What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the effects of dupilumab on esophageal function and remodeling in adults diagnosed with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). It consists of a 24-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase followed by a 104-week open-label phase, totaling 128 weeks of treatment. Participants will undergo multiple site visits and receive either the active drug or a placebo during the initial phase. The study aims to provide insights into the long-term benefits of dupilumab for managing EoE symptoms and improving esophageal health.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults with a documented diagnosis of eosinophilic esophagitis who experience frequent episodes of dysphagia.

Not a fit: Patients with other causes of esophageal eosinophilia or significant esophageal conditions may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly improve the quality of life for patients suffering from eosinophilic esophagitis by alleviating symptoms and enhancing esophageal function.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise in using dupilumab for similar conditions, indicating potential for success in this approach.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

* A documented diagnosis of EoE by endoscopic biopsy.

* Active Helicobacter pylori infection.
* History of achalasia, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, celiac disease, and prior esophageal surgery.
* Any esophageal stricture unable to be passed with a standard, diagnostic, 9 to10 mm upper endoscope or any critical esophageal stricture that requires dilation at screening.
* History of bleeding disorders or esophageal varices.
* Treatment with swallowed topical corticosteroids within 8 weeks prior to baseline.
* Initiation or change of a food elimination diet regimen or reintroduction of a previously eliminated food group in the 6 weeks prior to screening.
