Characteristics and Inflammatory Markers in Children With Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE)

Study Purpose

Single center observational and specimen banking study for children with eosinophilic esophagitis EoE to gauge natural history and inflammatory markers

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Observational
Eligible Ages 1 Year - 65 Years
Gender All
More Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria

  • - Present with esophageal stricture.
  • - Have characteristic endoscopic findings of EoE of pallor, linear furrows, lichenification, white plaques, or concentric rings.

Exclusion Criteria:

- None

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT03980886
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

Participants with a diagnosis of EoE are recruited from Rady Children's Hospital Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disorders (EGID) during routine clinic and/or endoscopy visits. Medical information including clinical symptoms, endoscopy, histopathology, medical and surgical history, lab and imaging findings, are entered into a UCSD database at each clinic or endoscopy visit. Blood and biopsy specimens are procured and utilized for analysis of inflammatory molecules and for isolation of structural cells. This protocol continues our clinical database and sample collection in children with EoE. The database provides a cohort of EoE patients for studies of natural history, therapeutic response, and disease progression. In a relatively new disease of increasing incidence, these studies will provide information on disease progression and the clinical characteristics of patients who have varying disease phenotypes as well as the associations between clinical phenotypes, molecular changes, and disease course. The procurement and storage of tissue, cells, and serum samples provides a repository for studies of EoE-related molecules and peripheral markers in clinically phenotyped patients. In addition, the study of these esophageal cells will provide an in vitro model system for assessing the molecular mechanisms of disease pathogenesis in EoE.
