Overview
Tab Title Description
Study type
ObservationalDescribes the nature of a clinical study. Types include:
- Observational study — observes people and measures outcomes without affecting results.
- Interventional study (clinical trial) — studies new tests, treatments, drugs, surgical procedures or devices.
- Medical records research — uses historical information collected from medical records of large groups of people to study how diseases progress and which treatments and surgeries work best.

About this study
The purpose of this study is to systematically analyze the function of various immune cells in the esophagus, we need to perform a series of preliminary pilot studies on sections of esophageal biopsy specimens to optimize experimental conditions, examine the feasibility of several new cell biologic and immunologic techniques, and obtain preliminary data to estimate statistical parameters (e.g. individual variability and standard deviation).
Participation eligibility
Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Chart review to identify patients who underwent endoscopy whose biopsies were diagnosed with esophageal disease
- Patients who underwent endoscopy but whose biopsies were read out as histologically normal.
