- NCT05753748Recruiting
Compare watchful waiting vs endoscopy treatment for Barrett’s with low-grade dysplasia
This trial compares two approaches for people with Barrett’s esophagus and low-grade dysplasia: regular monitoring versus treatment done through an endoscopy. It aims to see which approach is safer and better at preventing progression to more serious changes in the esophagus.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–89 - NCT04561791Enrolling by invitation
Testing a swallowable scope for early detection of Barrett’s esophagus
This study checks whether a special swallowable “camera capsule” test done in primary care can find early warning changes called Barrett’s esophagus. If it works well, it could make screening easier for people at risk.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–75 - NCT03830801Recruiting
Testing laser-guided sampling to predict Barrett’s esophagus risk
This study checks whether a special laser-guided method can safely collect tiny tissue samples from the esophagus to help predict how Barrett’s esophagus may turn out. If you have Barrett’s, the results may help doctors better estimate your future risk.

Prevention and early detection for people at high cancer risk
This study looks at surveillance (watching closely), prevention, and early “interception” steps to lower the chance that cancer will develop or be found later. It is for people with genetic risk, past cancer treatment exposures, strong family history, or certain early pre-cancer or high-risk conditions.

Test a pill-camera for viewing the esophagus in reflux patients
This study checks whether a small pill-camera (a capsule) can take clear pictures of the esophagus in people with reflux-related conditions. It may help doctors better see inflammation or narrowing so they can guide treatment.

What taking part in a barrett esophagus study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
