Key clinical point: Treatment with dupilumab led to histologic remission and clinical benefits in patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) as early as within 12 weeks.

Major finding: The median composite symptom score reduced from 5.5 to 0 (P = .000488) and the median peak eosinophil counts decreased from 44.5 eosinophils/high‐power field (eos/hpf) to 2 eos/hpf (P = .000977) in patients who received dupilumab for 0-12 weeks. However, there were no significant differences in changes in median composite symptom score (P = .1350) and peak eosinophil count (P = .0746) among patients who received dupilumab between 0-12, 12-24, and >24 weeks.

Study details: This retrospective study included 79 patients with EoE who received dupilumab for a median period of 22.7 weeks, and of whom 12 patients received dupilumab for 0-12 weeks.

Disclosures: This study did not receive any specific funding. The corresponding author J Leung declared serving as a consultant for several sources.
