Trial Information

Detection Of Neoplastic Tissue in Barrett's Esophagus With In vivO Probe-based Confocal Endomicroscopy


This is a cross-over tandem study to directly address the low sensitivity and specificity of
enhanced macroscopic endoscopic imaging devices by determining whether probe-based Confocal
Laser Endomicroscopy (pCLE), as a supplement to Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) can further
improve sensitivity and specificity to a level that would be acceptable to avoid random
biopsy, and better direct biopsy of suspicious areas. The study is also addressing pCLE as a
supplement to standard white light endoscopy and random biopsy alone. In fact, the study is
powered to evaluate per lesion sensitivity and specificity of confocal imaging as applied to
lesions identified by white light endoscopy. Therefore, the study addresses the shortcomings
of standard white light endoscopy (high number of random biopsies, less than ideal directed
biopsy of suspicious areas) and the primary shortcomings of NBI (low specificity with
resultant high false positives, again resulting in many unnecessary biopsies).


Inclusion Criteria:

3. Ability to provide written, informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Presence of erosive esophagitis
