Effects of Swallowed Steroids on Bone Density and Growth in Pediatric Eosinophilic Esophagitis
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is characterized by allergy-driven inflammation of the esophagus leading to a variety of gastrointestinal symptoms and increased healthcare utilization. While considered a rare disease, EoE is rapidly increasing in prevalence in the United States. Treatment options are limited and include dietary modifications with the elimination of suspected food triggers or pharmacological options including proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and swallowed corticosteroids. Compliance to strict elimination diets is difficult thus many patients elect to use swallowed corticosteroids. Because nearly half of all EoE patients...

Efficacy and Safety APT-1011 in Subjects With Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) (FLUTE-2)
This is a 2-part randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of APT-1011 in adults and adolescents (≥12 years) with EoE. Part A will evaluate the efficacy and safety of APT-1011 3 mg administered HS for the induction of response to treatment (histologic and symptomatic) over 12 weeks. Part B will evaluate histological relapse-free status in patients re-randomized to continue APT-1011 or placebo (active treatment withdrawal) until Week 52.

Efficacy of Local Food Extracts at Different Storage Times
Local lyophylized food extracts are available useful in skin prick test and atopy patch test to confirm food allergy. However, the investigators want to know the duration that the investigators can keep the extracts for the usage in this purpose.

Efficacy of the "Milk Ladder" Intervention in the Development of Tolerance and the Recognition of B Cell Epitopes in Babies Who Are Allergic to Cow's Milk Proteins
Food allergies have become a relevant health problem in westernized societies, particularly, with children. Cow's milk (CM), along with hen's eggs, are the most common foods eliciting allergic reactions in children under 4 years of age. The main objective of this intervention study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the intervention known as "The Milk Ladder" in the development of tolerance by children with CM allergies. This will be compared to an historical cohort (CoALE), which investigated the natural history of this allergy. Additionally, the ability of informative epitopes will be evaluated for their potential to predict...

Egg Allergy Oral Desensitization
This study evaluates whether tolerance to eggs can be induced in patients through a process of oral immunotherapy. Participants will be randomized into groups receiving oral immunotherapy and a control group that will receive no intervention

EoE Food Desensitization
This is a single-center, prospective, pilot clinical trial in which children ages 3-17 years with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) who have a known food that triggers EoE flares receive oral desensitization with that specific food antigen, followed by reintroduction of that food into the diet. The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and feasibility of oral desensitization in children with EoE so that, if determined to be safe, can be repeated on a larger scale to determine efficacy.

EoE RCT Fluticasone and Omeprazole vs Fluticasone Alone
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of combination therapy with omeprazole and swallowed fluticasone vs fluticasone therapy and placebo in the treatment of Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) in children and adults. This study will be a double-blinded, randomized controlled trial. The primary outcome measured will be histologic assessment of esophageal tissue biopsies measuring number of eosinophils per high power field (eos/hpf). Secondary outcomes will be endoscopic findings and symptomatic changes following therapy using validated endoscopic scoring measures and participant surveys, respectively.

Epidemiological Investigation and Cohort Study on Food Allergy in Children Aged 3 to 6 Years in Wenzhou and Taizhou Urban Areas
Objective 1. To investigate the status of food allergy among children aged 3 to 6 in Wenzhou and Taizhou urban areas. 2. To obtain the self-reported rate of parents or guardians of food allergy among children aged 3 to 6 in Wenzhou and Taizhou urban areas. 3. To obtain the prevalence of food allergy among children aged 3 to 6 in Wenzhou and Taizhou urban areas by conducting skin prick test (SPT), blood eosinophil (EOS) count, total immunoglobulin E (tIgE) measurement and serum specific IgE (sIgE) determination in children who self-reported food allergy, and conducting the open food...

Esophageal String Test in Eosinophilic Esophagitis
The overall goal of this study is to develop a novel minimally invasive device, the Esophageal String Test (EST) to monitor esophageal inflammation during treatment of the rare disease Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) in a safe and efficacious manner. This study is broken down into 2 specific aims: Specific Aim 1: Identify the EoE Biomarker Panel (EBP) that will improve the sensitivity and specificity of the EST for documenting esophageal inflammation in a 1-hour time point. Specific Aim 2: Validate the ability of the EST EBP to monitor therapeutic efficacy in a 1-hour sampling time. Funding Source - FDA OOPD
