NCT02778867

Brief Summary

The purpose of this interventional study is to test and compare the effectiveness of two elimination diets-the 1-food elimination diet (1FED, milk only) and the 6-food elimination diet (6FED, milk, egg, wheat, soy, tree nut/peanuts, and fish/shellfish). The study will also test the effectiveness of swallowed glucocorticoid therapy in some of the study participants for whom diet therapy was not effective.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Percent of Participants in Histologic Remission (<15 Eos/Hpf)

    Percent of participants in histologic remission in 1FED versus 6FED groups. Remission is defined as esophageal peak eosinophil count \< 15 eosinophils per high powered field (eos/hpf)

    6 weeks after starting treatment

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Percent of Participants in Complete and Partial Histologic Remission

    6 weeks after starting treatment

  • Percent of Participants Following SGC in Histologic Remission in Phase 2

    6 weeks after starting treatment

  • Percent of Participants Following 6FED in Histologic Remission in Phase 2

    6 weeks after starting treatment

  • Change From Baseline in Peak Eosinophil Count

    6 weeks after starting treatment

  • Change From Baseline in Total Histology Scoring System

    6 weeks after starting treatment

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (4)

1-Food Elimination Diet (1FED)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Participants eliminate milk from the diet in Phase 1

Other: 1 Food Elimination Diet Therapy

6-Food Elimination Diet (6FED)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Participants eliminate milk, egg, wheat, soy, nuts, fish from the diet in Phase 1

Other: 6 Food Elimination Diet Therapy

1FED Non-Responders (6FED)

OTHER

Participants that fail to respond to 1FED in Phase 1 eliminate milk, egg, wheat, soy, nuts, fish from the diet in Phase 2

Other: 6 Food Elimination Diet (after 1FED failure)

6FED Non-responders (SGC)

OTHER

Participants that fail to respond to 6FED in Phase 1 administer swallowed glucocorticoids (SGC) (Flovent HFA) 880 mcg twice daily in Phase 2

Drug: Fluticasone Propionate, 880 mcg twice daily (after 6FED failure)

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 60 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • Have diagnosis of EoE (based on consensus criteria)
  • Have histologically confirmed active disease \>15 eosinophils/hpf in either distal or proximal esophagus within 12 weeks of screening visit
  • Symptomatic (have experienced symptoms within the last month prior to enrollment)
  • Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) confirmation
  • Have a negative urine pregnancy test at screening if of childbearing potential

You may not qualify if:

  • Have been treated with topical swallowed steroids within the last 2 months or systemic steroids within the last 3 months
  • Have pathological eosinophilia in segments of the GI tract other than the esophagus determined by local review
  • Have been diagnosed with a GI malabsorption disorder (i.e., Inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease) or Celiac disease
  • Are currently on dietary therapy strictly avoiding milk or on a 6FED
  • Have concurrent H pylori gastritis or parasitic infection
  • Have history of anaphylaxis to milk (with current avoidance of milk)
  • Have previously failed strict dietary therapy clearly documented with one of these regimens or topical steroid treatment (i.e. have achieved histological remission of \<15 eos/hpf after having been on fluticasone or \>1mg budesonide per day).
  • Use of investigational drugs within 4 weeks (one month) prior to enrollment
  • Are concurrently receiving any of the prohibited medications for the study
  • On immunotherapy for pollen (if not on maintenance therapy) or immunoglobulin-E (IgE) -mediated food allergy
  • Past or current medical problems or findings from physical examination or laboratory testing that are not listed above, which, in the opinion of the investigator, may pose additional risks from participation in the study, may interfere with the participant's ability to comply with study requirements or that may impact the quality or interpretation of the data obtained from the study.
