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. | |

Definitions:
Respiratory tract infection: includes acute sinusitis, sinusitis, nasopharyngitis, respiratory tract infection, respiratory tract infection viral, upper respiratory tract infection, viral upper respiratory tract infection, rhinitis.
Gastrointestinal mucosal candidiasis: includes esophageal candidiasis, oropharyngeal candidiasis, oral candidiasis.
