Official title
Pilot Study of EsoCheck Compared to Biopsies and Brush Cytology During Endoscopy for Evaluation of Eosinophilic Esophagitis.
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a prevalent chronic inflammatory condition of the esophagus characterized by esophageal eosinophilia that can lead to inflammation and stricture formation. To assess remission, esophagogastroduodenoscopies (EGD) with biopsies are performed. This can lead to multiple EGDs, which are invasive and costly procedures. EsoCheck is a promising noninvasive device. It is an encapsulated balloon that can be easily swallowed and collect cells from the distal esophagus. The primary aim of this study is to determine the feasibility and safety of EsoCheck compared with standard endoscopy and biopsies in the assessment of EoE. This will be a prospective cross-sectional study of adult patients (greater than or equal to 22 years of age) at the University of Pennsylvania with a diagnosis of EoE scheduled for a clinically indicated upper endoscopy.
