Filter by:This study will evaluate whether a Whole Food Intervention reduces the frequency or severity of esophagitis in patients receiving treatment for non-small cell lung cancer. The Whole Food Intervention consists of yogurt, butter, honey, vanilla, and glutamine with 3 portioning cups, equal to approximately 12 ounces, taken daily before starting radiation therapy.
The overall objective of this preclinical study is to further the investigators mechanistic understanding of the role that the α4β7 and mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule (MAdCAM-1) pathway plays in mediating eosinophil recruitment in EoE. To accomplish this, the investigators aim to (1) determine the baseline and dynamic patterns of α4β7 integrin expression on circulating and tissue eosinophils in EoE and in the setting of non-EoE esophageal eosinophilia (e.g., reflux esophagitis) and (2) determine the complete profile of eosinophil integrin molecules that may play a role in active EoE.
The purpose of this observational study is to find the best measures to define how well a person with eosinophilic disorder is doing. People with EoE, EG, EGE and EC normally undergo endoscopy and/or colonoscopy where cells are collected for microscopic analysis. Treatments are then decided based on how the cells look. We are aiming to compare different tissue components such as inflammatory cell types with clinical symptoms. We want to see if scores on standard questionnaires can give us an idea how well the person is doing.
This is a randomized, open-label pilot study to assess whether treatment with chlorhexidine mouthwash can alter the esophageal and gastric cardia microbiome
Background: - About 15 million Americans have a food allergy. Because there are no cures or effective prevention or treatment for food allergies, researchers want to learn more about them. Objective: - To learn more about the causes and effects of food allergy and related conditions. Eligibility: - People ages 2 99 who have food allergy and/or a related genetic or other condition - Their relatives - Healthy relatives and volunteers Design: - Participants will have at least 3 visits over 1 2 years, and then once a year for up to 12 years. Each may last a day or longer. - Participants will be screened with medical history, physical exam, and questionnaires. - Participants may have the following: - Blood tests - Allergy skin prick tests: Drops of allergens are placed on the back or arm. The skin is scratched under each drop. - Leukapheresis: blood is taken from a needle in one arm, passed through a machine, and returned through a needle in the other arm. - X-rays - Esophageal string test: One end of a string is taped to the cheek and the other end is packed into a capsule. When the capsule is swallowed, the string unwinds; it is left in for at least 1 hour. - EGD and colonoscopy: Biopsies are taken from the gastrointestinal system. - Tiny biopsies of skin - Photographs of the body - Collection of cells through: - Swab of nose, inside of cheek, or skin - Gentle skin scrape - Tape stripping: piece of tape is put on the skin and pulled off.
The purpose of this study is to prove the superiority of a 48-weeks treatment with budesonide orodispersible tablets versus placebo for the maintenance of clinico-pathological remission in patients with eosinophilic esophagitis.
The objective of this investigation is to collect following data in patients given NEXIUM capsule (NEXIUM) in usual post-marketing use.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Z-215 (10 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg) , compared with Rabeprazole Sodium 10mg in patients with erosive esophagitis of Grade A to D as defined by the LA classification grading system.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of CJ-12420, once daily (QD), compared to esomeprazole in patients with erosive esophagitis classified as Los Angeles (LA) classification grades A to D at Week 8
This protocol addresses a central hypothesis that fibrostenotic Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) is characterized by abnormal esophageal structure and compliance compared to non fibrostenotic EoE and that distinctive cellular and molecular profiles predict the fibrostenotic phenotype. This study aims to define and assess the changes that occur in the structure and dynamics of the esophageal wall in pediatric Eosinophilic Esophagitis along with characterizing the histologic and molecular patterns in fibrostenotic EoE.
