Dupilumab treatment for children with refractory eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders

Official title: Dupilumab Therapy for Refractory Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disorders in Children

Run by Children's Hospital of Fudan University · NCT07257835 · Data updated 2026-11-12

We will try subcutaneous dupilumab injections in children with refractory EGIDs to see if symptoms, tissue eosinophils, and tolerability improve.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Children with refractory eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders, including those with refractory peptic ulcers and persistent disease despite standard therapies, are the intended candidates.

Probably not a fit

Children with active Helicobacter pylori infection, inflammatory bowel disease, parasitic infection, or cancer were excluded and are unlikely to benefit from this protocol.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This single-center observational protocol at Children's Hospital of Fudan University follows children with refractory eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders who receive standard-dose subcutaneous dupilumab. Investigators will collect symptom measures, endoscopic and histologic findings including eosinophil counts, routine laboratory safety tests, and record adverse events during follow-up. Patients receive licensed dupilumab dosing in a real-world setting rather than an experimental dosing schedule. The goal is to describe clinical response and tolerability in pediatric patients who have not responded to conventional therapies.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, dupilumab could reduce gastrointestinal eosinophilia and symptoms and lessen reliance on long-term steroids or immunosuppressants in affected children.

How similar studies have gone: Dupilumab has shown significant efficacy in eosinophilic esophagitis and there are growing reports and small series suggesting benefit in eosinophilic gastritis and duodenitis.
