Eosinophilic Esophagitis study: EP-104GI
Official title A Trial to Evaluate EP-104GI in Adults With Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE).
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05608681
What this study is testing
What is EP-104GI?
EP-104GI is an investigational extended‑release fluticasone propionate suspension being studied as a potential treatment for eosinophilic esophagitis. is designed to deliver fluticasone propionate directly to the gastrointestinal tract in a sustained‑release form.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment. It is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- The study looks at how safe and effective EP-104GI is and how it behaves in the body. It also checks how the drug changes the disease in the esophagus using endoscopy and tissue samples.
- Who it's for
- Adults who have been diagnosed with eosinophilic esophagitis.
- What's involved
- Participants will receive either EP-104GI or a placebo during an endoscopy at the start of the study. They will have blood and urine tests, fill out symptom questionnaires, and undergo several endoscopies with biopsies at scheduled visits.
- Time commitment
- The study lasts about 52 weeks with 8–10 visits, plus up to 4 extra visits for a special blood‑level study, for a total of up to 108 weeks for some participants.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
- Which group you join is decided by chance.
