Common aspirin may block dangerous esophagus condition

NCT ID NCT02521285

Summary

This study is testing whether a daily aspirin pill can help prevent Barrett's esophagus from returning after it has been successfully treated with a procedure called radiofrequency ablation. It involves 21 people who have had their Barrett's esophagus cleared. Participants are randomly assigned to take either aspirin or a placebo (sugar pill) daily for one year, and researchers measure specific markers in tissue samples to see if aspirin makes a difference.
