ESTABLISHED SAFETY PROFILE

Data on the established safety profile of EOHILIA was derived from one of the largest clinical programs in EoE ever conducted in the U.S., including a diverse group of over 400 patients across varying patient types.1,2

The safety profile of EOHILIA was well studied in over 400 patients in Study 1 and Study 21

STUDY DESIGNS

The safety of EOHILIA in 410 adults and pediatric subjects 11-56 years of age with EoE was evaluated in two 12-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies (Study 1 and Study 2). In these studies, 263 subjects received EOHILIA.1

Most common adverse reactions in Study 11

Reported in at least 2% of patients taking EOHILIA and at a rate greater than in those taking placebo.
