New hope for swallowing: drug targets esophagus scarring in EoE
NCT ID NCT06101095
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a medication called dupilumab in 69 adults with eosinophilic esophagitis, a condition that makes swallowing difficult due to inflammation and scarring in the esophagus. Participants receive either dupilumab or a placebo for 24 weeks, then everyone gets dupilumab for another 104 weeks. The goal is to see if the drug improves how well the esophagus can stretch and function, helping people eat more easily.
