Not Applicable
Withdrawn
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.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Brief Esophageal Dysphagia QuestionnaireTime 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).
