San Raffaele EoE Biobank

Study Purpose

Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) is a immuno-mediated disease, characterised by a Th-2 food-antigen driven chronic inflammatory response of the esophagus. Main symptoms are dysphagia and food bolus impaction, frequently overlapping with most atypical and general symptoms like heartburn or regurgitation and difficulty to thrive in children. Overall incidence and prevalence of EoE are rapidly increasing. The complete comprehension of pathogenetic and molecular mechanism underlying this complex and relatively new disease is still to be conquered. For this reason, we created this EoE Biobank, in order to collect blood, oral and esophageal tissue samples of proven EoE patients to further exploit new insights of this disease.

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.

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.

NCT05896891
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

Every EoE patient pertaining to the EoE Unit of San Raffaele Hospital in Milan from 1st June 2023 will be enrolled in the EoE Biobank protocol after being adequately informed and after having signed the informed consent during a preliminary visit where also different clinical and demographic variable of each patient will be taken and stored in an anonymus database. Every patient, during the endoscopic examination performed according to clinical practice guideline for his management, will be asked to provide a sample of oral saliva, 5 mL of blood sample (directly withdraw from the previously placed venous catheter) and additional esophageal biopsies from the esophagus, normally performed for the diagnosis or the follow-up of the disease. The collected samples will be stored in Biological Resources Centre (BRC) of the host organization. These sample will later be analyzed "in vitro" in the context of dedicated protocols
