Filter by:The purpose of this research study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of three commonly used techniques for delivering anesthesia during a procedure known as esophagogastroduodenoscopy.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the optimal dose and administration methods of CJ-12420 in patients with erosive esophagitis by comparing the safety and efficacy of orally administered CJ-12420 to esomeprazole 40mg.
Purpose: To determine whether oral viscous budesonide (OVB) or fluticasone metered dose inhaler (MDI) most effectively treats EoE by improving histologic findings and symptoms, which medication provides a more durable treatment response, and whether biomarkers can predict treatment response. Participants: A total of up to 200 16-80 year old patients with a new diagnosis of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) who are referred for upper endoscopy will be consented with a target of 122 randomized. Procedures: This will be a prospective, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, clinical trial comparing OVB to fluticasone MDI for treatment of EoE. This overall study design will generate data for all three Aims
The overall goal of this study is to develop a novel minimally invasive device, the Esophageal String Test (EST) to monitor esophageal inflammation during treatment of the rare disease Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) in a safe and efficacious manner. This study is broken down into 2 specific aims: Specific Aim 1: Identify the EoE Biomarker Panel (EBP) that will improve the sensitivity and specificity of the EST for documenting esophageal inflammation in a 1-hour time point. Specific Aim 2: Validate the ability of the EST EBP to monitor therapeutic efficacy in a 1-hour sampling time. Funding Source - FDA OOPD
To evaluate quantitative magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) as a potential non-invasive, radiation-free diagnostic tool for evaluating esophageal wall remodeling (thickness and stiffness) and response to treatment in children and adolescents with newly diagnosed eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) presenting with dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) and food impaction.
Purpose: To validate our previously developed model of risk factors for diagnosis of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), and to assess the utility of serum levels of biomarkers in diagnosis and monitoring of treatment of EoE. Participants: Up to a total of 800 participants (approximately 400 with EoE and 400 without EoE) who are referred for upper endoscopy. Procedures: This is a prospective cohort study. Patients will be compared with newly diagnosed EoE to non-EoE controls, obtain baseline measures, reassess EoE patients after treatment, and also reassess untreated controls. Data collection will include questionnaire results, blood collection, and tissue collection (esophageal biopsies performed during upper endoscopy per pre-specified protocol). Blood will be analyzed for the presence of the candidate biomarkers. Patients will be compared with newly diagnosed EoE to non-EoE controls, obtain baseline measures, reassess EoE patients after treatment, and also reassess untreated controls. Data collection will include questionnaire results, blood collection, possible saliva collection, possible urine collection, and tissue collection (esophageal biopsies performed during upper endoscopy per pre-specified protocol). Blood will be analyzed for the presence of the candidate biomarkers, including eotaxin-3 and IL-13.
The primary objective is to investigate the adverse events during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy with and without sedation in Chinese population
The purpose of this study is; To investigate whether a D961H sachet 20 mg is bioequivalent to a D961H HPMC capsule 20 mg by the assessment of percentage of time with intragastric pH>4. To compare a D961H sachet 20 mg with a D961H HPMC capsule 20 mg by the assessment of percentage of time with intragastric pH>3 during 24 hours and 24-hour median pH. To compare PK properties of a D961H sachet 20 mg with those of D961H HPMC capsule 20 mg. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of a D961H sachet 20 mg and D961H HPMC capsule 20 mg.
Do patients with eosinophilic esophagitis have baseline increased esophageal mucosal impedance? And will treatment that reverses esophageal eosinophilia in patients, correct abnormalities in mucosal impedance?
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if glutamine can help control and prevent sores, blisters, or inflammation in your mouth or esophagus due to your current treatment. In this study, glutamine will be compared to a placebo. A placebo is not a drug. It looks like the drug but is not designed to treat any disease or illness. It is designed to be compared with a study drug to learn if the study drug has any real effect.
