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 …
Utility and Usability of ActivSight™ Laser Speckle Imaging in Visualization of Tissue Perfusion and Blood Flow During Esophageal Surgery in Humans
ActivSight™ combines an innovative form factor and proprietary software to deliver precise, objective, real-time visualization of blood flow and tissue perfusion intraoperatively for laparoscope-based surgery. A small adaptor that fits between any existing laparoscope and camera systems and a separate light source placed along any current commercial system will deliver …
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 …
The Prevalence, Risk Factors and Optimal Biopsy Protocol of BE
Detections of goblet cells and dysplasia are crucial for diagnosis and determining the surveillance program of Barrett's esophagus (BE). However, the optimal biopsy numbers and their yield rates of intestinal metaplasia (IM) and dysplasia are still uncertain, especially in Asia. The aim of this study was to determine the optimal …
Camrelizumab Combined With Chemoradiotherapy in Advanced Esophageal Cancer.
This is a prospective single-arm exploratory clinical study. The efficacy and safety of camrelizumab combined with chemoradiotherapy and camrelizumab combined with chemotherapy were evaluated in patients with advanced esophageal cancer who had not previously received any systemic antitumor therapy for esophageal cancer.
TRAstuzumab and Pertuzumab for HER2+ Resectable Oesophageal Cancer
Despite treatment according to the CROSS-regimen, median overall survival is less than four years (2.3 QALYs). The burden of disease is within the highest category (0.71 to 1.0). Also, no targeted treatment options are currently available, hampering personalized treatment for this patient population. TRAP-2 aims to address these needs by …
