Purpose：To observe and evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of deep-sea fish oil in preventing acute radiation-induced esophagitis (ARIE). Methods and Materials：A total of 120 patients with esophageal cancer treated with radiotherapy were randomly assigned (1:1) to treatment or control group. In the treatment group, 1g deep-sea fish oil was oral administrated prophylactically twice a day，the control group was blank control. The clinical efficacy of deep-sea fish oil on prevention of ARIE was evaluated by comparing the differences in the occurrence time, the grade and incidence of ARIE. Additionally, the change in nutritional status was also investigated. Hemanalysis, liver function, kidney function changes， and adverse reactions were compared before and after treatment to evaluate the safety of deep-sea fish oil.
The primary objective is to determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) of vonoprazan in breast milk of healthy lactating women who have received vonoprazan administered once daily for 4 consecutive days.
Patients with IgE mediated food Allergy have elevated risk of eosinophilic esophagitis, and new therapies like oral immunotherapy (OIT) carry additional risk of Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE). The goal of this study is to investigate the Esophageal String Test (EST) as a screening tool for Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) during OIT therapy. Investigators will compare the efficacy of the Esophageal String Test to symptom assessment using a validated patient reported symptom questionnaire, the Pediatric Eosinophilic Esophagitis Symptom Score (PEESS) v2.0. Investigators will utilize these tools to screen patients at their baseline visit prior to the start of OIT, then at the 3- and 6-month OIT follow-up visits.
Eosinophilic esophagitis is a recent and emerging chronic disease, secondary to eosinophilic infiltration of the esophageal mucosa leading to esophageal dysfunction. The diagnosis of this pathology, and monitoring of the efficacy of therapies, relies on the assessment of eosinophilic density on esophageal biopsies: follow-up requires numerous digestive endoscopies under general anesthesia, at each therapeutic change, to assess remission. The search for non-invasive biomarkers of active eosinophilic esophagitis is therefore a subject of major interest. The first step is to study EDN (Eosinophil-Derived Neurotoxin), a protein secreted when eosinophils are activated. Several studies have investigated the association between serum EDN, EDN on esophageal brushing or esophageal biopsies with eosinophilic esophagitis activity, and the results look promising. Urinary EDN is associated with atopy but has not been studied in eosinophilic esophagitis. EDN is a biomarker of interest because it is stable over time and, above all, can be measured routinely, making it applicable to routine patient management and care. Our main objective is to evaluate the correlation of EDN in urine, blood and esophageal brushings with the eosinophilic infiltrate counted on esophageal biopsies in patients undergoing upper GI endoscopy at Trousseau Hospital for suspected eosinophilic esophagitis, or as part of the re-evaluation of known eosinophilic esophagitis under treatment. Finally, esophageal and salivary dysbiosis has been described in eosinophilic esophagitis without direct evidence of its influence on esophageal inflammation and disease. Our secondary objective is to study the esophageal, salivary and fecal microbiota in these same patients in order to describe the composition, alpha and beta-diversity of bacterial and mycological flora between patients and controls, as well as their association with pathology, and to propose possible alternative therapies aimed at modulating the esophageal and/or salivary microbiota in the management of eosinophilic esophagitis. This study will be carried out on a cohort of pediatric patients followed up in the pediatric nutrition and gastroenterology department of the Trousseau-APHP hospital and hospitalized for upper GI endoscopy, either as part of a suspected case of eosinophilic esophagitis, or during follow-up of a previously known case of eosinophilic esophagitis. Blood, urine, stool, saliva, 4 additional esophageal biopsies and esophageal brushings were collected on the day of the digestive endoscopy. Depending on the eosinophilic densitý on the biopsies, subjects will be classified into either the "patient with active eosinophilic esophagitis" group, the "patient with eosinophilic esophagitis in remission" group, or the "control without eosinophilic esophagitis" group. The investigator aim to include 60 patients undergoing upper GI endoscopy, at least half of whoḿ will have active or remitting eosinophilic esophagitis. Furthermore, the study of the immunological, allergological and metabolomic signature of this disease is essential to enable the identification of new biomarkers to guide the creation of models combining several biomarkers predictive of eosinophilic density on esophageal biopsies. In a second step, the concentration of a panel of cytokines in blood and esophageal biopsies, the allergic sensitization profile in blood and esophageal biopsies, and an untargeted description of esophageal metabolomics will be compared between groups. In terms of clinical prospects, the investigator plan to develop a patient follow-up strategy based on the biomarkers studied, which is better adapted to clinical practice, better tolerated by patients and less costly than repeated endoscopies with esophageal biopsies.
This study aims to develop a highly sensitive, specific, and cost-effective blood assay for the early detection of esophageal adenocarcinoma and its precursor lesions, using advanced machine learning and state-of-the-art biological analyses.
The objective of the study is to study whether the introduction of heated food products (more specifically heated hen's egg and/or cow's milk) in children with EoE would be possible without re-occurrence of the eosinophilic inflammation, while the intake of less heated products might cause disease recidive. Moreover, we would like to study whether the gradual re-introduction of less heated products after the most heated form is tolerated, could lead to tolerance induction in EoE.
The purpose of this research study is to determine how well an FDA-approved drug, dupilumab, works to treat patients with severe strictures and active Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE). This is an open-label study, meaning everyone in the study will receive dupilumab. Participants will have a screening visit where they will complete surveys and undergo an endoscopy (EGD). Blood and biopsies (small tissue samples) will also be collected. If eligible and enrolled into the study, participants will receive weekly subcutaneous (under the skin) injections of dupilumab for 52 weeks (one year). The first dose of dupilumab will be administered at the week 1 visit by a clinician and participants will receive training on how to self-administer the remaining doses. Participants will return for study visits every at weeks 4, 8, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 44, and 52. During these visits, vital signs (temperature, heart rate, etc.) will be collected and participants will complete surveys. During visits at week 12, 24, and 52, blood will be collected and an endoscopy with biopsy will be performed. At 64 weeks (12 weeks after the last dose of dupilumab), participants assigned male at birth (AMAB) will be contacted about their / their partner's pregnancy status and participants assigned female at birth (AFAB) may be asked to come for an in-person visit to complete a urine pregnancy test.
The investigator would like to create a prospective cohort of patients in order to describe eosinophilic esophagitis with the specificities corresponding to our geographical territory, and to study their evolution at 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months and 24 months. This study would also enable us to investigate the quality of life of these chronically ill patients
Feeding dysfunction and/or dysphagia are the main symptoms of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Also, these symptoms may be a part of sensory processing disorders. Therefore, the present study compared sensory processing abilities between children with EoE and typically developing (TD) controls.
