NCT ID NCT07560462
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a budesonide gel, taken orally twice a day for 12 weeks, can reduce the number of endoscopic balloon dilations needed for children with esophageal strictures. The trial will enroll 32 children under 12 who have a narrowing where their esophagus was surgically repaired. The goal is to see if the gel helps them swallow effectively without needing as many procedures.
