- Any concomitant esophageal disease and relevant active gastro-intestinal disease
- abnormal laboratory values, presence of or suspected relevant concomitant disease(s), that could affect study-specific assessments and/or their evaluation, or might compromise patient's safety and/or compliance (e.g. severe organic or psychiatric diseases/disorders, infectious diseases associated with clinical signs, liver cirrhosis, portal hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis, active peptic ulcer disease

Primäre und sekundäre Endpunkte
Main Objective: To prove the non-inferiority of 1?x?2?mg/d vs. 2?x?1?mg/d budesonide orodispersible tablets for the induction of histological remission in adult patients with active eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE);Secondary Objective: - To further assess EoE-associated clinical, endoscopic, and histological findings after 6?weeks treatment with budesonide orodispersible tablets,
- To study safety and tolerability as assessed by adverse events and laboratory parameters,
- To assess patients? quality of life;Primary end point(s): Proportion of patients with histological remission ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: week 6 (ICTRP)

Secondary end point(s): 1. Change in the peak eos/mm2 hpf from baseline to week?6 (LOCF),

2. Change in the severity of dysphagia

3. Change in the severity of odynophagia

4. Change of overall severity of EoE symptoms

5. Change in the total weekly Eosinophilic Esophagitis Activity Index;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: week 6 (for secondary endpoints 1 - 5) (ICTRP)
