Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Number of Patients With at Least One Treatment Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) [ Time Frame: 10 Days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Treatment Emergent Adverse Events are defined as adverse events started at or after the first administration of study drug and include those events started prior to the first administration but which worsened after the first intake.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Stool Fat (% Fat) [ Time Frame: Last 3 days in a 10-day treatment period ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The stool fat content was calculated as percent fat of dry solid weight per bowel movement. Stool fat per patient was derived as mean over three bowel movements sampled (i.e. one sample per day).

  • Fat Intake (g) [ Time Frame: Last 3 days in a 10-day treatment period ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The mean daily fat intake was determined as the average of daily fat intake over a 3-day period.

  • Total Calorie Intake (kcal) [ Time Frame: Last 3 days in a 10-day treatment period ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The total calorie intake was determined as the average of total calorie of daily food intake intake over a 3-day period.
