Abstract | OBJECTIVES: METHODS: Data were from the Decision Resources Group Real-World Evidence Data Repository US database. Patients 18 years and older receiving pancrelipase (Zenpep) between index dates August 2015 and June 2020 were included. Gastrointestinal symptoms were assessed 6, 12, and 18 months post-index versus baseline. RESULTS: A total of 10,656 pancrelipase-treated patients with CP (n = 3215) or T2D (n = 7441) were identified. Significant/sustained reductions in gastrointestinal symptoms were observed in both cohorts after pancrelipase treatment (P < 0.001) versus baseline. Significantly fewer patients with CP compliant with treatment for more than 270 days (n = 1553) reported abdominal pain (P < 0.001) and nausea/ vomiting (P < 0.05) versus those compliant for less than 90 days (n = 1115). Significantly fewer patients with T2D compliant with treatment for more than 270 days (n = 2964) reported abdominal pain (P < 0.001) and diarrhea/ steatorrhea (P < 0.05) versus those compliant for less than 90 days (n = 2959). CONCLUSIONS:
