What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Mean Number of Peak Eosinophils (Eos) Count Per High-power Field (Hpf) in Gastrointestinal (GI) Biopsies

    Blood samples were collected to assess eosinophils count. Baseline data are defined as last measurement collected on or prior the date of first dose for Induction Phase.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 16

Secondary outcomes (26)
  1. Induction Phase: Changes in Each of 5 Domain Scores of the Izumo Scale From Baseline at Week 16

    The Izumo Scale questionnaire assesses the comprehensive 5 different GI symptom domains during the past week and consists with 15 weekly questions (3 questions per 1 domain): Heartburn Symptoms domain(Questions1 through3), Gastric Pain Symptoms domain(Questions4 through6), Stomach Heaviness Symptoms domain(Questions7 through9), Constipation Symptoms domain (Question 10 through12), Diarrhea Symptoms domain (Questions13 through15). Each question is scored on a 6-point Likert scale of "0 = No trouble at all" to "5 = Can't stand it," and the score for each question within a domain is added to determine domain specific scores scaled from 0 to 15, with higher values indicating greater symptom severity.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 16

  2. Induction + Maintenance: Changes in Each of 5 Domain Scores of the Izumo Scale From Baseline at Week 48

Each question is scored on a 6-point Likert scale of "0 = No trouble at all" to "5 = Can't stand it," and the score for each question within a domain is added to determine domain specific scores scaled from 0 to 15, with higher values indicating greater symptom severity. Participants that discontinued Induction period without entering maintenance period are included in the CC-93538 360 mg QW arm.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing CC-93538 in people with Eosinophilic Gastroenteritis, run by Celgene at 25 sites in Japan.

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 4 inclusion and 4 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 14 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 25 sites in Japan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

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

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 Sep 2025). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Change From Baseline in Mean Number of Peak Eosinophils (Eos) Count Per High-power Field (Hpf) in Gastrointestinal (GI) Biopsies (time frame: Baseline and Week 16). 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 14 Sep 2026.
