Clinical Trials

ausEE Inc. supports research by advising our members about current clinical trials they may be eligible to participate in through communications in our member newsletter, social media and here on our website. We know of several pipeline treatments in development and under clinical trial and share about their progress as trial data is reported through our social media and newsletter.

Clinical trials help researchers learn about treatments for eosinophilic diseases and enable participants the opportunity to access new treatments, contribute to medical research and take an active role in their healthcare. Trials and studies may include drug therapy and delivery, diagnosis and disease monitoring methods, dietary investigations and patient surveys.

Open Clinical Trials:

Eosinophilic Oesophagitis Study

Griffith University are examining the effect of a new treatment for eosinophilic oesophagitis. The trial is looking for adults across Australia. Participation will involve taking a supplement for 12 weeks and monitoring your symptoms. By taking part you will have the opportunity to be involved in the latest research for eosinophilic oesophagitis.

Please contact Rebecca at immunology-research@griffith.edu.au or 0422 381 424 for further information.

CC-93538 Study

If you are 12-75 years of age and diagnosed with eosinophilic oesophagitis (EoE), you may qualify to take part in a research study evaluating an investigational drug to see if it helps give relief of EoE symptoms.

Study CC-93538-EE-001 is a Phase 3, multicenter, multinational, randomized, double-blind, Placebo-controlled induction and maintenance study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CC-93538 in adult and adolescent participants with EoE.

There are multiple study locations in Australia.

Myth busting EoE clinical trials:

In this video Paula Dunn and Lorna Hastings from PPD provide an introduction to the clinical trial process internationally and in Australia, discuss the future of clinical trials and answer commonly asked questions people may have about participating in a clinical trial.

EGID Partners

Join EGID Partners and participate in EoE and EGID research!

EGID Partners is a new online cohort of patients with eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases (EGIDs). It is a way to conduct clinical research through surveys.

Unlike other registries, EGID Partners engages patients to guide the research. People without EGIDs are also encouraged to join so survey responses can be compared.
