Could an allergy drug tame rare stomach inflammation?
NCT ID NCT05831176
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests dupilumab, an injectable drug already used for allergies, in 22 adults and teens with eosinophilic gastritis (stomach inflammation caused by too many white blood cells). The goal is to see if it reduces inflammation and improves symptoms over 6 months to a year. It's an early, open-label trial, so results are promising but not yet proven.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- dupilumab (Dupixent)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for eosinophilic gastritis, a rare stomach condition with limited therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial with only 22 participants and no placebo group, so results may not apply broadly. Side effects and long-term benefits are still unknown.

Key Inclusion Criteria: 1. Adolescent participants will only be enrolled at study sites in countries/regions as permitted by local regulatory authorities and ethic committees (ECs) 2. Documented endoscopic biopsy supporting a pathologic diagnosis of Eosinophilic gastritis (EoG) at least 3 months prior to screening 3. Screening endoscopic biopsies with a demonstration of eosinophilic infiltration for a diagnosis of EoG, as defined in the protocol 4. Completed at least 11 of 14 days of EoG/EoD-SQ eDiary data entry in the 2 weeks prior to the baseline visit 5. History (by participant report) of at least 2 episodes of EoG (with or without EoD) symptoms per week in 8 weeks before screening, as defined in the protocol 6. An average TSS of ≥ 20 calculated using data collected via the EoG/EoD-SQ eDiary per week for the 2 weeks prior to baseline. An average severity score of ≥4 (on a scale of 0-10) per week for the 2 weeks prior to baseline for at least 2 of the 6 symptoms, as defined in the protocol. Key Exclusion Criteria: 1. Body weight less than 40 kg at screening 2. Prior participation in a dupilumab clinical trial, or past or current treatment with dupilumab 3. Helicobacter pylori infection 4. Any esophageal stricture unable to be passed with a standard, diagnostic, upper endoscope or any critical esophageal stricture that requires dilation at screening 5. History of achalasia, Crohn's disease, eosinophilic colitis, ulcerative colitis, celiac disease, and prior gastric or duodenal surgery, as defined in the protocol 6. Other causes of gastric and, if applicable, duodenal eosinophilia or the following conditions: eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Churg-Strauss syndrome) or hyper-eosinophilic syndrome 7. History of bleeding disorders, esophageal or gastric varices that, in the opinion of the investigator, would put the participant at undue risk for significant complications from an endoscopy procedure 8. Initiation or change of a food-elimination diet regimen or re-introduction of a previously eliminated food group in the 4 weeks prior to the screening visit. Participants on a food-elimination diet must remain on the same diet throughout the study 9. Planned or anticipated use of any prohibited medications and procedures during the study 10. Planned or anticipated major surgical procedure during the study 11. Receiving tube feeding or parenteral nutritional at screening NOTE: Other Protocol Defined Inclusion / Exclusion Criteria Apply
