Metabolomics for Biomarker Discovery in Children With EoE

NCT03107819 | Completed DMC

• 1 other identifier: HSC-MS-16-1078
• Study Type: observational

Brief Summary

The investigators are seeking to enroll 8 children ages 2-18 already undergoing upper endoscopy. For the purposes of research, a peripheral blood and clean catch urine specimen will be obtained to measure plasma and urine metabolomics. The data will be used to determine if there are any key differences in the metabolite profile of subjects found to have eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) versus non-EoE subjects. Once these metabolites are identified, the investigators will seek to enroll many more subjects for a validation phase.

Conditions

Eosinophilic Esophagitis

Keywords

Plasma metabolomics; Urinary metabolomics; Metabonomics; Biomarker discovery

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Plasma and urine metabolomics

  parts per million

  baseline

Study Arms (1)

Pediatric patients undergoing EGD

Subjects ages 2-18 years undergoing upper endoscopy (EGD) will submit a blood and urine specimen for plasma and urine metabolomics profiling.

Diagnostic Test: Plasma and urine metabolomics

Interventions

Plasma and urine metabolomics DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Through the use of high-pressure liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry, quantitative measurements of targeted metabolites associated with amino acids, methylation, acetylation and the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle will be analyzed on the blood and urine specimens.

Pediatric patients undergoing EGD

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 2 Years - 18 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Child (0-17), Adult (18-64)
• Sampling Method: Probability Sample

Study Population

Children ages 2-18 years already undergoing upper endoscopy (EGD)

You may qualify if:

• Pediatric patients, ages 2-18 years, undergoing EGD with biopsies of the esophagus.
• Children with known EoE will only be enrolled if his/her biopsy on the day of specimen collection demonstrates ≥15 eosinophils (eos) per high power field (hpf).

You may not qualify if:

• Presence of other disorders associated with similar clinical, histological or endoscopic features, such as proton pump inhibitor (PPI)-responsive esophageal eosinophilia, esophageal eosinophilia associated with gastroesophageal reflux, Crohn's disease, infectious esophagitis (i.e. herpes simplex virus or candida), drug-associated esophagitis, collagen vascular disease, hypereosinophilic syndrome and eosinophilic gastroenteritis.
• Children with known EoE and biopsy demonstrating \<15 eos/hpf at the time of specimen collection.
• Inability to provide a clean catch urine specimen (i.e. not toilet-trained).
