Summary
This study tests a new, less invasive device called the Esophageal String Test (EST) to diagnose and monitor eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), a rare inflammatory condition of the esophagus. Instead of a traditional biopsy, patients swallow a small string that collects samples to measure inflammation. The goal is to make monitoring safer and easier for the 440 participants.
