Barrett's Esophagus Study for GERD Patients
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at the link between GERD (chronic acid reflux) and Barrett's esophagus, a condition where the lining of the esophagus changes. If you have GERD, joining could help doctors understand who might develop Barrett's and how to catch it early.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 years or older).
- You have been diagnosed with GERD (acid reflux) based on symptoms or tests like pH monitoring or manometry.
- You are willing to have an endoscopic exam (a tube with a camera placed down your throat).
- You have never been diagnosed with esophageal cancer.
- You do not have other esophageal conditions like eosinophilic esophagitis, infections, or motility disorders.
- You are able to understand and give consent to participate.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a new acid-reducing medicine (a potassium-competitive acid blocker) for people with Barrett's esophagus, a condition linked to acid reflux. It aims to see if this new treatment is safe and effective compared to standard proton pump inhibitors, and it might offer a better option for managing the condition.
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 trial tests a device that collects cells from the esophagus using a swallowed capsule, which may detect Barrett's esophagus without a standard endoscopy. It is for people who are already scheduled for an endoscopy.
This trial tests a new risk model to predict if early Barrett's esophagus-related cancer may return. It also looks at how telling patients their risk affects their quality of life and fear of cancer. If you have Barrett's with a small, early cancer, this study may help decide the best follow-up plan for you.
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.
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.
