Key inclusion criteria
1. Male or female =18 years of age at the time of informed consent or assent

2. Each subject must read, understand, and provide consent on the ICF for this study and
be willing and able to adhere to study-related treatment regimens, procedures, and
visit schedule

3. Diagnosis or presumptive diagnosis of EoE that is confirmed during the Screening
period by histology that demonstrates =15 peak eos/HPF. In order to ensure that a
diagnosis can be made, at least 6 biopsies should be taken including both proximal and

(optional). HPF will be defined as a standard area of 235 square microns in a
microscope with 40x lens (0.3 mm^2) and 22 mm ocular.

1. Esophagogastroduodenoscopies and biopsies are to be obtained during the Screening
period

2. Biopsies will be read by a central pathologist

3. Esophagogastroduodenoscopies and biopsies performed outside the study will not be
accepted to meet eligibility criteria

4. Optional biopsies may be taken and processed locally for local use, if specified
in the local ICF. If serious pathology is unexpectedly encountered biopsies of
such lesions must be processed locally

4. Have a subject-reported history of =6 episodes of dysphagia in the 14 days prior to
baseline

5. Completion of the daily diary on at least 11 out of the 14 days during the 2-week

nasal corticosteroids

6. Have any mouth or dental condition that prevents normal eating (excluding braces)

desensitization injection or oral therapy is allowed as long as the course of therapy
is not altered during the study period)

15. Subjects who have initiated, discontinued, or changed dosage regimen of histamine H2

18. Have gastrointestinal bleeding or documented active peptic ulcer within 4 weeks prior
to Screening or entering a new study period

19. Have chronic infection such as prior or active tuberculosis, active chicken pox or
measles or absence of prior measles, mumps and rubella vaccine. Subjects with
tuberculosis exposure or who live in, or travel to, high endemic areas should be

21. Have a history or presence of Crohn's disease, celiac disease, or other inflammatory
disease of the gastrointestinal tract, including eosinophilic gastroenteritis

22. Have current drug abuse in the opinion of the Investigator.

23. Have current alcohol abuse in the opinion of the Investigator.

24. Female subjects who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant during
the study

25. Sexually active females of childbearing potential who do not agree to follow highly
effective contraceptive methods through the End of Study visit

26. Have received an investigational product, as part of a clinical trial within 30 days
(or 5 half-lives, whichever is longest) of Screening. Subjects who are currently
participating in observational studies or enrolled in patient registries are allowed
in this study

27. Have participated in a prior study with investigational product APT-1011

Summary
Brief summary
This is a 2-part randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study followed by an open-label
extension (OLE) of APT-1011 in adults with EoE.

Part A will evaluate the efficacy and safety of APT-1011 3 mg administered hora somni (HS; at
bedtime) for the induction of response to treatment (histologic and symptomatic) over 12
weeks.

Part B will evaluate histological relapse-free status in patients re-randomized to continue
APT-1011 or placebo (active treatment withdrawal) until Week 52.

Part C, the OLE, will continue until regulatory approval of APT-1011 or Sponsor termination
of the study.
