Purpose

This study is being done to see if patients that have eosinophilic esophagitis and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) would receive relief from taking the medication Nexium.

Primary Outcome Measures:

To estimate the proportion of patients with EE that have evidence of GERD. [ Time Frame: 6-12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Enrollment:	50
Study Start Date:	May 2008
Study Completion Date:	December 2010
Primary Completion Date:	December 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: 2 Nexium	Drug: Nexium 40 milligrams twice a day
Active Comparator: 1 Pulmicort Respules and Splenda	Drug: Pulmicort Respules and Splenda Pulmicort respules 2 ampules mixed with 1 gram packet of Splenda to be swallowed

Detailed Description:

Hypotheses:

There is a subset of patients with the diagnosis of EE who also have GERD.
Patients with both EE and GERD will respond symptomatically and histologically to aggressive gastric acid suppression with a proton pump inhibitor as monotherapy.
Swallowed budesonide suspension is effective in treating patients with EE who do not have evidence of GERD.

Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:	18 Years to 80 Years
Genders Eligible for Study:	Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:	No

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Patients ages 18-80.
Patients who carry the diagnosis of EE based on esophageal biopsies obtained within 18 months prior to enrollment with greater than 15 eosinophils per hpf (400 X magnification).
Patients who have moderate, severe, or very severe problems swallowing.

Exclusion Criteria:

Patients who are currently being treated for EE.
Patient who have used topical or systemic corticosteroid therapy for any reason over the past 4 weeks.
Patients who have been treated with acid-suppressing medications (PPI or H2 receptor antagonists) within 4 weeks prior to enrollment.
Patients with known allergies or hypersensitivity to proton pump inhibitors or corticosteroids.
Patients who have contraindications to the procurement of biopsies including patients how have known bleeding disorders, a history of bleeding diathesis, or who are currently using warfarin or clopidogrel.
Patients who have a contraindication to the performance of an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) including previous cardiopulmonary arrest during an endoscopic procedure.
Patients who have contraindications to the performance of ambulatory impedance 24-hour pH testing including patients with oropharyngeal abnormalities that would prohibit the safe passage of the transnasal catheter and patients who are currently using warfarin, have a history of bleeding disorders or bleeding diatheses.
Patients who are pregnant.
