About this study

Official title: Metabolomic Profiling of Eosinophilic Esophagitis Patients With Dysphagia for Biomarker Discovery

A prospective longitudinal, observational study of adolescent and adults that will identify novel metabolites associated with dysphagia in Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE).

Read the detailed description

In this study, the investigators seek to understand whether a metabolomic profile obtained from esophageal samples correlate with the symptom of dysphagia in adolescent and adults. The investigators hypothesize that intraluminal secreted metabolite(s) will change during episodes of dysphagia. The aim of the study will be to use a novel method of producing esophageal luminal samples, the esophageal string test, to capture esophageal metabolites when a patient is and is not experiencing dysphagia.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Esophageal String TestProcedure or surgery

    An EST will be performed for a 1hour sampling period on the same day as the scheduled clinic visit. Subjects will be asked to swallow a capsule and the attached EST string will be taped to the cheek with tegaderm tape. At the completion of the 1-hour sampling period, the EST will be removed and it will immediately be processed and cryopreserved for metabolomics profiling.

ESTExperimentalAll subjects enrolled into the study will: * Complete a clinical history * Have vitals obtained * Complete Patient-reported outcomes * Have Esophageal mucosal biopsies collected as part of standard of care at the time of the most recent endoscopy to report the peak eosinophilia per hpf. * Complete the Esophageal String test

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Brief Esophageal Dysphagia Questionnaire

    Positive Dysphagia symptoms Measured by Brief Esophageal Dysphagia Questionnaire. The questionnaire asks questions about dysphagia symptoms and the scale is from 0 (rarely/never) to 5 (several times per day).

    Measured: Time of Endoscopic Procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Esophageal String Test in people with Eosinophilic Esophagitis, run by University of Colorado, Denver.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Oct 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Brief Esophageal Dysphagia Questionnaire (time frame: Time of Endoscopic Procedure). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Oct 2019.
