Active clinical trials for "Barrett Esophagus"

The aim of this study is to assess the safety and feasibility of the EndoRotor® for the ablation of Barrett's esophagus.

Background and study aims. To evaluate the impact of power setting and proton pump inhibitor (PPI) dose on the efficacy and safety of argon plasma coagulation (APC) of Barrett's esophagus (BE) with low-grade dysplasia (LGD). Patients and methods. Investigator initiated, single-center, parallel-group randomized controlled trial (RCT) conducted in a tertiary referral center in Poland. Consecutive patients with BE and LGD were randomly assigned to APC with power set at 90 Watt (90W) or 60 Watt (60W) followed by 120 mg or 40 mg omeprazole for six weeks. The primary outcome of the study was the rate of complete (endoscopic and histologic) ablation of BE at six weeks. Secondary outcomes included safety and long-term efficacy (at two years and at the end of a long-term follow-up of over 4 years.

The purpose of the study is to compare the treatment of esomeprazole 40 mg once daily and lansoprazole 30 mg once daily in controlling intragastric pH in Barrett's Esophagus patients

The overall aim of this feasibility study is to develop new technologies for improved detection of Barrett's neoplasia using the scanning fiber endoscope (SFE) imaging system. This study will combine the use of a fluorescent-labeled peptide dimer that bind specifically to pre-cancerous mucosa in the esophagus for use as a novel imaging agent to guide endoscopic biopsy or endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR). This Phase 1B study will be used to provide early evidence of efficacy for the topical application of a peptide dimer that binds to molecular targets, including EGFR and HER2, that are specific for esophageal dysplasia. A dimer is needed because cancer in the esophagus is genetically heterogeneous. QRH binds specifically to Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR), and KSP binds specifically to Human Epithelial Growth Factor Receptor (HER2). The study will look at peptide binding in subjects with known or suspected Barrett's esophagus.

Neoplasia in Barrett's esophagus could be missed during routine random biopsies. We propose a study using chromoendoscopy with Acetic Acid to increase the yield of biopsies in detecting neoplasia.

A phase 2, randomised, double-blind, out-patient trial to determine if YF476 is a safe and effective treatment in patients with Barrett's esophagus.

This study is being done to understand the effect of dietary omega-3 fats in decreasing tissue inflammation in Barrett's esophagus.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the treatment effect, depth of injury, and side effects using technology involving the spray of liquid nitrogen through a catheter (CryoSpray AblationTM, "CSA" or "cryospray therapy") onto healthy tissue via esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) using surgical resection specimens from subjects undergoing esophagectomy.

This is a single center study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a new ablation technique involving the spray of liquid nitrogen through a catheter (cryotherapy) via an upper endoscopy (EGD) to ablate Barrett's esophagus with changes of high-grade dysplasia (HGD) or intramucosal cancer (IMCA) and patients with esophageal cancer limited to the esophageal wall, in whom there are no standard treatment options available.

The hypothesis is that the addition of a transparent cap to the end of the endoscope will increase the detection and diagnostic yield of visible lesions in Barrett's esophagus. Thus, the goal of this tandem design trial is to compare the diagnostic yield (DY) of cap assisted endoscopy with that of conventional endoscopy using high definition-white light endoscopy (HD-WLE) and narrow band imaging (NBI) in patients with Barrett's esophagus.
