Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 75 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Signed informed consent,
  • Male or female patients, 18 to 75 years of age,
  • Confirmed clinico-pathological diagnosis of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) according to established diagnostic criteria
  • Clinico-pathological remission of EoE,
  • A documented trial with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in order to rule out PPI-responsive esophageal eosinophilia,
  • Negative pregnancy test in females of childbearing potential at baseline visit.

You may not qualify if:

  • Clinical and endoscopic signs of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD),
  • History of abnormal results in case of an optionally performed pH-monitoring of the distal esophagus,
  • Patients with PPI-responsive esophageal eosinophilia
  • Achalasia, scleroderma esophagus, or systemic sclerosis,
  • Other clinically evident causes than EoE for esophageal eosinophilia,
  • Any concomitant esophageal disease and relevant gastro-intestinal disease (celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease, oropharyngeal or esophageal bacterial, viral, or fungal infection \[candida esophagitis\]),
  • Any relevant systemic disease (e.g., AIDS, active tuberculosis),
  • If careful medical monitoring is not ensured: cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis, active peptic ulcer disease, glaucoma, cataract, or infection,
  • Liver cirrhosis or portal hypertension,
  • History of cancer in the last five years,
  • History of esophageal surgery at any time or of esophageal dilation procedures within the last 8 weeks prior to screening visit,
