Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the project is to assess the correlation between the results of high-resolution oesophageal manometry and specific biomarkers of inflammation (eotaxin 3, major basic protein, IL-5, IL-13, TGF-beta1) with symptoms of dysphagia, endoscopic and histological features and the assessment of quality of life in patients with eosinophilic esophagitis.

Research hypothesis: The results of high resolution esophageal manometry (HRM) and specific inflammatory biomarkers correlate with symptoms of dysphagia, endoscopic and histological features, and assessment of quality of life in patients with eosinophilic oesophagitis. HRM, along with the determination of specific inflammatory biomarkers present in the peripheral blood, may serve as a less invasive method of assessing the effectiveness of the treatment of eosinophilic oesophagitis in relation to the currently used endoscopic examinations.

Study Groups

patients with eosinophilic esophagitis

Each project participant completed a health and existing disease questionnaire and the GIQLI. Quantification of IL-5, IL-13 and TGF-β1 serum levels was performed using enzyme immunoassays. From each participant during the esophagogastroduodenoscopy, 6 oesophageal mucosa biopsy specimens were collected. The obtained material was sent for histopathological examination to assess peak eosinophil count (PEC). After completing medical examinations, the project participants were divided according to the histopathological criterion's fulfillment for the diagnosis of EoE. Patients with ≥15 eosinophils/HPF in the biopsy samples constituted the group of patients with EoE, while the remaining patients - the control group. EoE patients were then treated for 8 weeks with PPs - omeprazole in the dose of 20 mg twice daily. After 8 weeks, each patient in the EoE group again passed all the tests (the protocols were identical to those used for qualifying patients to the project).

High-resolution manometry

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

The parameters of high-resolution esophageal manometry will be compared between EoE patients and controls.

Serum biomarkers

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

The serum levels of IL-5, IL-13, TGF-β1, MBP and eotaxin 3 will be compared between EoE patients and controls.

Gastrointestinal Quality of Life index

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

The Gastrointestinal Quality of Life index (GIQLI) will be compared between EoE patients and controls.

Omeprazole 20 MG Oral Tablet

Intervention Type DRUG

The parameters of high-resolution esophageal manometry and serum levels of IL-5, IL-13, TGF-β1, MBP and eotaxin 3 will be compared in the group of patients with EoE at enrollment in the project and after 3 months of treatment with PPIs.
