Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Etrasimod Dose 1

Drug: Etrasimod
Participants will receive etrasimod tablet by mouth, once daily during the 24-week Double-Blind and 28-week Extension Treatment Periods.
Other Names:
  • APD334
  • Experimental: Etrasimod Dose 2

    Drug: Etrasimod
    Participants will receive etrasimod tablet by mouth, once daily during the 24-week Double-Blind and 28-week Extension Treatment Periods.
    Other Names:
  • APD334
  • Placebo Comparator: Placebo and Etrasimod

    Participants will receive etrasimod matching placebo tablet during the Double-Blind Treatment Period and etrasimod tablet during the Extension Treatment Period.

    Drug: Placebo
    Participants will receive etrasimod matching placebo tablet by mouth, once daily during the 24-week Double-Blind Treatment Period.

    Drug: Etrasimod
    Participants will receive etrasimod tablet by mouth, once daily during the 28-week Extension Treatment Period.
    Other Names:
  • APD334
  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Percent Change From Baseline in Esophageal Peak Eosinophil Count (PEC) [Baseline to Week 16]

    2. Number of participants with treatment emergent adverse events (AEs) [Up to approximately 56 weeks (24 weeks of Double-Blind Treatment Period, 28 weeks of Extension Treatment Period, and 4 weeks of Safety Follow-Up Period)]

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Absolute Change From Baseline in Dysphagia Symptom Questionnaire (DSQ) Score [Baseline to Week 16]

      The DSQ is used to measure the intensity of dysphagia. DSQ scores can range from 0 to 84, with a higher score indicating more-frequent or more-severe dysphagia.

    2. Absolute Change From Baseline in Esophageal PEC [Baseline to Week 16]

    3. Proportion of Participants With Esophageal PEC <15 Eosinophils per High Powered Field (eos/hpf) [Baseline to Week 16]

    4. Proportion of Participants With Esophageal PEC ≤ 6 eos/hpf [Baseline to Week 16]

    5. Number and Severity of Adverse Events (Double-Blind Treatment Period and Extension Treatment Period) [Up to approximately 56 weeks (24 weeks of Double-Blind Treatment Period, 28 weeks of Extension Treatment Period, and 4 weeks of Safety Follow-Up Period)]

      Safety outcomes will be based on adverse events, clinical laboratory, and other safety assessments

    Eligibility Criteria

    Criteria

    Ages Eligible for Study:
    18 Years to 65 Years
    Sexes Eligible for Study:
    All
    Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
    No
    Inclusion Criteria:
    • Have an eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) diagnosis prior to screening and histologically active disease with an esophageal peak eosinophil count (PEC) of ≥ 15 eosinophils per high powered field (eos/hpf)

    • Have dysphagia, defined as solid food going down slowly or getting stuck in the throat with an average frequency of ≥ 2 episodes per week over 2 weeks during the Screening period

    Inclusion Criteria for the Extension Treatment Period

    • Completion of the Week 24 study visit [including esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD)]

    • Compliance with study procedures during the Double-Blind Treatment Period as assessed by the Investigator

    • No notable safety concerns during the Double-Blind Treatment Period, as determined by the Investigator

    • Willing to comply with all study visits and procedures for the Extension Treatment Period

    Exclusion Criteria:
    • History of any of the non-EoE conditions or procedures that may interfere with the evaluation of or affect the histologic (eg eosinophilic gastritis), endoscopic (eg, high-grade esophageal stenosis), or symptom endpoints (eg, esophageal resection) of the study

    • Undergone dilation of an esophageal stricture within 12 weeks prior to Screening EGD

    • Use of corticosteroids for the treatment of EoE within 8 weeks prior to Screening EGD

    • Discontinue, initiate, or change dosing (dosage/frequency) of the following therapies for EoE within 8 weeks prior to Screening EGD. Participants on any of the following therapy need to stay on a stable regimen during study participation:

    1. Elemental diet

    2. EoE food trigger elimination diet

    3. Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy

    • Used any immunotherapy/desensitization including oral immunotherapy (OIT) or sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) within 12 months prior to the Screening EGD. Note: Stable (ie, ≥ 6 months prior to the Screening EGD) subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) is permitted. Participants on SCIT need to stay on a stable treatment during study participation

    • Used any protocol-specified immunomodulatory therapies within the protocol-specified timeframe prior to Baseline (eg, dupilumab, benralizumab, omalizumab, or infliximab within 12 weeks; a sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor modulator at any time)

    • Use of any investigational agent or device within 12 weeks prior to Baseline

    • Females who are pregnant
