Filter by:Presently, the only method available to monitor disease activity in Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) is endoscopy with pathological review of biopsies. The overall goal of this study is to determine the ability of the Esophageal String Test (EST), a minimally invasive capsule based technology, to measure disease activity in children with EoE. Additionally, to determine esophageal distensibility in children presenting with EoE by using the EndoFLIP (functional luminal imaging probe) device during endoscopic procedures.
Researchers are trying to understand the course of Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE), its progression and effects of treatments.
This pilot clinical trial studies sensory evaluation of oral nutrition supplements in patients at risk for mucositis undergoing cancer treatment. Sensory evaluation may help to obtain input about new oral nutritional supplements that may increase nutrient intake and maintain or improve nutritional status, functional capacity, and quality of life in cancer patients.
The purpose of this survey is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of vonoprazan tablets in patients with gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, and reflux esophagitis in the routine clinical setting.
The purpose of this survey is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of long-term administration of vonoprazan tablets when used as maintenance therapy for reflux esophagitis in routine clinical settings.
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an inflammatory disease of the esophagus, characterized by eosinophilic infiltration and gastrointestinal symptoms. Swallowed, topically acting corticosteroids, such as fluticasone, appear to be effective in resolving acute clinical and pathological features of EoE. APT-1011 is an orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) formulation of fluticasone propionate. This study is designed to compare the efficacy and safety of APT-1011 with placebo in adults with EoE for an initial 12-week treatment period, followed by an additional 40-week maintenance treatment phase. Histologic response, pharmacokinetics, and dysphagia will be assessed.
The purpose of this study is to exploratorily evaluate the effect of vonoprazan 20 mg on sleep disturbance of patients with reflux esophagitis, who have heartburn and/or regurgitation and ≥ 6.0 in the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) global score despite the maintenance treatment with PPI other than vonoprazan.
The investigators are seeking to enroll 8 children ages 2-18 already undergoing upper endoscopy. For the purposes of research, a peripheral blood and clean catch urine specimen will be obtained to measure plasma and urine metabolomics. The data will be used to determine if there are any key differences in the metabolite profile of subjects found to have eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) versus non-EoE subjects. Once these metabolites are identified, the investigators will seek to enroll many more subjects for a validation phase.
Are we able to use the EPO staining technique using the sponge ?
The purpose of this study is to find out some potential biomarkers for the Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) in pediatric patients through the prospective clinical characterization and assessment of samples collected during the diagnostic process
