Scientists seek better yardsticks for rare gut diseases

NCT ID NCT02523118

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study is looking at people with eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders, which cause inflammation in the gut. Researchers want to see if simple questionnaires can tell how well a patient is doing, compared to looking at tissue samples from endoscopies. The goal is to find better ways to measure disease activity and guide treatment. The study will include 1,350 children and adults.
