View clinical trials related to Barrett Esophagus.
Filter by:Treat Barrett's esophagus (BE) patients with tamoxifen to Barrett's metaplasia as measured by changes in Barrett's esophagus appearance by endoscopy and histology as well as changes in SOX2 and CDX2.
Imaging enhanced endoscopy can improve the efficacy of screening of Barrett's esophagus and predict its invasiveness. There is potentially molecular change over the Barrett's esophagus in this Chinese population. To evaluate the efficacy of imaging enhanced endoscopy for screening of Barrett's esophagus and evaluation of invasiveness
The primary objective of this study is to determine the percentage segment regression after spray cryotherapy in a dose-escalation study performed in patients with dysplastic Barrett's Esophagus (BE) using trūFreeze™ spray cryotherapy within the currently recommended therapeutic range. Secondary objectives are the determination of safety related outcomes such as esophageal stricture.
This clinical trial will evaluate a patient population with Barrett's esophagus(BE) containing high grade dysplasia or intramucosal cancer and compare the effects of endoscopically-guided radiofrequency ablation system(RFA) and endoscopically-guided stepwise endoscopic mucosal resection(S-EMR).
To Compare the overall quality of life of patients with no Barrett's esophagus , non-dysplastic Barrett's Esophagus (NDBE), Barrett's esophagus with low grade dysplasia (LGD), and Barrett's esophagus with high grade dysplasia (HGD). We also Compare the overall quality of life of Barrett's esophagus patients with severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms to those with no GERD symptoms
The purpose of this pilot study is to provide an initial assessment of the feasibility, safety and efficacy of Polar Wand carbon dioxide cryotherapy for treatment of Barrett's low grade and high grade dysplasia by use in a small number of patients so as to support, or otherwise, the development of a full-scale trial.
The overall objective of this study is to obtain data to evaluate whether high-resolution imaging of the gastrointestinal mucosain vivo can assist clinicians in detecting dysplastic (precancerous) areas. This is an exploratory study of a confocal endoscope designed to evaluate the feasibility of using this FDA-approved device in the endoscopic surveillance of subjects at high-risk for neoplasia in the upper and lower GI tract. The confocal endoscope provides real-time in vivo microscopic images of the mucosa which resemble standard pathology.
The investigators seek to test the hypothesis that the improved version of high definition white light endoscopes and Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) are more accurate in detecting residual Barrett's Metaplasia and Dysplasia disease after previous resection or ablation treatments than current versions of these endoscopes.
The purpose of this research study is to assess how safe, effective (how well it works), and tolerable (to put up with) the drug Zegerid is in reducing reflux episodes in patients who have both gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and Barrett's esophagus. Zegerid has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of GERD. The investigators hope to learn the effectiveness of Zegerid for reducing the amount of acid reflux patients are experiencing in the esophagus (swallowing pipe).
We wish to determine whether biopsies obtained with the technique of fluorescence-aided confocal endomicroscopy will detect more patients with specialized columnar epithelium than random biopsies among patients with Barrett's esophagus who are being monitored with endoscopy.
