Trial Outcomes & Findings for Mucosal Impedance and Eosinophilic Esophagitis (NCT NCT01953575)

NCT ID: NCT01953575

Last Updated: 2020-04-15

Results Overview

An endoscopically placed probe measured electrical impedance of the esophageal lining by direct mucosal contact. Impedance measurements of the esophageal mucosa were expressed in ohms as the ratio of voltage to current Impedance measurements were obtained at 2, 5, 10, and 15 cm above the gastroesophageal junction.

Active Eosinophilic Esophagitis
Subjects with an eosinophil count greater than 15 eosinophil per high-powered field (Eos/HPF) and do not have trouble swallowing during the clinical endoscopy Mucosal Impedance: A tiny tube will be placed through the endoscope into the esophagus. 5 cm above where the stomach and esophagus meet for 5 seconds. At 10 cm above where the stomach and esophagus meet the catheter will be placed for 5 seconds. And at 20 cm above where the stomach and esophagus meet the catheter will be placed for 5 seconds. Upper Endoscopy: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy, also called by various other names, is a diagnostic endoscopic procedure that visualizes the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract down to the duodenum.
