Official title
Can Detection of Fragments of Cleaved E-cadherin in Tissue and/or Blood be of Value for Identifying and Monitoring Patients With PPI-responsive Heartburn?
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The purpose of this research study is to determine in heartburn patients with nonerosive disease if detecting the presence of a fragment of the protein e-cadherin in esophageal epithelium or the amount of fragments of e-cadherin in blood can be used to monitor healing of esophagitis treated with a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). The hypothesis is that the presence of fragments of e-cadherin in esophageal epithelium or the amount of fragments of e-cadherin in blood can you useful as a biomarker for the healing of esophagitis in patients successfully treated with a PPI.
