There are currently no FDA approved treatments for the chronic type 2 inflammatory disease damaging esophagus except dupixent. Patients treated weekly with dupixent 300 mg over a 24-week treatment period experienced a reduction in symptoms, esophagal inflammation and abnormal endoscopic findings in the esophagus. The trial demonstrated safety results consistent with the known safety profile of dupixent in its approved indications. The EoE trial is ongoing with additional patients enrolling in part B as well as patients continuing in a 28-week extended active treatment period after completition of part A or part B. Breakthrough therapy is designed with the aim of expedeting the development and review of drugs that target serious conditions. Drugs qualifying for this designation must show preliminary clinical evidence that it may demonstrate a substantial endpoints over available therapies or over placebo if there are no available therapies. The potential use of dupixent in eosinophilic esophagitis is currently under clinical development.

Dysphagia is the most common symptom in patients suffering from achalasia. The causes of achalasia are still unknown. Achalasia is associated with abnormalities of oesophageal peristalsis. Achalasia treatment involves the removal of obstructions caused because the lower oesophageal sphincter muscle fails to relax.

Drugs such as isosorbide or nifedipine can provide some relief to patients suffering from achalasia. It is estimated that approximately 70% of achalasia cases are more effectively treated by the enlargement of the lower oesophageal sphincter muscle through a procedure known as pneumatic balloon dilation. Achalasia generally affects adults aged between 25 and 60 years. However, it is likely to occur at any age, including childhood. The symptoms of achalasia appear gradually. People suffering from achalasia are expected to be at the risk of developing oesophageal cancer.
