Freeze treatment tested for stubborn esophagus condition

NCT ID NCT03554356

Summary

This study is testing a device that freezes and destroys abnormal cells in the esophagus (a condition called Barrett's esophagus) in patients where standard heat-based treatments have not worked well. About 70 participants will have the freezing treatment every few months for up to a year, aiming to completely remove the abnormal tissue. Researchers will track how well the abnormal cells are cleared and monitor patient safety and pain levels.
