Eosinophilic Esophagitis – Unmet Need – Unmet Need – Eosinophilic Esophagitis (US/EU)

Standard treatments for eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) typically include proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and topical steroids. Although these therapies can alleviate EoE symptoms, their remission rates vary. Recently, new therapies have been introduced for the treatment of EoE, offering hope to patients. These agents include Takeda’s Eohilia (budesonide oral suspension), which received FDA approval in 2024, and Sanofi / Regeneron’s Dupixent (dupilumab), which received FDA approval in 2022 and EC approval in 2023. Additionally, the EC approved Dr. Falk’s Jorveza (budesonide oral tablets) in 2018. The treatment landscape for EoE is evolving; several early- and late-phase agents (e.g., cendakimab, tezepelumab, APT-1011) offer targeted therapeutic approaches. Understanding prescriber perceptions of the available options and the drivers behind prescribers’ clinical decision-making for the indication can help drug developers identify levers for new product positioning and differentiation.
