Study summary

The study team is conducting this project to learn more about how patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) like to use and receive educational materials about treatment options and treatment decision making.

This study will assess the efficacy of a decision support intervention to make decisions about treatment and disease management for patients with EoE and will assess the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention to inform future R01-level studies.

The study team hypothesize that deploying the intervention will be feasible, and it will demonstrate high acceptability among EoE patients. Additionally, that patients that use the intervention (vs general education about EoE) will report greater treatment knowledge, increased readiness to choose a therapy, adherence to therapy, and follow-up.

  • Able to speak and read English.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

Interventions

  • BehavioralGeneral education control

    Participants will complete an online survey before reviewing education material for eosinophilic esophagitis, prior to patient's clinical physician's appointment (this appointment is a standard of care visit). Participants will complete a follow-up survey approximately 3 months after the clinic appointment.

  • BehavioralDecision support tool

    Participants will complete an online survey before reviewing tailored educational materials for eosinophilic esophagitis prior to patient's clinical physician's appointment (this appointment is a standard of care visit). The intervention is a tailored, electronic decision support intervention with a patient-facing decision aid (DA) with three components-EoE knowledge/education, values clarifications, and communication. Tailored feedback from the patient will be given to the patient's provider prior to the visit to facilitate shared decision-making in the visit. Participants will complete a follow-up survey approximately 3 months after the clinic appointment.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Feasibility: measured as the proportion of eligible patients that consent to participate in the study

    The study aims to achieve at least 20% consented for eligible patients.

    Time frame: Recruitment period approximately 18 months

  2. Acceptability: measured on a 4-point Likert scale

    Measured on a 4-point Likert-scale (1) Very Unhelpful to (4) Very Helpful. Analyzed as high scores indicate more helpful.

    Time frame: Approximately 4 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Effectiveness (within-subjects)

    Objective eosinophilic esophagitis knowledge measured on 8 true/false/I don't know questions where wrong or "I don't know" answers are given 0 points and correct answers are given 1 point. Minimum points=0 and Maximum points=8

    Time frame: Day 1 up to approximately 1 month (after consent prior to standard of care clinic visit)

  2. Effectiveness (between-subjects)

    Objective eosinophilic esophagitis knowledge measured on 8 true/false/I don't know questions where wrong or "I don't know" answers are given 0 points and correct answers are given 1 point. Minimum points=0 and Maximum points=8

    Time frame: Approximately 4 months

  3. Preparation for Decision Making (PrepDM) scale

    Preparation for Decision making (PrepDM scale) score is a 10-item questionnaire and is scored on a 0-100 scale, where higher scores indicate participants being well prepared to make decisions after reviewing a decision aid (DA). The Prep-DM scale may be adapted slightly to meet the needs of the target population and the developed decision support tool.

    Time frame: Approximately 4 months

  4. Completion rates

    Measured as the proportion of people that consented and completed all study measures, the pre-test, post-test, and 3-month follow-up survey

    Time frame: Approximately 4 months

Timeline

1 registry update since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedDate before it movedWhere the date was before it movedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Apr 2025 to primary completion in Sep 2026, 17 months.

Of 23 interventional studies with no phase under Eosinophilic Esophagitis, half reached primary completion within 34 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 24 and three quarters within 41. This study's 17 months is below that.

Since we started tracking on Sep 25, 2026, the dates moved once, on Oct 15, 2026: primary completion Oct 2026 → Sep 2026 and completion Dec 2026 → Jan 2027.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
