Inclusion Criteria:

1. Subject has voluntarily signed and dated the Informed Consent Form (ICF). For subjects

be given by the subject.

2. Subject is 12 years old or older at the time of consent signature.

3. Subject has a diagnosis of CF previously confirmed by:

- a sweat chloride test > or equal to 60 mmol/Ls and/or

- two CF causing Cystic Fibrosis trans membrane conductance regulator (CFTR)
mutations and

- CF clinical features

4. Subject has a documented clinically confirmed diagnosis of pancreatic exocrine
insufficiency.

5. Subject has human fecal elastase < 100 µg/g stool at screening

6. Subject has PEI that is currently clinically controlled (no clinically overt
steatorrhea or diarrhea) under treatment with a commercially available Pancreatic
enzyme Replacement Therapy (PERT), on an individually established dose regimen for
more than 3 months, with a daily dose not exceeding 10,000 U lipase/kg/day.

7. Females of child-bearing potential and sexually active with men should agree to
continue using a medically acceptable method of birth control throughout the study and
for 7 days immediately after the last dose of study drug. Medically acceptable methods
of birth control include bilateral tubal ligation or the use of either a contraceptive
implant, a contraceptive injection (e.g., Depo Provera™), an intrauterine device, or
an oral contraceptive taken continually within the past three months and which the
subject agrees to continue using during the study or to adopt another birth control
method, or a double-barrier method which consists of a combination of any two of the
following: diaphragm, cervical cap, condom, or spermicide.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Subject is < 18 years of age and has a Body Mass Index (BMI) Z-Score below -1.5 (minus
1.5)

- distal ileal obstruction syndrome (DIOS) within 6 months prior to study entry;

- celiac disease;

- gastric bypass or partial/total gastrectomy;

- Crohn's disease;

- small bowel surgery (other than minor resection due to meconium ileus without
resulting in malabsorption syndrome).

- Any type of malignancy involving the digestive tract in the last 5 years.

3. Subjects with diabetes mellitus, for which the study specific dietary requirements may
not be appropriate.

4. Subject has a history of other endocrine or respiratory (except mild asthma) medical
illness non-related to CF, which might limit participation in or completion of the
study.

5. Subject has a history of any clinically significant neurological, cardiac, renal,
hepatic (including Hepatitis B or C), hematologic or psychiatric disease or disorder,
or any other uncontrolled medical illness (except cystic fibrosis) which might limit
participation in or completion of the study.

6. Subjects requiring concomitant treatment with any medication not allowed by the
protocol or is expected to be needed.

7. Subjects requiring Naso-gastric, G-tubes or J-tubes.

8. Subject is currently participating in any other interventional clinical study or has
taken any experimental drug within 30 days prior to Screening.

9. Subject is known to be HIV-positive.

10. Subject has a history of allergic reaction or significant sensitivity to pancreatin or
inactive ingredients (excipients) of Creon® (DR/GR) or Creon IR
