Patient preferences for Barrett's esophagus screening tests
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study asks people at risk for Barrett's esophagus (a condition that can lead to esophageal cancer) to share which screening test they prefer. Your answers help researchers understand what matters most to patients when choosing a screening method.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be 50 years old or older.
- You have chronic heartburn (GERD) or other risk factors for Barrett's esophagus.
- You are at least one of the following: male, white, a smoker, overweight, or have a family history of Barrett's esophagus or esophageal cancer.

This study aims to screen for Barrett's esophagus in people who are getting a routine colonoscopy but do not have chronic heartburn. It uses a simple, non-invasive cell collection device (EsoCheck) to see if you might have Barrett's esophagus, which can increase the risk of esophageal cancer.
This study checks whether a swallowable capsule can help find signs of Barrett’s esophagus or esophageal cancer (or related risk) before or around an endoscopy. The goal is to see if this less invasive sampling method could improve screening.
This study tests a less invasive way to check for Barrett's esophagus and esophageal cancer. Instead of a standard endoscopy, they may use a sponge-on-a-string or other simpler methods, which could be more comfortable and easier for patients.
This trial tests a new, non-endoscopic screening method for Barrett's esophagus (a condition that can lead to cancer) in veterans who do not have chronic acid reflux. It aims to find early signs of the condition using a simple swallowable device, potentially avoiding the need for a traditional endoscopy.
This study looks at people with Barrett's esophagus who are about to have a procedure to remove a suspicious spot. It tests a new way to predict if cancer might come back, and it checks how learning your risk affects your worry and quality of life.
This study collects information from people who are already being screened for Barrett's esophagus or esophageal cancer using the EsoCheck and EsoGuard tests. It helps doctors learn more about how well these tests work in real life.
