A Trial Comparing Yield of Confocal Endomicroscopy Guided Biopsies

Stopped early · Phase 4

Conditions studied: Barrett's Esophagus

In brief

We wish to determine whether biopsies obtained with the technique of fluorescence-aided confocal endomicroscopy will detect more patients with specialized columnar epithelium than random biopsies among patients with Barrett's esophagus who are being monitored with endoscopy.
