Trial summary

Celiac disease (CD) and eosinophilic esophagitis (EE) are distinct diseases of the gastrointestinal tract with specific clinico-pathological characteristics. In recent years, in the literature, several children who underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy for suspected CD, which was confirmed histologically, were… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Prevalence of Eosinophilic Esophagitis in Children With Celiac Disease and Prevalence of Celiac Disease in Children With Eosinophilic Esophagitis in a Tertiary Community Hospital

Celiac disease (CD) and eosinophilic esophagitis (EE) are distinct diseases of the gastrointestinal tract with specific clinico-pathological characteristics. In recent years, in the literature, several children who underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy for suspected CD, which was confirmed histologically, were also found to have coexistent EE. There are reports of coexistent CD and EE. We would like to see the prevalence of EE in children with CD and the prevalence of CD in children with EE in our population, and to do so would like to review medical records. Our objectives are to determine if children with celiac disease have a high prevalence of eosinophilic esophagitis.and to determine if children with eosinophilic esophagitis have increased risk of developing celiac disease.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Review of histopathology reports of esophageal biopsies to record the number of eosinophils per high power field.

    Measured: Retrospective chart review study, no contact made with patients, so no patient time is required, expected average of 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Celiac Disease and Eosinophilic Esophagitis, run by St. John Health System, Michigan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jul 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Review of histopathology reports of esophageal biopsies to record the number of eosinophils per high power field. (time frame: Retrospective chart review study, no contact made with patients, so no patient time is required, expected average of 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Jul 2014.
