Metabolomic Profiling of Eosinophilic Esophagitis
- Conditions
- Eosinophilic Esophagitis
- Interventions
- Procedure: Esophageal String Test
- Registration Number
- NCT03803527
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Colorado, Denver
- Brief Summary
A prospective longitudinal, observational study of adolescent and adults that will identify novel metabolites associated with dysphagia in Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE).
- 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.

Group Intervention Description EST Esophageal String Test All 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
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Brief Esophageal Dysphagia Questionnaire Time of Endoscopic Procedure 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).
