Filter by:This is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability, and pharmacodynamic effect of subcutaneous lirentelimab (AK002), given monthly for 6 doses, in subjects with moderate to severe Eosinophilic Gastritis and/or Eosinophilic Duodenitis who have an inadequate response with, lost response to, or were intolerant to standard therapies.
The proposed Phase 1b study design was a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, study to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of oral BT-11 in active eosinophilic esophagitis.
To prospectively determine the natural history of inflammation resolution following initiation of diet treatment and to optimize the diet treatment of patients with EoE through the use of a non-endoscopic tracking device, the esophageal string test (EST).
A prospective longitudinal, observational study of adolescent and adults that will identify novel metabolites associated with dysphagia in Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE).
This research is being done to see if the investigators can use the cytosponge or esophacap (depending on availability) to determine if shorter duration SFED (two weeks versus six weeks) would have equal results.
The Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disorders (EGIDS) Registry is a longitudinal study that does not involve medical interventions, but serves as a record of demographics, characteristics of disease and treatment, utilization patterns, quality improvement measures and clinical outcomes. The database is proposed so that epidemiologic research can be performed and current and accurate data can be obtained regarding practice patterns, age and gender distributions, efficacy of treatment, clinical outcomes and changes in quality of life.
This study will compare response to treatment of Eosinophilic Esophagitis with montelukast vs standard therapy fluticasone. Investigators hypothesize that montelukast is equally effective in treating symptoms and histology of EoE when compared to fluticasone. The study will be conducted at multiple sites with Medical College of Wisconsin as the coordinating site. After identification and recruitment all patients will be randomized (provider blinded) to one of two medications: montelukast 10mg po qday vs fluticasone 440mcg po bid. Patients will also complete a pretreatment, 6 week therapy and 12 week therapy questionaire. They will then undergo a repeat endoscopy to evaluate endoscopic and histologic response.
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a disease that has increased in incidence over the past decade that affects males predominantly, and in adults, is characterized by heartburn, dysphagia, strictures and food impactions. These symptoms may require emergent endoscopic removal of foods and esophageal dilations due to remodeling causing significant impairment in quality of life. Treatment options are limited and often not well tolerated or effective. There is poor understanding of the natural history and long term prognosis. It has been associated with allergic sensitization; a high percentage of affected individuals having associated atopy and current literature demonstrates a seasonal distribution of incidence and severity of symptoms. Allergy immunotherapy (AIT) is a well established and effective treatment for allergic rhinitis and asthma which can induce tolerance to environmental allergens. Given the efficacy of AIT and the association of aeroallergen sensitization and even seasonal variation of EoE symptoms, we hypothesized that AIT may be a treatment option for patients with EoE.
The investigators will determine the prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) and importantly determine the predictors of response to Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) therapy in EoE. Moreover, the investigators will determine the effect of GERD on the location of esophageal eosinophilia.
