What is EoE?
Eosinophilic oesophagitis (EoE) is a chronic, immune-mediated condition of the oesophagus. A type of white blood cell called an eosinophil builds up in the oesophagus, causing inflammation that over time can lead to scarring and narrowing, making swallowing increasingly difficult.
Common signs and symptoms
- Difficulty swallowing
- Food feeling stuck or slow to go down
- Food impaction
- Chest discomfort with eating
- Heartburn or reflux-like symptoms
- Needing to eat slowly or avoid certain foods
Could I be eligible?
You may be suitable for a current or future research study if you:
- Are 18 years or older
- Have been diagnosed with EoE
- Experience ongoing swallowing difficulties or related symptoms
- Have had previous endoscopy or treatment for EoE
- Can attend study visits and complete assessments
Registering your interest does not guarantee eligibility or enrolment in a clinical trial. A member of our research team will contact you to discuss further.
Before you decide
- Independently approved
- Every study is reviewed and approved by an independent Human Research Ethics Committee before it opens to participants.
- Entirely voluntary
- You can withdraw at any time, without giving a reason, and without affecting your ongoing care.
- No referral needed
- You can register your interest yourself. We will let your treating doctor know only if you want us to.
- Questions first, decisions later
- A research coordinator talks you through what the study involves and answers your questions before you commit to anything.
