Society Annual
Meeting.
.
-- Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) is a
deficiency of digestive
enzymes normally produced by
the pancreas that can result from a number
of diseases, including cystic
fibrosis, chronic pancreatitis, and
pancreatic cancer
-- EPI results in poor digestion and reduced
absorption of nutrients
which, if untreated, can lead
to impaired growth in children, impaired
immune response and shortened
life expectancy
-- Treatment with pancreatic replacement
products replaces enzymes lost
through this disease. Other
than enzyme replacement, no known
alternative therapy for the
loss of digestive enzymes is currently
available
-- Eurand completed two phase III clinical
trials on its lead product
candidate, Zentase(TM), for
the treatment of EPI
-- Eurand expects to initiate a rolling
submission of its new drug
application (NDA) with the US
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for
Zentase for the treatment of
EPI in the 2nd quarter of this year
-- Posters 243-246 will be presented on June
15th between 1:30-2:30pm:
1. Zentase, a New Pancreatic
Enzyme Product (PEP), Is Safe and
Effective in
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Patients with Exocrine Pancreatic
Insufficiency (EPI)
2. Zentase, a New Pancreatic
Enzyme Product (PEP), in Young Cystic
Fibrosis
(CF) Patients with Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI)
