Study of Pancreatic Enzyme Replacement on Completion of Adjuvant Chemotherapy for Resected Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

The FDA (the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) has approved Zenpep as a treatment option for PEI. Zenpep is a combination of three enzymes (proteins). These enzymes are normally produced by the pancreas and are important in the digestion of fats, proteins, and sugars. Zenpep is used to replace these enzymes when the body does not have enough of its own as a result of surgery and/or pancreatic cancer. In this research study, the investigators are studying whether Zenpep will improve the ability of patients to complete adjuvant treatment for their pancreatic cancer after surgery to remove their tumor. The investigators are also studying if Zenpep will have an effect on nutrition status and quality of life for pancreatic cancer patients after they have had surgery to remove their tumor.
