Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Percent Specificity of the Cytosponge

    Percent specificity of Cytosponge ability to detect Eosinophilic Esophagitis when compared to upper endoscopy and biopsies/swab testing. Cytology specimens will be reviewed by one pathologist who will read them blindly without knowledge of the results of the biopsy specimens. To calculate specificity: 100% the number of true negatives divided by the sum of the number of true negatives plus the number of false positives.

    Baseline

  • Percent Sensitivity of the Cytosponge

    Percent sensitivity of Cytosponge ability to detect Eosinophilic Esophagitis when compared to upper endoscopy and biopsies/swab testing. Cytology specimens will be reviewed by one pathologist who will read them blindly without knowledge of the results of the biopsy specimens. To calculate sensitivity: 100% the number of true positives divided by the sum of the number of true positives plus the number of false negatives

    Baseline

Study Arms (1)

Cytosponge/ brushing

EXPERIMENTAL

Subjects with eosinophilic esophagitis undergoing clinically indicated endoscopy and biopsy either for initial diagnosis or for monitoring the activity of their disease will be asked to swallow the cytosponge two hours prior to endoscopy.

Device: Cytosponge

Interventions

An ingestible gelatin capsule containing a compressed mesh attached to a string. The capsule is swallowed and once in the stomach, the gelatin dissolves and a spherical mesh of 3 cm diameter is released. The mesh is withdrawn through the mouth by the attached string and a cytologic specimen is collected.

Cytosponge/ brushing

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 65 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Adult patients between the ages of 18 and 65 with eosinophilic esophagitis including lactating or pregnant women undergoing clinically indicated endoscopy and esophageal biopsy.

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients for whom clinically indicated endoscopy is not safe. Patients who have small caliber esophagus, an esophageal stricture that will not permit passage of the gelatin capsule or are unable to swallow the capsule.
  • Vulnerable populations, such as those with diminished mental acuity, will be excluded.
  • Patients with known Lidocaine/Acetylcysteine allergies
