Ultralong-segment Barrett's Esophagus: Towards a Capsule-sponge Surveillance Strategy
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
EndoSign: The EndoSign cell collection device is a non-endoscopic capsule sponge device used to collect pan-esophageal samples. The Endosign procedure consists of an expandable, spherical mesh, which is attached to a string and contained within a soluble capsule. Seven minutes after swallowing (once the capsule has dissolved), the spherical mesh, which measures around 3cm in diameter is retrieved by pulling on the string. Upon retrieval the capsule-sponge scrapes against the surface of the top of the stomach and esophagus and collects epithelial cells. The capsule-sponge sample is then placed into a preservative fluid and the specimen is processed for molecular tests.
Study summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Endosign capsule sponge test as a novel surveillance method in patients with an ultralong-segment Barrett's esophagus.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Concordance between EndoSign and upper endoscopy to detect dysplasia and/or esophageal adenocarcinoma — 3 years
We will determine the concordance between the EndoSign test and upper endoscopy by an expert endoscopist to detect dysplasia and/or esophageal adenocarcinoma in patients with an ultralong-segment Barrett's esophagus.
