Advances and Challenges in the Development of New and Novel Treatment Strategies for Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE)

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a long-term, immune-driven condition of the esophagus, which can lead to severe fibrostenosis of the esophagus, and the aim is to control clinical, endoscopic, and histopathologic disorder activity. Currently, treatment options include the use of proton pump inhibitors, topical steroids, and dietary elimination as basic treatments; however, the introduction of dupilumab has provided an additional therapeutic approach. Numerous biologic agents target specific immune pathways, which are promising pharmacologic options in managing this progressive disease. The final goal is to treat the target, with complete resolution as the final objective. To accomplish this, however, effective agents capable of modifying the disease process are required. In this review, we aimed to provide an overall review of EoE therapeutics options, as well as the benefits and safety of new treatment strategies for EoE.
