NCT ID NCT02994693
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 100 adults with Barrett's esophagus, a condition where the lining of the food pipe changes, to see how it naturally progresses. Participants swallow a small camera in a capsule that takes pictures of the esophagus during routine check-ups. The goal is to learn how the condition changes over time, not to test a new treatment.
