How radiofrequency ablation affects esophagus stretchiness and mucosal impedance
This study will test whether radiofrequency ablation changes how stretchy the esophagus is and the mucosal impedance in adults treated for dysplastic Barrett's esophagus.

Non-endoscopic test to find Barrett's esophagus in veterans without chronic reflux.
This project will test whether a simple, non-endoscopic swab-like test can find Barrett's esophagus in veterans over 40 who have risk factors for esophageal cancer but no chronic heartburn.
-
Itraconazole with endoscopic ablation to prevent esophageal cancer in high‑risk Barrett's esophagus
This study tests if adding itraconazole to the standard endoscopic ablation can better prevent esophageal cancer in people with high-risk Barrett's esophagus.
-
Capsule-sponge surveillance for ultralong-segment Barrett's esophagus
This tests whether the EndoSign capsule-sponge can detect precancerous changes and early esophageal cancer in adults with ultralong-segment Barrett's esophagus compared with standard endoscopy.
-
Understanding patient preferences for screening tests for Barrett's esophagus and esophageal cancer
This study is trying to understand what patients prefer when it comes to screening tests for Barrett's esophagus and esophageal cancer to help improve current practices.

Detecting Barrett's Esophagus in Patients Without GERD Symptoms
This study is testing a new way to find Barrett's esophagus in people who don’t have GERD symptoms by using a simple capsule test instead of the usual endoscopy.
-
Assessing Barrett's Esophagus in Patients with Anorexia Nervosa and Purging Behaviors
This study is trying to see if people with anorexia nervosa who purge have Barrett's esophagus, using non-invasive tests to check for this condition in patients aged 18-65.

Using a swallowable sponge to collect esophageal samples for Barrett's esophagus detection
This study is testing a swallowable sponge to see if it can safely collect samples from the esophagus to help detect Barrett's esophagus and esophageal cancer in patients who may have these conditions.

Registry for patients undergoing esophageal cancer screening
This study is collecting information from patients getting screened for Barrett Esophagus and Esophageal Adenocarcinoma using a new test to see how well it works and how patients feel about the process.
-
Comparing surveillance and therapy for Barrett's esophagus with low-grade dysplasia
This study is testing whether regular check-ups or a treatment to remove precancerous cells is better for people with Barrett's esophagus and low-grade dysplasia.
-
Comparing biopsy methods for monitoring Barrett's Esophagus
This study is testing whether a new biopsy method called WATS is better than the usual random biopsies for monitoring patients with Barrett's Esophagus who are at high risk for serious complications.
-
Comparing two methods for sampling Barrett's esophagus
This study is testing which method, the standard biopsy or a new sampling technique, is better at finding early signs of cancer in people with Barrett's esophagus.
-
Evaluating outcomes of endoscopic submucosal dissection for gastrointestinal lesions
This study is trying to see how well a new technique called endoscopic submucosal dissection works for removing gastrointestinal lesions in patients, especially in the esophagus and colon, compared to older methods.
-
Collecting data to predict cancer risk in at-risk populations
This study is trying to collect samples and health information from people at higher risk of cancer to see if they can find signs that help predict cancer early on.
-
Long-term saliva sampling for Barrett's esophagus
This study is testing if regular saliva samples can help identify a specific oral bacteria pattern in people with Barrett's esophagus to see if it can be used as a simple way to diagnose this condition.
-
Using obeticholic acid to prevent progression in Barrett's esophagus
This study is testing if the medication obeticholic acid can help prevent Barrett's esophagus from getting worse in people at risk of developing esophageal cancer.
-
Comparing EndoRotor and Radiofrequency for Barrett's Esophagus treatment
This study is testing whether a new treatment called EndoRotor works better than radiofrequency for people with Barrett's esophagus and dysplasia.
-
Registry to evaluate biopsy methods for esophageal conditions
This study is trying to see how two different biopsy methods during endoscopy can help doctors make better treatment decisions for patients with esophageal conditions.
-
