Ultralong-segment Barrett's Esophagus: Towards a Capsule-sponge Surveillance Strategy
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.
Navicam for Detection of Barrett's Esophagus
Using a non-invasive capsule system to achieve optimal viewing angles of the esophagus for detection of Barrett's esophagus
Pilot Study for OCT Guided In Vivo Laser Capture Microdissection for Assessing the Prognosis 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 …
Obeticholic Acid for Prevention in Barrett's Esophagus
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 …
A Study of Barrett's Esophagus Patients to Investigate Quality of Life and Fear of Cancer, and Optimize a Risk Model Based on Biomarkers and New Technologies to Better Predict the Development of Cancer
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 …
Effectiveness of Methods for Pyloric Drainage in esophagecTomY: Botox vs. Pyloromyotomy
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 …
A Study Comparing the Effectiveness of EndoRotor Versus Radiofrequency in Treating Barrett's Esophagus
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 …
Impact of RFA on Esophageal Distensibility and Mucosal Impedance
Patients undergoing ablative therapy for management of dysplastic Barrett's Esophagus (BE) will have decreased distensibility over the course of treatment, but improvement in mucosal impedance as BE epithelia is replaced by neosquamous epithelia. This information may lead to further research in predicting therapeutic response and complications. The purpose of this …
Esophageal Injury of a Tip CF Sensing Ablation Catheter for HP-SD of Paroxysmal and Persistent AF (ESO-SAFE-HP-RF)
This pilot, prospective, interventional, monocentric, independent, and no-profit clinical trial aims to investigate and evaluate the proportion, acute and chronic characteristics, and outcomes of esophageal thermal injury (ETI) in AF ablation using a high-power, short-duration (HP-SD) setting with contact force (CF) sensing tip ablation catheter in standard clinical practice. The …
Assessment of a Minimally Invasive Collection Device for Molecular Analysis of Esophageal Samples
This clinical trial evaluates the use of cytosponge, a minimally invasive collection device, for the detection of Barrett's esophagus (BE) in patients undergoing endoscopy. Non-endoscopic swallowable encapsulate sponge cell collection devices combined with markers for BE/esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) detection are a guideline-endorsed alternative to endoscopy for BE screening. The Oncoguard …
