Active clinical trials for "Esophagitis"

This study is designed to investigate the effects of a 12 week course of intravenous QAX576 6mg/kg every 4 weeks in reducing the number of eosinophils in the esophagus of EoE patients by 75% or greater when compared with baseline.

The purpose of this study is to assess the ability of once-daily (QD) treatment with dexlansoprazole modified release (MR) 30 mg and 60 mg or placebo in maintaining healing of erosive esophagitis (EE).

This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of intravenous mepolizumab in pediatric subjects with eosinophilic esophagitis.

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EE) is a recently recognized entity. It has been thought to be related to both allergies and acid reflux. There have been reports that both swallowed, aerosolized steroids and proton pump inhibitors have been effective treatments. The researchers propose to directly compare the efficacy of aerosolized fluticasone to esomeprazole in the treatment of eosinophilic esophagitis. The hypothesis is that aerosolized fluticasone (Flovent) will be more effective in relieving symptoms of EE than esomeprazole (Nexium) treatment. Patients will undergo endoscopy, pH monitoring and manometry for diagnosis. Following diagnosis of EE by pathology (biopsy of esophagus), patients will be randomized to esomeprazole or swallowed fluticasone for 8 weeks. At the end of 8 weeks, subjects will be asked to repeat upper endoscopy with biopsies. Three questionnaires (dysphagia, gastroesophageal reflux disease [GERD], and allergy) will be completed by the patient at the first endoscopy and at the end endoscopy. The primary objective is to measure change in eosinophil infiltration of the esophagus in response to treatment of allergy (swallowed fluticasone) versus treatment for reflux (esomeprazole) in EE patients.

The purpose of this study is to study gastritis, GI symptoms during long term omeprazole treatment

The purpose of this study is to assess the ability of once-daily (QD) treatment with Dexlansoprazole modified-release (MR) 60 mg and 90 mg and placebo in maintaining healing of erosive esophagitis (EE).

The purpose of this study is to see if it is safe to give L-743,872 to men with candidal esophagitis, an AIDS-related yeast infection in the esophagus.

The purpose of this study is exploratorily evaluate the effect on gastric mucosal tissue and the safety of long-term administration (260 weeks: 5 years) of vonoprazan 10 mg or 20 mg in patients receiving maintenance treatment after healed erosive esophagitis (EE), and the curative effect of vonoprazan 20 mg versus lansoprazole in patients with EE.

The purpose of this research study is to test the safety of losartan potassium and see what effects (good and bad) it has on you and your eosinophilic esophagitis.

The primary objective of the study is to assess the clinical efficacy of repeat subcutaneous (SC) doses of dupilumab, compared with placebo, to relieve symptoms in adult participants with active, moderate to severe Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE). The secondary objectives of the study are: To assess the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of SC doses of dupilumab in adult participants with active, moderate to severe EoE To assess the effect of dupilumab on esophageal eosinophilic infiltration To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of dupilumab in adult participants with EoE
