Higher score indicates greater severity and extent of histological abnormalities.
- Absolute Change From Baseline in EoEHSS Mean Stage Score at Week 24 [ Time Frame: Baseline and week 24 ]
Severity (grade) and extent (stage) of esophageal abnormalities were scored by blinded, central pathologists using a 4-point scale (0 normal; 3 maximum change) for eight features: eosinophil density, basal zone hyperplasia, eosinophil abscesses, eosinophil surface layering, dilated intercellular spaces, surface epithelial alteration, dyskeratotic epithelial cells and lamina propria fibrosis (absent/present).

NES reflects the degree to which the activity level of a set of disease transcripts is overrepresented at the extremes (top or bottom) of the entire ranked list of transcripts within a sample and is normalized by accounting for the number of transcripts in the set. An NES of 0 indicates no change from baseline, a negative score reflects a reduction in the disease score (more like normal) and a positive score reflects worsening (more active disease).

The EoE-IQ measures impact of EoE on emotional, social, work & school, & sleep aspects. Participants were asked to respond to 11 questions based on experience living with EoE during past 7 days. Response to each item is on a 5-point scale (1=Not at all [impacted] 2=A little, 3=Somewhat, 4=Quite a bit, 5=Extremely [impacted]). The average score is the sum of non-missing responses divided by the number of items with non-missing responses.

Response to the severity of each symptom based on the worst experience in the past 7 days is on a scale of 0 to 10 (higher is worse). The EoE-SQ severity score is calculated as the sum of the severity scores from questions 1 to 3 (chest pain, stomach pain, burning feeling in chest), which could range from 0 to 30; a higher score is indicative of more severe symptoms.

The EoE-SQ frequency score is calculated as the sum of the frequency scores from the 5 items which could range from 5 to 25; a higher score is indicative of higher frequency of symptoms.
