Summary
This study tests whether adding the antifungal drug itraconazole to standard heat ablation therapy can better prevent esophageal cancer in people with high-risk Barrett's esophagus. About 64 participants will receive either itraconazole or a placebo alongside their usual endoscopic ablation. The goal is to see if the combination more effectively eliminates precancerous cells and reduces cancer risk.
