Non-endoscopic Brushing of the Esophagus Using a Non-endoscopic Inflatable Balloon of the Esophagus in Screening for Barrett Esophagus

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Barrett Esophagus

In brief

This pilot clinical trial studies non-endoscopic brushing of the esophagus using a non-endoscopic inflatable balloon for the esophagus in screening for Barrett esophagus, a condition where the lining of the esophagus has changed or been replaced with abnormal cells that may lead to cancer. The non-endoscopic inflatable balloon for the esophagus is a capsule balloon that brushes against the walls of the esophagus to collect esophageal samples. Non-endoscopic brushing of the esophagus using a non-endoscopic inflatable balloon for the esophagus may help doctors find Barrett esophagus sooner, when it may be easier to treat.
