First seen Jan 22, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 24 times
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 adults with precancerous changes in their esophagus will receive either itraconazole or a placebo alongside their usual endoscopic ablation. The goal is to see if the combination leads to faster and more complete removal of abnormal tissue and lowers the chance of cancer developing.
