Summary

This trial is testing a new medication for people with Eosinophilic Esophagitis. The trial has two phases, induction and maintenance, each lasting 24 weeks. There are three treatment groups, one receiving a placebo and two receiving the trial medication.

Who is the study for?
Adults and adolescents aged 12-75 with a body weight over 40 kg, diagnosed with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), showing specific levels of eosinophils in the esophagus. They must have had symptoms like difficulty swallowing and not fully responded to acid reflux medication. Stable doses of certain other medications are required, and females capable of childbearing need negative pregnancy tests and must use contraception.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing CC-93538's effectiveness for EoE treatment against a placebo. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either CC-93538 or a placebo during a 24-week Induction Phase followed by a Maintenance Phase. The drug is administered subcutaneously once weekly or every other week depending on the phase.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects for CC-93538 aren't listed, common ones may include injection site reactions, potential allergic responses, gastrointestinal disturbances, headaches, fatigue, or flu-like symptoms as seen with similar treatments.
