An Intervention Study to Improve Therapeutic Compliance in Adult Patients With Eosinophilic Esophagitis.

This study is investigating whether additional education, more frequent follow-up visits, and reminder prompts can help adults with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) — a chronic inflammatory condition of the swallowing tube — better stick to their long-term treatment plans. EoE requires ongoing medication such as proton pump inhibitors or topical corticosteroids, but many patients struggle to take these consistently. Adults aged over 18 with a confirmed EoE diagnosis who are currently on or about to start maintenance therapy are eligible, provided they can communicate in Dutch or English and do not have a severe unstable illness. Participants will receive enhanced educational materials and more regular clinic contact over the study period to assess whether adherence to treatment improves. This summary was prepared to help patients understand the study in plain language.
