Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial
Must have
Histologically active eosinophilic gastritis (EG) at time of screening, with a peak gastric count of ≥ 30 eos/hpf in at least 5 high power fields (hpfs) in the gastric antrum and/or body
History (by patient report) of moderate to severe EG symptoms
Must not have
Prior exposure to dupilumab
Current use of systemic steroids with daily dose > 10 mg for any reason or steroid burst for > 3 days within 1 month of screening
Timeline
Screening 3 weeks
Treatment Varies
Follow Up 12 weeks

Summary

This trial is testing whether dupilumab can treat eosinophilic gastritis by reducing the number of eosinophils in the stomach.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people aged 12-70 with Eosinophilic Gastritis, who can follow the study plan and have had stable symptoms and diet. They must not be on high-dose steroids, have certain infections or immune disorders, be pregnant/breastfeeding, or have a history of drug abuse or cancer.
What is being tested?
The trial tests Dupilumab injections against a placebo in patients with Eosinophilic Gastritis. Participants receive shots every two weeks for 12 weeks. Those completing this may join a 24-week extension to get Dupilumab without being compared to a placebo.
What are the potential side effects?
Dupilumab might cause allergic reactions, eye problems, inflammation of organs like the skin or lungs (eczema or asthma), injection site reactions, cold sores in your mouth or throat (oral herpes), joint pain (arthralgia), and headache.
