Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic, allergic disease of the esophagus characterized clinically by symptoms of esophageal dysfunction (including vomiting, dysphagia, feeding disorders, food impaction and abdominal pain) which persist after treatment with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs).
Biomarker and diagnostic research for eosinophilic esophagitis has been reported in the published literature.
2 FDA-approved treatments are available for eosinophilic esophagitis, including DUPILUMAB (DUPIXENT, approved 2017) and BUDESONIDE (EOHILIA, approved 2024). An additional 12 compounds hold orphan drug designation.
