Swallow a sponge to detect esophageal cancer? new study investigates
NCT ID NCT03961945
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a new, less invasive way to diagnose Barrett's esophagus and esophageal cancer using a sponge capsule that patients swallow. The sponge collects cells from the esophagus, which are then analyzed for signs of disease. Researchers will enroll 1,550 people aged 50-85 with risk factors like chronic acid reflux to see how accurate the sponge test is compared to standard endoscopy.
