Summary

This study tested a drug called dupilumab in 102 children with active eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), a condition where the esophagus becomes inflamed, making swallowing painful. The goal was to see if dupilumab could reduce inflammation better than a placebo after 16 weeks. Researchers also checked for long-term safety and symptom improvement over up to 160 weeks.
