NCT02778867
Brief Summary:
The purpose of this interventional study is to test and compare the effectiveness of two elimination diets-the 1-food elimination diet (1FED, milk only) and the 6-food elimination diet (6FED, milk, egg, wheat, soy, tree nut/peanuts, and fish/shellfish). The study will also test the effectiveness of swallowed glucocorticoid therapy in some of the study participants for whom diet therapy was not effective.
Detailed Description:
This study will consist of two phases, plus a screening period. During the screening period, subject eligibility for the study will be determined. During Phase 1, qualified participants will be randomly assigned to one of two elimination diet therapies--the 1FED or the 6FED. Participants will remain on the assigned dietary therapy for 6 weeks. At the end of 6 weeks of therapy, esophageal biopsies from participant's standard of care (i.e. normal, routine care) endoscopy will be evaluated to determine disease status. Participants whose EoE is in remission (i.e. \<15 eos/hpf) will be done with the study.
Participants whose EoE is still active (i.e. ≥15 eos/hpf) will have the option to continue into Phase 2 of the study. During Phase 2, participants who were on 1FED in Phase 1 will receive 6FED therapy for 6 weeks, and participants who were on 6FED during Phase 1 will receive swallowed glucocorticoid (SGC) therapy for 6 weeks. At the end of 6 weeks of therapy, esophageal biopsies from participant's standard of care (i.e. normal, routine care) endoscopy will be evaluated to determine disease status.
