TEAEs will be summarized by dose/cohort
52 weeks
Dose Escalation- Severity of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs)
TEAEs will be summarized by dose/cohort and severity (mild, moderate, severe).
52 weeks
Dose Escalation- Change from baseline in morning serum cortisol levels
Cortisol will be will be summarized by dose/cohort and over time and compared to pre-dose values. A prolonged and clinically significant reduction in cortisol may indicate adrenal insufficiency.
52 weeks
Dose Escalation- Plasma concentrations of fluticasone propionate
Plasma concentrations of fluticasone propionate over time will be used to calculate PK parameters for each dose/cohort.
108 weeks
Dose Escalation- Change from baseline in physical examination results, BMI and weight change.
Physical examination results, BMI and weight will be summarized by dose/cohort and over time and compared to pre-dose values.
12 weeks
Randomised Dose Optimization- Change from baseline in EoEHSS grade and stage scored in 3 regions of the esophagus within the injection area (proximal, mid, distal)
The EoEHSS scores the stage and grade of 8 histologic items: eosinophil inflammation, basal zone hyperplasia, dilated intercellular spaces, eosinophil abscesses, surface layering, surface epithelial alteration, dyskeratotic epithelial cells and lamina propria fibrosis), on separate 4-point Likert scales. A composite EoEHSS grade and stage scores are calculated by summing the individual grade and stage items and dividing by the maximum score for evaluated items (range, 0-1). A lower score indicates improvement.
24 weeks
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome MeasureMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Dose Escalation- Peak eosinophil count (PEC)
Biopsy specimens will be used to evaluate peak eosinophil counts (PEC). A higher number of eosinophils indicates more severe histological disease.
36 weeks
Dose Escalation- Change from baseline in the Straumann Dysphagia Index (SDI) score
The SDI is a patient-reported outcome measure of dysphagia with a 7-day recall period. The SDI assesses the frequency and intensity of dysphagia on two separate 5-point and 6-point scales. Total SDI scores are calculated by adding the two sub-scores (range, 0-9), with a higher total score indicating more severe dysphagia.
52 weeks
Dose Escalation- Change from baseline in dysphagia measured on an 11 point Likert scale
The participant will assess the severity of their dysphagia symptoms (troubles to swallow) over the previous 7-days using an 11-point Likert scale where 0 = no trouble and 10 = most severe trouble swallowing.
52 weeks
Dose Escalation- Change from baseline in the EoE Endoscopic Reference Score (EREFS)
Endoscopic Reference Score (EREFS) scoring system is used to determine the severity of 5 endoscopic findings: edema, rings, exudates, furrows, and strictures. The total EREFS is calculated by summing the grades of the 5 individual endoscopic items (range, 0 to 9), with higher scores indicating more severe endoscopic disease.
36 weeks
Dose Escalation- Change from baseline in odynophagia measured on an 11 point Likert scale
The participant will assess the severity of their pain during swallowing over the previous 7 days using an 11 point Likert scale where 0 = no pain and 10 = most severe pain during swallowing.
52 weeks
Dose Escalation- Change from baseline in EoE Histology Scoring System (EoEHSS) score
The EoEHSS scores the stage and grade of 8 histologic items: eosinophil inflammation, basal zone hyperplasia, dilated intercellular spaces, eosinophil abscesses, surface layering, surface epithelial alteration, dyskeratotic epithelial cells and lamina propria fibrosis), on separate 4-point Likert scales. A composite EoEHSS grade and stage scores are calculated by summing the individual grade and stage items and dividing by the maximum score for evaluated items (range, 0-1). A lower score indicates improvement.

Total SDI scores are calculated by adding the two sub-scores (range, 0-9), with a higher total score indicating more severe dysphagia.
52 weeks
Randomised Dose Optimization- Change from baseline in the Dysphagia symptom questionnaire (DSQ) v4.0 and "Dysphagia days"
The DSQ is assessed daily over a period of 14 days and comprises four questions; one question on whether the participant has eaten solid food and three questions on the presence and severity of EoE dysphagia."Dysphagia Days" is defined as the number of days with a yes answer to the following question: During any meal today, did food go down slowly or get stuck in your throat or chest?
52 weeks

The EoE-IQ is a validated PRO instrument consisting of 11 questions assessing the impact of EoE on health related quality of life.
52 weeks

The PGIS reflects a participant's belief about the efficacy of treatment based on severity ranging from none to very severe.
52 weeks
Randomised Dose Optimization- Change from baseline in peak eosinophil count (PEC)
Biopsy specimens will be used to evaluate peak eosinophil counts (PEC). A higher number of eosinophils indicates more severe histological disease.
