- two CF causing CFTR mutations and
- CF clinical features7,8.
4.Subject has a documented clinically confirmed diagnosis of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency.
5.Subject has human fecal elastase < 100 µg/g stool at screening.

7.Females of child-bearing potential 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
