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?

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
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.
Other Names:
  • ph impedance
  • ph monitor
  • 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.
    Other Names:
  • Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD)
  • Experimental: Inactive Eosinophilic Esophagitis

    Subjects with an eosinophil count less 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.

    Subjects are those undergoing clinically indicated upper endoscopy for nonesophageal symptoms in whom a normal-appearing esophagus was found at the time of endoscopy

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. 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.
