Dupilumab for Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Diseases (ENGAGE Trial)

Summary
This trial is testing a new drug called dupilumab to see if it can help people aged 12 and older who have a condition that causes too many white blood cells to gather in their stomach and small intestine, leading to inflammation and damage. The study will compare the effects of dupilumab to another treatment and will also look at side effects and how the body reacts to the drug.
Who is the study for?
Adults and adolescents aged 12+ with active eosinophilic gastritis (EoG), not just duodenitis, can join this trial. They must have a history of EoG symptoms, documented diagnosis, and meet specific symptom severity scores. Exclusions include Helicobacter pylori infection, certain dietary changes before screening, major upcoming surgery, other gastric conditions like Crohn's disease or past dupilumab use.
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and effectiveness of an experimental drug called dupilumab in two different doses compared to a placebo for treating EoG with or without EoD. It will also examine how much drug is in the blood over time and if the body creates antibodies against it.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects from taking dupilumab may include allergic reactions, possible development of antibodies that could reduce drug effectiveness or cause additional side effects; detailed side effect profiles will be studied.

Other Research
Eosinophilic Gastritis (EoG) treatments often focus on reducing inflammation and modulating the immune response. Dupilumab, for example, inhibits IL-4 and IL-13 signaling pathways, which are key in the inflammatory process.
This is important for EoG patients because the disease involves the accumulation of eosinophils in the stomach lining, causing inflammation and damage. By targeting these specific cytokines, Dupilumab can help reduce eosinophil levels and alleviate symptoms.
Other common treatments include corticosteroids, which broadly suppress the immune system, and dietary management to avoid allergens that trigger eosinophil accumulation.
