We’re tracking 8 recruiting barrett esophagus studies with a site in Minnesota, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Minnesota
- NCT06071845Recruiting
Testing a simpler sponge test for Barrett's esophagus
This study tests a new, less invasive way to collect cells from the esophagus using a small sponge on a string (called Cytosponge). It aims to see if this method can accurately detect Barrett's esophagus, a condition that can raise the risk of esophageal cancer.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–90 - NCT05530343Recruiting
Two ways to sample tissue during Barrett’s follow-up
This study compares two tissue-collection methods during an endoscopy for Barrett’s esophagus to see which one detects concerning changes better. Your results could help improve how doctors check Barrett’s over time.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–89 - NCT00587314Enrolling by invitation
Testing ablation treatment for Barrett’s with precancer changes
This trial studies whether an “ablation” procedure (destroying abnormal esophagus lining) works well for people with Barrett’s esophagus that has high-grade precancer changes or very early cancer. It may help find safer or more effective ways to prevent the condition from worsening.

Radiofrequency ablation effects on the esophagus
This study looks at how radiofrequency ablation (RFA) affects the flexibility and lining of the esophagus in people with Barrett's esophagus and early cancer. It may help doctors understand how this treatment works.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT03961945Recruiting
Testing a new way to diagnose Barrett’s esophagus
This study tests minimally invasive, sample-based tests during an endoscopy to find Barrett’s esophagus and help sort it from esophageal cancer risk. It may help doctors spot changes earlier and more accurately using less invasive methods than standard tissue testing alone.
Austin, MinnesotaAges 18–90 - NCT00288119Recruiting
Study genes in Barrett’s esophagus and esophageal cancer
This study looks at genetic (inherited) factors that may be linked to Barrett’s esophagus and esophageal cancer. It may help researchers understand why these conditions happen in some families and others do not.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07212491Enrolling by invitation
New ways to detect early esophageal changes in Barrett's esophagus
This study tests a new, less invasive way to detect precancerous changes or early cancer in Barrett's esophagus. It uses a sponge or brush to collect cells from your esophagus during a routine endoscopy, which may help find problems earlier and avoid more invasive procedures.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–90 - NCT03853772Enrolling by invitation
Heartburn registry for long-term symptom and care follow-up
This registry enrolls people with GERD (chronic heartburn/reflux) to track symptoms and treatments over time for up to 5 years. It may help researchers understand what works best in everyday care, and you’ll be asked to complete check-in surveys.

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.

Common questions
- Are there barrett esophagus clinical trials in Minnesota?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 8 recruiting barrett esophagus studies with a site in Minnesota, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a barrett esophagus study in Minnesota?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Minnesota to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Minnesota, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a barrett esophagus trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
