Part A: Percentage of Participants Achieving Peak Esophageal Intraepithelial Eosinophil Count of Less Than or Equal to (≤) 6 Eosinophils/High Power Field (Eos/Hpf) at Week 16
Peak esophageal intraepithelial eosinophil count was measured from esophageal biopsies. A total of at least 9 mucosal pinch biopsies were collected from 3 esophageal regions: 3 proximal, 3 mid, and 3 distal. The peak esophageal intraepithelial eosinophil count at each visit was the maximum of the quantities of eosinophils in the most inflamed hpfs across the 3 regions. If the quantity of eosinophils was missing for 1 or 2 esophageal regions, the peak eosinophil count was the maximum of the quantities of eosinophils from the region(s) where eosinophil quantities were available.

Part A: Change From Baseline in Mean Eosinophilic Esophagitis Histology Scoring System (EoE-HSS) Grade Score at Week 16
EoE-HSS is a validated histologic scoring system that measures other histological abnormalities in addition to density of eosinophilic infiltration. Severity (grade) and extent (stage) of abnormalities will be scored using a 4-point scale (0 normal; 3 maximum change). Higher total score indicated greater severity \& extent of histological abnormalities. For each of 3 esophageal regions (proximal, mid, and distal), the ratio of the sum of assigned score for each evaluated feature divided by maximum possible score (maximum value is 24) was calculated. The mean grade scores summed over the 3 regions was the final score used in primary analysis, the mean grade score ranged from 0 to 3, with higher score indicating more severe.

Part A: Normalized Enrichment Score (NES) for the Relative Change From Baseline in the Type 2 Inflammation Signature (T2INF) at Week 16
A Normalized Enrichment Score (NES) is a way to generate a single numerical value to represent a complex gene expression signature. Changes in NES score represented the overall changes in the expression of that molecular phenotype. The NESs calculated for T2INF reflect the expression at Week 16 relative to Baseline of the pre-specified gene set as a way to evaluate normalization of type 2 inflammation with treatment. For each subject, an NES of 0 indicates no change from baseline, a negative score shows a reduction in disease score (more like normal) and positive score shows worsening (more active disease). NES does not have a minimum/maximum score.

The PEESSv2.0-C consists of 20 items and has a one-month recall period. Each item had a 0-4 scale, which was transformed to 0-100 as follows: 0 = 0, 1 = 25, 2 = 50, 3 = 75, 4 = 100. The mean total PEESSv2.0 score was computed as the sum of all the item scores over the number of items answered. The total PEESSv2.0-C score ranges from 0 to 100 where higher scores indicate greater symptom burden among pediatric EoE participants. Values after first rescue treatment use were set to missing (censoring). WOCF approach was used for imputing the missing data due to rescue treatment/AE/lack of efficacy, and the MI approach was used for the missing data due to other reasons. LS mean SE from ANCOVA model.

A Normalized Enrichment Score (NES) is a way to generate a single numerical value to represent a complex gene expression signature. Changes in NES score represented the overall changes in the expression of that molecular phenotype. The NESs calculated for the EDP reflect the expression at post-baseline relative to Baseline of a gene set that is differentially expressed between esophageal biopsies from EoE participants compared to healthy controls as a way to evaluate normalization of the molecular pathology. For each subject, an NES of 0 indicates no change from baseline, a negative score shows a reduction in disease score (more like normal) and positive score shows worsening (more active disease). NES does not have minimum/maximum score.

Part C: Change in Body Weight for Age Percentile From Baseline up to Week 100
Body weight for age percentile was calculated based on the growth charts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for ages 0 to 20 years (for ages 2 to \<12 years) and World Health Organization (WHO) growth charts for ages 0 to \<2 years (for ages 1 to \<2 years). These charts included a set of smoothed percentiles along with CDC LMS (Lambda-Mu-Sigma) parameters to allow the calculation of percentiles.
Time frame: Baseline up to Week 100
Part C: Change in Body Mass Index for Age Z-score From Baseline up to Week 100
Difference in the 100-week change from baseline in BMI-for-age Z-score. BMI-for-age Z-scores are based on a reference growth chart (based on the growth charts from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention \[CDC\] for ages 0 to 20 years \[for ages 2 to \<12 years\]. A z-score of "0" represents the population mean. The Z-score indicates the number of standard deviations away from the mean of the reference population. A negative Z-score indicates values lower than the population mean while a positive Z-score indicates values higher than the population mean.
Time frame: Baseline up to Week 100
Part C: Change in Weight for Age Z-score From Baseline up to Week 100
Difference in the 100-week change from baseline in weight-for-age Z-score. Weight-for-age Z-scores are based on a reference growth chart (based on the growth charts from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention \[CDC\] for ages 0 to 20 years \[for ages 2 to \<12 years\]. A z-score of "0" represents the population mean. The Z-score indicates the number of standard deviations away from the mean of the reference population. A negative Z-score indicates values lower than the population mean while a positive Z-score indicates values higher than the population mean.
Time frame: Baseline up to Week 100
Part C: Change in Weight for Age Z-score From Baseline up to Week 160
Weight for age z-score indicates how much higher or lower a participant's weight for age is relative to a reference growth chart (based on the growth charts from CDC for ages 0 to 20 years \[for ages 2 to \<12 years\] and World Health Organization (WHO) growth charts for ages 0 to \<2 years \[for ages 1 to \<2 years\]). An increase in the mean change in weight for age z-score (increase in the SD from the reference growth chart) indicates an increase in weight for age relative to the reference.
Time frame: Baseline up to Week 160
Part C: Change in Weight for Height Z-score From Baseline up to Week 100
Difference in the 100-week change from baseline in Weight for height Z-score. Weight for height Z-scores are based on a reference growth chart (based on the growth charts from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention \[CDC\] for ages 0 to 20 years \[for ages 2 to \<12 years\]. A z-score of "0" represents the population mean. The Z-score indicates the number of standard deviations away from the mean of the reference population. A negative Z-score indicates values lower than the population mean while a positive Z-score indicates values higher than the population mean.
Time frame: Baseline up to Week 100
Part C: Change in Weight for Height Z-score From Baseline up to Week 160
Weight for height z-score indicates how much higher or lower a participant's weight for height is relative to a reference growth chart (based on the growth charts from CDC for ages 0 to 20 years \[for ages 2 to \<12 years\] and WHO growth charts for ages 0 to \<2 years \[for ages 1 to \<2 years\]). An increase in the mean change in weight for height z-score (increase in the SD from the reference growth chart) indicates an increase in weight for height relative to the reference.
