About this trial

This is an interventional diagnostic trial for Gastroesophageal Reflux focused on measuring Gastroesophageal reflux disease, GERD, Barrett's Esophagus, Esophageal adenocarcinoma

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 85 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesAccepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

Participants who are undergoing clinically indicated upper endoscopy with Bravo ambulatory pH capsule (off reflux medications for 7 days), in the Esophageal Clinic at Mayo Clinic.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Pre-existing or suspected Barrett's Esophagus (> 1cm of columnar mucosa in esophagus on endoscopy
  2. Oral anticoagulation precluding endoscopic biopsies
  3. Patients with known hypersensitivity to fluorescein sodium.

Research procedures

Arm Description

Participants enrolled in study will have confocal endomicroscopy, research biopsies, mucosal impedance, and Bravo ambulatory pH capsule performed at the time of clinically indicated endoscopy.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Compare intercellular space dilation as a marker for apical junction complex integrity in esophageal squamous epithelium by using transmission electron microscopy in those patients with/without gastroesophageal reflux and with/without central obesity.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Compare paracellular permeability of esophageal squamous epithelium by measuring mucosal impedance and IV fluorescein leak using a confocal laser endomicroscope in those patients with/without gastroesophageal reflux and with/without central obesity.
Compare the prostaglandin E2 level as measured by enzyme immunoassay in esophageal squamous epithelium in those patients with/without gastroesophageal reflux and with/without central obesity.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study is being done to help understand why some people with an increased amount of central obesity, without gastroesophageal reflux, develop changes to the lining of their esophagus that can potentially lead to esophageal adenocarcinoma (cancer).
