Esophageal function study in eosinophilic esophagitis
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Digestive system, Ear, nose & throat, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at how the esophagus stretches and moves in people with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) who still have symptoms even though their inflammation is under control. The goal is to better understand why symptoms persist and find better ways to measure them.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and are currently in remission (inflammation is controlled, with fewer than 15 eosinophils per high-power field).
- You still have symptoms like trouble swallowing, food getting stuck, or chest pain, even with treatment.
- You are on a stable treatment plan for EoE (such as proton pump inhibitors, budesonide, dupilumab, or dietary changes) and plan to stay on it for the study.
- You do not have severe erosive esophagitis, achalasia, or other esophageal disorders.

This study looks at how the immune system and the esophageal barrier function in people with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) compared to those without. It involves taking biopsies during an upper endoscopy to understand the disease better. The results may help improve treatments for EoE.
This study follows patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (a condition where too many white blood cells called eosinophils build up in the food tube) to understand how the disease changes over time and what happens with different treatments. By tracking your symptoms and test results, doctors hope to learn how to better manage this condition.
This study tests if ultrasound (a simple, noninvasive scan) can check the thickness of the esophagus in people with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), a condition that can cause trouble swallowing. It may offer an easier way to monitor the disease compared to regular endoscopy.
This study tests a new way to check for a condition called eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) in children getting oral immunotherapy for food allergies. You swallow a small capsule on a string to collect cells from your esophagus—no endoscopy needed.
This study looks at how inflamed the esophagus is in children who have eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). It may help doctors better understand what’s driving symptoms like trouble swallowing and food getting stuck.
This study tracks patients with reflux, swallowing problems, or other esophageal symptoms to understand how the esophagus moves. It may help if you have heartburn, regurgitation, or related issues like cough or chest pain.
