Characteristics of Eosinophilic Gastritis, Enteritis, and Colitis in a Multi-Site Cohort

September 27, 2021 updated by: Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati

Demographics, Clinical Characteristics, and Pathology of Eosinophilic Gastritis, Enteritis, and Colitis in a Multi-Site Cohort

The purpose of this study is to investigate features of patients with Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disorders (EGIDs) other than Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) alone, including Eosinophilic Gastritis (EG), Eosinophilic Gastroenteritis (EGE), and Eosinophilic Colitis (EC).

Study Population

Male or female patients of any age with a diagnosis of eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorder (EGID) other than eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) alone, including eosinophilic gastritis (EG), eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EGE), and eosinophilic colitis (EC).

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of an EGID including EG, EGE, and/or EC. Subjects with EoE can be included if they also have another EGID.
  • Clinical symptoms of gastrointestinal dysfunction.
  • Findings of increased eosinophils on tissue biopsy at the time of diagnosis, before treatment initiated.
  • Exclusion of other causes of gastrointestinal eosinophilia.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Gastrointestinal eosinophilia caused by another disorder.
  • Diagnosis of EoE without another EGID.
  • Insufficient medical record or pathology data available to support an EGID diagnosis.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Mucosal eosinophilia (eos/hpf)
Time Frame: Duration of funding, approximately 5 years
Mucosal eosinophil levels are measured as eosinophils per high power field (eos/hpf). The primary outcome measure is to determine the change in mucosal eosinophil level (eos/hpf) and to determine if the change in mucosal eosinophil level in eos/hpf correlates with other measures of disease activity.
Duration of funding, approximately 5 years
