Early EoE treatment linked to lower asthma risk in young children
Early dupilumab treatment was linked to lower asthma risk in young children with eosinophilic esophagitis, or EoE.
The finding came from an observational study using a large commercial insurance database.
The study examined whether treating EoE early was associated with children later developing asthma.
It found a reduced risk of developing asthma among children treated early.
Because the study was observational, it does not show that treatment prevented asthma.
The findings suggest a possible connection, but the study details provided do not say what happens next.
