Summary

This study is being done to collect data on the potential use of a sponge on a string device as a non-invasive tool in evaluating patients with Barrett's Esophagus compared to healthy controls.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

Subjects with known Barrett's Esophagus (BE).

  • Patients with a BE segment ≥ 1cm in maximal extent endoscopically.
  • Histology showing evidence of intestinal metaplasia with or without presence of dysplasia.
  • Undergoing clinically indicated endoscopy. Subjects without known evidence of BE - Undergoing clinically indicated diagnostic endoscopy

Exclusion Criteria

  • Subjects with known BE.
  • Patients with prior history of ablation (photodynamic therapy, radiofrequency ablation, cryotherapy, argon plasma coagulation). Patients with history of endoscopic mucosal resection alone will not be excluded.
  • Patients with history of esophageal resection for esophageal carcinoma. Subjects with or without known evidence of BE (on history or review of medical records).
  • Pregnant or lactating females.
  • Patients who are unable to consent.
  • Patients with current history of eosinophilic esophagitis, achalasia or uninvestigated dysphagia.
  • Patients on oral anticoagulation including Coumadin, Warfarin.
  • Patients on antiplatelet agents including Clopidogrel, unless discontinued for 3 days prior to the sponge procedure.
  • Patients on oral thrombin inhibitors including Dabigatran and oral factor X a inhibitors such as rivaroxaban, apixaban and edoxaban, unless discontinued for 3 days prior to the sponge procedure.
  • Patients with history of known varices or cirrhosis.
  • Patients with history of esophageal resection for esophageal carcinoma.
  • Patients with congenital or acquired bleeding diatheses.
  • Patients with a history of esophageal squamous dysplasia.
  • Patient has known carcinoma of the foregut (pancreatic, bile duct, ampullary, stomach, or duodenum) within 5 years prior to study enrollment.
