Clinical Studies

A Multicenter Randomized Trial of Seattle Biopsy Protocol Versus Wide-Area Transepithelial Sampling in Patients With Barrett's Esophagus Undergoing Surveillance (The SWAT-BE Study) (SWAT-BE) Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to learn about the best approach to sample patients with known or suspected Barrett's esophagus (BE) by comparing the standard Seattle biopsy protocol to sampling using wide area transepithelial sampling (WATS3D).

Assessment Of Esophageal Distensibility And Mucosal Impedance In Dysplastic Barrett?s Esophagus Patients Undergoing Radiofrequency Ablation Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to determine the change in distensibility as measured by functional luminal impedance planimetry (FLIP) as well as the change in mucosal impedance in the esophagus in dysplastic Barrett’s esophagus patients receiving radiofrequency ablation
Comparing Esophageal Mucosal Permeability and Absorption Capability in Healthy Controls and Patients with Severe Reflux Esophagitis Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to establish baseline saccharide absorption from the esophagus in healthy controls compared to patients with severe erosive esophagitis.
