Active clinical trials for "Esophagitis"

This is a 24-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled induction study of APT-1011 in adults (≥18 years old) with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) followed by a single-arm, open-label extension. This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of APT-1011 3 mg administered HS (hora somni, at bedtime) for the induction of response to treatment (symptomatic and histologic) over 24 weeks. The open-label extension will continue to evaluate long-term safety in subjects who consent to continue on open-label treatment with APT-1011.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of three doses of Florence oral suspension on changes of eosinophilic infiltration in esophageal biopsies.

To study the role of a novel endoscopic treatment technique (ARMA) in GERD patients who doesn't respond to PPI therapy (Proton Pump Inhibitor).

Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) is a food driven non-immunoglobulin E (IgE) mediated disease involving eosinophils and type 2 inflammation. Current therapies include diet and the off label use of medications including proton pump inhibitors, topical steroids or biologics. Food elimination creates a decrease quality of life in many children. The goal of the study is to examine a T2 inhibitor (dupilumab) can allow successful reintroduction of allergic EoE foods into the diet. This is a single site study, enrolling subjects 6 to 25 years of age.

The purpose of the study is to explore options for preventing and reducing symptoms of radiation esophagitis (RE). The researchers will also look what symptoms participants experience, and whether there are differences in weight loss in participants.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of up to 12 months (52 weeks) of once daily oral administration of BLI5100 in patients with non-erosive reflux disease (NERD) or healed erosive esophagitis (EE).

Metastatic spinal cord compression (MSCC) is a serious complication to metastatic cancer and when diagnosed life expectancy is short. Treatment is palliative radiotherapy (RT). Early esophageal toxicity is underreported but can seriously impact quality of life (QoL). The aim of the ESO-SPARE trial is to investigate if esophagus sparing RT can decrease patient reported esophageal toxicity without compromising ambulatory function or increase other toxicities. 200 patients with MSCC in the thoracic or cervical spine referred for RT will be randomized to either standard or esophagus/pharynx sparing RT. Subsequently participants will be followed with PROM (Patient Reported Outcome Measures) for 9 weeks. PROM-CTCAE questionnaires on upper GI toxicity and pain will be collected daily for 5 weeks and weekly for 4 weeks. Questionnaires evaluating QoL and physical function will be collected weekly for 9 weeks.

The goal of this validation study is to compare Spectrally Encoded Confocal Microscopy (SECM) Tethered Capsule Endoscopy (TCE) diagnosis of Eosinophilic Esophagitis to that of standard of care endoscopic biopsy.

Recurrent Barrett's esophagus (BE) that occurs at the rate of 12.4%/year is the Achilles heel of the endoscopic treatment of high-risk BE. Over time, after eradication, BE ultimately recurs in as many as 30-50% of the patients putting them at risk for esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), thereby undoing the benefits of an effective initial therapy. Also, recurrences need retreatments that increase costs and complications including strictures and refractory ulcerations. A therapy to prevent recurrent BE does not currently exist. Itraconazole with its ability to inhibit important molecular pathways related to BE development could enhance the long-term effectiveness of endoscopic eradication of high-risk BE, thereby promoting a long-term cure

Using confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE), gastrointestinal allergic reactions to certain foods in the duodenum will be evaluated on a cellular level. After that, a personalized exclusion diet will be followed based on the CLE results for 6 weeks, sham-controlled, in a cross-over fashion. Gastroscopy with esophageal biopsies will be repeated after each diet.
