EoE: Mucosal Impedance and Eosinophilic Esophagitis
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Do patients with eosinophilic esophagitis have baseline increased esophageal mucosal impedance?
And will treatment that reverses esophageal eosinophilia in patients, correct abnormalities in mucosal impedance?

---|---|
Experimental: Active Eosinophilic Esophagitis Subjects with an eosinophil count greater than 15 eosinophil per high-powered field (Eos/HPF) and do not have trouble swallowing during the clinical endoscopy |
Device: Mucosal Impedance
A tiny tube will be placed through the endoscope into the esophagus. 5 cm above where the stomach and esophagus meet for 5 seconds. At 10 cm above where the stomach and esophagus meet the catheter will be placed for 5 seconds. And at 20 cm above where the stomach and esophagus meet the catheter will be placed for 5 seconds.

Procedure: Upper Endoscopy
Esophagogastroduodenoscopy, also called by various other names, is a diagnostic endoscopic procedure that visualizes the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract down to the duodenum.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Esophageal Mucosal Impedance (MI) [baseline to one year]
An endoscopically placed probe measured electrical impedance of the esophageal lining by direct mucosal contact. Impedance measurements of the esophageal mucosa were expressed in ohms as the ratio of voltage to current Impedance measurements were obtained at 2, 5, 10, and 15 cm above the gastroesophageal junction.
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion criteria:
-
Adults ages 18-90 undergoing clinically indicated upper endoscopy
-
Patients with EoE, defined as dysphagia with histologic finding of greater than or equal to 15 eosinophils per high powered field on esophageal biopsy despite at least 6 weeks of twice daily proton pump inhibitor therapy
-
Patients undergoing clinically indicated upper endoscopy for indications other than dysphagia or Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) with normal appearing esophageal mucosa.
Exclusion criteria:
-
Medical conditions such as severe heart or lung disease that preclude safe performance of endoscopy
-
Patients with conditions known to be associated with esophageal eosinophilia, including Crohn's disease, Churg-Strauss, achalasia, and hypereosinophilic syndrome
-
Inability to read due to: Blindness, cognitive dysfunction, or English language illiteracy
