  • Assessment Of A Minimally Invasive Collection Device For Molecular Analysis Of Esophageal Samples For The Non-endoscopic Detection Of Barrett’s Esophagus With And Without Dysplasia Jacksonville, Fla., Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

    The purpose of this study is to measure DNA yield from esophageal cytology samples collected with the Cytosponge device in comparison to historical ranges observed from esophageal cytology samples collected with the EsophaCap (from IRB 15-004540).


    Also, to evaluate MDM levels and accuracy of the Oncoguard® Esophagus test (OGE test) for the detection of methylated DNA markers in Cytosponge-collected esophageal cytology samples in comparison to historical ranges of MDMs and accuracy observed from esophageal cytology samples collected with the EsophaCap (from IRB 15-004540).

  • Minimally Invasive Molecular Approaches For The Detection Of Barrett?s Esophagus-High Grade Dysplasia And Esophageal Adenocarcinoma- Aim 2 (The SOS6C Trial) Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

    The purpose of this study is the development of a less invasive biomarker test for the detection of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) and high-grade dysplasia in patients with Barrett’s esophagus (BE). Methylated DNA Markers (MDMs) and copy number alterations have been discovered and biologically validated in esophageal brushings and swallowed cell collection devices (CCD). The purpose of this study is to select the final markers that will be included in a biomarker panel to detect HGD/EAC in patients with BE.. Secondly, an independent set of patient samples will be used to train and test an algorithm using the panel of selected biomarkers.
