Inclusion Criteria:

- Previously diagnosed and symptomatic isolated eosinophilic esophagitis.

- Relevant eosinophil tissue inflammation as demonstrated by a mean eosinophil load >=
20 eos/hpf in 8 biopsies at the baseline visit.

- Able to swallow placebo medication successfully under supervision in the clinic

- Free of all medications for EoE (including topical steroids) for at least 2 weeks
prior to baseline and free of systemic steroids for at least 90 days before
screening. A proton-pump inhibitor is allowed if required for treatment of secondary
acid reflux.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Other causes of esophagitis (GERD, peptic ulceration, infection etc.)

- Other causes of eosphagaeal or generalized eosinophilia (i.e. hypereosinophilic
syndromes, parasitic infection, GERD)

participation in the study will occur during the allergy season.

- History of abnormal gastric or duodenal eosinophilia (e.g. HES, Churg Strauss
