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. * Baseline endoscopic biopsies with a demonstration on central reading of intraepithelial eosinophilic infiltration. * History (by participant report) of an average of at least 2 episodes of dysphagia (with intake of solids) per week in the 4 weeks prior to screening. * Body weight ≥40 kg. Exclusion Criteria: Participants are excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply: * Other causes of esophageal eosinophilia or the following conditions: hypereosinophilic syndrome or eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Churg Strauss syndrome). * 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. * Participation in prior dupilumab clinical study or participants currently treated or have been treated with commercially available dupilumab or contraindicated to dupilumab per local labelling.
