Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Age between 18 and 75 years (inclusive of boundary values), regardless of gender;
  • History of prior gastrointestinal surgical treatment, including but not limited to:

I. Post-pancreatectomy patients within 3-6 months (e.g., distal pancreatectomy, mid-pancreatectomy, total pancreatectomy, pancreatoduodenectomy); II. Post-gastrectomy patients within 2-6 months (e.g., partial gastrectomy excluding total gastrectomy);

  • For tumor patients, the primary tumor stage before or during surgery must be Stage I or II (AJCC 8th edition). Patients in the interval between anti-tumor treatments must have undergone a washout period exceeding 28 days to avoid interference from anti-tumor therapy on this study;
  • Diagnosis of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI) based on comprehensive assessment by the investigator considering medical history, symptoms, nutritional status, and pancreatic function;
  • Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index (GIQLI) score ≤ 105 points;
  • Stable postoperative condition without systemic infection, anastomotic leak, or other severe postoperative complications;
  • Participants fully understand the study and voluntarily sign a written informed consent form approved by the ethics committee.

Exclusion criteria

  • Known allergy to any component of micafungin pancreatic enzyme tablets;
  • Patients with acute pancreatitis or acute exacerbation during active phase of chronic pancreatitis, or those with known contraindications listed in the product label;
  • Patients with rare inherited fructose intolerance, glucose-galactose malabsorption, or sucrose-isomaltase deficiency
  • Gastrointestinal obstruction;
  • Use of other digestive enzyme replacement therapies during the study period;
  • Coexisting decompensated cirrhosis, active hepatitis with significant hepatic dysfunction, or other definite severe chronic diseases clearly affecting gastrointestinal motility and absorption (e.g., active inflammatory bowel disease); diabetes is not an exclusion criterion but must be documented in detail regarding type and treatment regimen;
  • Tumor patients who had distant metastasis (M1) preoperatively (AJCC 8th edition) or locally advanced unresectable tumors requiring non-curative surgery. Patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy/radiotherapy/targeted therapy or other systemic anti-tumor treatments prior to or during surgery, even if the primary tumor was staged as Stage I or II;
  • Post-gastrointestinal surgery patients diagnosed clinically with gastroparesis, or meeting any of the following criteria for diagnosing delayed gastric emptying (DGE):

I.Chronic refractory gastroparesis: duration > 6 months post-surgery, with persistent symptoms at moderate or greater severity despite standardized prokinetic therapy (e.g., metoclopramide, domperidone, erythromycin); II.Severe gastroparesis symptoms present at screening, which are the primary reason for patient visit; the researcher assesses symptom severity as equivalent to or worse than symptoms potentially caused by PEI (e.g., steatorrhea); III.Invasive interventions due to gastroparesis: such as placement of jejunal feeding tube, pyloric dilation, or surgical reconstruction, and still dependent on these measures for nutritional support;

  • Currently participating in another clinical trial, or recently completed another clinical trial without having reached the required washout period (within 28 days);
  • Other patients judged by the investigator as unsuitable for participation in this clinical trial.

Treatment and study plan

High-dose group: Oryz-Aspergillus Enzyme and Pancreatin Tablet

Drug

High-dose group: Oryz-Aspergillus Enzyme And Pancreatin Tablet, 5 tablets each time, three times daily, taken with each main meal or after meals, continuous administration for 4 weeks (28 days);

Low-dose group: Oryz-Aspergillus Enzyme And Pancreatin Tablet

Drug

Low-dose group: Oral study drug:Oryz-Aspergillus Enzyme And Pancreatin Tablet, 1 tablet each time, three times daily, taken with each main meal or after meals, continuous administration for 4 weeks (28 days).

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS) from baseline in the two groups of patients before treatment, after 5 days of treatment, and after 4 weeks of treatment

    Time frame: 5 days,4 weeks

    Scale Full Name: Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS) The total score ranges from 15 (lowest, no symptoms) to 105 (highest, all symptoms extremely severe).

    Higher scores mean a worse outcome.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in nutritional status scores (NRS 2002 scale) of the two groups of patients after 4 weeks of treatment compared to baseline

    Time frame: 4 weeks

    Full name of the scale: Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS-2002) The NRS-2002 uses a weighted scoring system with a total score ranging from from 0 points (lowest) to 7 points (highest), consisting of four independent modules: disease severity score, nutritional status impairment score, age adjustment, and final integrated assessment criteria. A patient is considered to have a nutritional risk only if the total score is ≥3, warranting further nutritional assessment and medical nutrition intervention.

    higher scores mean a worse outcome

  2. Laboratory values after 4 weeks of treatment in the two groups: changes in total protein levels

    Time frame: 4 weeks

  3. Laboratory values after 4 weeks of treatment in the two groups: changes in albumin levels

    Time frame: 4 weeks

  4. Laboratory values after 4 weeks of treatment in the two groups: changes in globulin levels

    Time frame: 4 weeks

  5. Laboratory values after 4 weeks of treatment in the two groups: changes in prealbumin levels

    Time frame: 4 weeks

  6. Laboratory values after 4 weeks of treatment in the two groups: changes in transferrin levels

    Time frame: 4 weeks

  7. Weight changes from baseline after 4 weeks of treatment in two groups of patients

    Time frame: 4 weeks

    weight in kilograms

  8. BMI changes from baseline after 4 weeks of treatment in two groups of patients

    Time frame: 4 weeks

    weight and height will be combined to report BMI in kg/m^2
