About this study

Official title: Prospective Characterization of the Neo-squamous Epithelial Barrier Following Successful Endoscopic Therapy in Barrett's Esophagus

To prospectively assess the functional aspects of the the esophageal squamous epithelial barrier and correlate this with tissue inflammation and intercellular space dilation in patients who have successfully completed endoscopic radiofrequency ablation versus balloon cryotherapy for Barrett's Esophagus related metaplasia.

Read the detailed description

The investigators will measure and correlate mucosal impedance (measured using a novel endoscopic mucosal impedance catheter), intercellular space as measured with transmission electron microscopy and tissue levels of prostaglandin E2 in patients undergoing surveillance following successful endoscopic therapy (defined as two negative endoscopic surveillance histology for intestinal metaplasia).

Mucosal impedance will be measured by an endoscopic probe. Research biopsies will also be obtained for measurement of tissue levels of prostaglandin E2 and intracellular space with transmission electron microscopy.

Volumetric laser endomicroscopy will measure the precise thickness of and area of subsquamous structures underneath the neosquamous epithelium.

Being tested
Mucosal Impedance, Research Biopsies, Volumetric Laser Endomicroscopy

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Mucosal ImpedanceDevice

    Aim 1: Mucosal impedance will be measured by an endoscopic probe 1 cm above the gastroesophageal junction, 5 cm above the gastroesophageal junction and in the proximal esophagus in an area not exposed to the index therapeutic radiofrequency ablation. Aim 2: Mucosal impedance will be measured 1 cm above gastroesophageal junction, 1 cm below previous squamous columnar junction, 1 cm above previous squamocolumnar junction.

  • Research BiopsiesOther

    Aim 1: Research biopsies will be obtained at 1 cm above the gastroesophageal junction, 5 cm above the gastroesophageal junction, and in the proximal esophagus in an area not exposed to the index therapeutic radiofrequency ablation. Aim 2: Aim 2: Research biopsies will be taken 1 cm above gastroesophageal junction, 1 cm below previous squamous columnar junction, 1 cm above previous squamocolumnar junction.

  • Volumetric Laser EndomicroscopyDevice

    Aim 2: Volumetric laser endomicroscopy will be done and marked at 1 cm above gastroesophageal junction, 1 cm below previous squamous columnar junction, 1 cm above previous squamocolumnar junction.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Mucosal Impedance as measured by an endoscopic probe

    Assess the mucosal impedance of neosquamous epithelium after successful treatment of Barrett's Esophagus.

    Measured: Up to two years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Tissue levels of prostaglandin E2

    Assess the levels of prostaglandin E2 in neosquamous epithelium after successful treatment of Barrett's Esophagus.

    Measured: Up to two years

  2. Intracellular space

    Assess the intercellular space in neosquamous epithelium following successful treatment of Barrett's Esophagus with use of transmission electron microscopy.

    Measured: Up to two years

  3. Volumetric Laser Endomicroscopy

    Assess and measure precise thickness of and area of subsquamous structions underneath the neosquamous epithelium.

    Measured: Up to two years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Barrett's Esophagus With Dysplasia, run by Mayo Clinic at 2 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Jan 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mucosal Impedance as measured by an endoscopic probe (time frame: Up to two years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Jan 2023.
