Barrett's Esophagus Clinical Trials

Assess the sensitivity and specificity of a panel of DNA methylation markers in the non-endoscopic detection of Barrett's Esophagus as well as dysplasia/carcinoma using a capsule sponge device.

The progression of Barrett's Esophagus will be studied over time using tethered capsule endomicroscopy imaging and will be performed at 5 different clinical centers in the US, namely: Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH),(MA), Mayo Clinic Jacksonville (FL), Mayo Clinic Rochester (MN), Columbia University Medical Center (NY), Kansas City VA Medical Center ...

Inlet patch is a congenital anomaly of the upper oesophagus, consisting of stomach lining that is in an aberrant position. Prevalence is up to 10% on endoscopy studies and 5% on post mortem studies. There is thought to be a link with another condition of the lower oesophagus called Barrett's ...

36 subjects including 12 healthy volunteers, 12 patients with Barrett's Esophagus and 12 with Gastroesophageal reflux disease will be enrolled and asked to swallow the SECM HITEC Capsule. The subjects will be awake and unsedated. The capsule is attached to a string like tether which allows the operator to control ...

This is a prospective, multi-center, randomized study to compare the safety and performance of the EndoRotor Mucosal Resection System with continued ablative therapy in subjects with refractory dysplastic Barrett's Esophagus. Subjects must have failed 3 RFA treatments (failure of Barrett's to respond to RFA with a decrease of at least ...

Will oral supplementation with Omega 3 free fatty acids in obese Barrett's esophagus subjects downregulate pro-neoplastic and pro-inflammatory pathways in the esophagus to anti-inflammatory pathway?

Patients will be recruited from participating institutions prior to planned routine care EGD with WATS3D brush samples and forceps biopsies. Eligibility will be reviewed and patients who are potentially eligible for the study will be approached regarding the study. If interested, participants will be consented and proceed with routine care ...

The purpose of this study is to create a registry (collect data and keep it in a research database) to learn more about two methods of taking small tissue samples from your esophagus (the esophagus is the tube that carries food and liquid from your mouth to your stomach.). The ...

The hypothesis is that the addition of a transparent cap to the end of the endoscope will increase the detection and diagnostic yield of visible lesions in Barrett's esophagus. Thus, the goal of this tandem design trial is to compare the diagnostic yield (DY) of cap assisted endoscopy with that ...

After thermal ablation of Barrett's esophagus, stricture formation is reported in 5 to over 10% of patients. Submucosal fluid injection prior to ablation may lower the risk of stricture formation. The new technique of HybridAPC which combines submucosal injection with APC is considered to reduce the complication.
