Dr. Stallings designed and led the NIH-funded study on Encala™ for people with cystic fibrosis. In this podcast she discusses pancreatic insufficiency and the reasons for poor nutrient absorption among many with CF, and the results of the clinical trials with Encala in improving nutritional status.
