ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on improving the care and management of eosinophilic esophagitis, a condition that affects the esophagus and can cause difficulty swallowing and other symptoms. The trial is being conducted in collaboration with pediatric units in Norway and aims to explore new and existing tests that can help doctors diagnose and monitor the condition without needing as many invasive procedures, like endoscopies. This means that children and teenagers could spend less time on strict diets and have a more comfortable experience managing their condition.

To participate in this trial, individuals must either have a confirmed diagnosis of eosinophilic esophagitis or have symptoms that suggest they might have it. The trial is open to all genders and is currently recruiting participants. It is important to note that those with serious chronic health issues that would make anesthesia unsafe, or who do not give consent, will not be eligible to take part. Participants can expect to engage in a study that aims to make living with eosinophilic esophagitis easier and more manageable.
