DelveInsight's 'Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) - Epidemiology Forecast - 2032' report delivers an in-depth understanding of the historical and forecasted epidemiology of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) in the United States, EU5 (Germany, Spain, Italy, France, and the United Kingdom), and Japan.
According to the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD) and the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology (AAAAI), eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), also known as "asthma of the esophagus," is defined as a chronic, local immune-mediated disorder of the digestive system in which large numbers of a particular type of white blood cell called eosinophils are present in the esophagus, clinically and histologically characterized by symptoms related to esophageal dysfunction and eosinophil-predominant inflammation. The major symptoms include heartburn, regurgitation, esophageal stenosis, and dysphagia, which are more frequent in young adults and children.
The diagnosis of EoE depends on the clinical manifestations and endoscopic and histological findings in esophageal mucosa biopsies. Endoscopic findings in most patients include linear grooves on the esophagus wall, concentric rings, whitish exudates that resemble candidal infection, Schatzki rings, a reduction in the size of the esophagus, and superficial tears of the mucosa after endoscope introduction. A histological diagnosis is confirmed when there are ≥15 eosinophils per high-power field (HPF).
The main aim of the treatment of EoE is not only clinical improvement but also histological improvement to prevent the development of esophageal stricture. In 2020, the American Gastroenterology Association (AGA) and the Joint Task Force on Allergy-Immunology Practice Parameters (JTF) recommended certain guidelines on the management of EoE. The therapeutic approach against EoE consists of the "3D" concept: Diet, drugs, and dilation. The patient is treated based on the severity of their symptoms or endoscopic findings, such as esophageal narrowing or stricture. Histological improvement is generally used as the primary outcome in clinical trials rather than symptomatic improvement due to the difficulty in evaluating the symptoms objectively and uniformly. It is common for these patients to modify their diet or eating behavior to avoid dysphagia or an impaction.
PPIs are useful as a first-line treatment for patients with EoE. Corticosteroids are another effective therapy for the treatment of EoE. The formulation of the most commonly used corticosteroids, including budesonide, fluticasone propionate, and ciclesonide, influences histological remission. IL-4 and IL-13 inhibitors are promising in clinical trials, and recently the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved DUPIXENT (dupilumab) to treat EoE in adults and pediatric patients aged 12 and older weighing at least 40 kg (which is about 88 pounds), as the first treatment for EoE. Esophageal endoscopic dilation is most commonly used in adults with established esophageal strictures. According to recent EoE consensus statements and societal guidelines, periodic dilation is considered an acceptable alternative to medical or dietary therapy in some healthy adults with EoE.
The eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) epidemiology division provides insights into the historical and current patient pool and the forecast trend for every seven major countries. It helps recognize the causes of current and forecasted trends by exploring numerous studies and views of key opinion leaders. This part of the report also provides the diagnosed patient pool and their trends, along with assumptions undertaken.
The disease epidemiology covered in the report provides historical and forecasted eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) epidemiology segmented as the diagnosed prevalent cases of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), age-specific cases of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), and gender-specific cases of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). The report includes the prevalent scenario of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) in the 7MM covering the United States, EU5 countries (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom), and Japan from 2019 to 2032.
The epidemiology segment also provides the eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) epidemiology data and findings across the United States, EU5 (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom), and Japan.
The total diagnosed prevalent patient population of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) in the 7MM countries was more than 700,000 cases in 2021.
As per the estimates, the US had the highest prevalent patient population of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) in 2021. Among the EU5 countries, Germany had the highest diagnosed patient population of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), with approximately 58,000 cases, followed by France in 2021. On the other hand, Spain had the lowest diagnosed prevalent patient population of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), with nearly 33,000 cases in 2021.
We interview KOLs and obtain SMEs' opinions through primary research to fill the data gaps and validate our secondary research. The opinion helps understand the total patient population and current treatment pattern, and this will support the clients in potential novel treatments by identifying the overall scenario of the indications.
