Summary

This study was designed to check if swallowed corticosteroids, used to treat eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) in children aged 5-12, affect bone density and growth over one year. It planned to compare these children to healthy age-matched controls. However, the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.
