This is a longitudinal cohort study to assess the impact of repeated sampling of an oral microbiome signature for Barrett's esophagus (BE). Potential participants will be identified through chart review of patients who have had an endoscopy in the past three years.
The purpose of this study is to collect prospective observational data regarding endoscopic management and outcomes of patients with Barrett's oesophagus (BO) with high grade dysplasia and/or intramucosal carcinoma. To observe the natural history of patients with low grade dysplastic and non dysplastic Barrett's oesophagus
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Endosign capsule sponge test as a novel surveillance method in patients with an ultralong-segment Barrett's esophagus.
Using a non-invasive capsule system to achieve optimal viewing angles of the esophagus for detection of Barrett's esophagus
The investigators have developed a new technology, termed in-vivo laser capture microdissection (IVLCM), that addresses the limitations of endoscopic biopsy for screening for BE and provides targeted genomic profiling of aberrant tissue for more precise prediction of EAC risk. The device is a tethered capsule endomicroscope (TCE) that implements optical …
This phase II trial studies the effect of obeticholic acid in treating patients with Barrett's esophagus. Bile acids present in duodenogastroesophageal reflux contribute to neoplastic progression in Barrett's esophagus. Obeticholic acid has shown anti-cholestatic, anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effects mediated by FXR activation. It down regulates bile acid availability and decreases …
This study serves, in part, to prepare for a future large cohort study. The goal of the study is: The collection of various tissue samples (blood, biopsies and "esophageal brushes") and their analysis. To set up standardized methods for different genetic analyses (DNA-FISH and so-called single cell sequencing) on the …
This phase II trial tests how well itraconazole works in combination with the usual standard of care endoscopy with ablation for the prevention of esophageal cancer in patients who have high-risk Barrett's esophagus (BE). BE is a condition in which the lining of the esophagus changes and becomes more like …
The goal of this pragmatic, registry-based, randomized clinical trial is to find out if using botulinum toxin (Botox) to help drain the stomach during an esophagectomy works as well as a pyloromyotomy in patients undergoing elective esophagectomy for benign or malignant esophageal disease. Both methods are intended to prevent problems …
Barrett Esophagus is a common pathology, with an estimated prevalence of 1.6% at risk of progression to precancerous mucosa (low to high grade dysplasia). The incidence of adenocarcinoma on BE is 0.5% per year. In the event of dysplasia or cancer in situ, it is currently recommended at international and …
