Dupilumab in adolescent eosinophilic esophagitis : Experience with fibrostenosis and EGID with esophageal involvement

We evaluated patients aged 12-20 on dupilumab 300 mg weekly for treatment of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) who had ≥1 follow-up endoscopy at a tertiary care pediatric hospital (n = 18). Fifty percent had inflammatory EoE (n = 9), 22% had fibrostenotic EoE (n = 4), and 28% had non-EoE eosinophilic gastrointestinal disease (EGID) with esophageal involvement (n = 5). Ninety-four percent discontinued topical corticosteroids (TCS) 2-4 weeks after starting dupilumab. Eighty-nine percent of inflammatory EoE patients had histological response (<15 eosinophils/high-powered field) after an average of 19.1 weeks. One hundred percent of patients with fibrostenotic disease exhibited histological response after 16.8 weeks. Of patients with non-EoE EGID, 60% achieved esophageal histological response after an average of 40.1 weeks. In a small cohort, dupilumab was very effective for adolescent inflammatory and fibrostenotic EoE despite rapid weaning of TCS. Dupilumab was also somewhat effective for non-EoE EGID with esophageal involvement; however, a longer duration of therapy was required.
