Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy for Improved Diagnosis of Barrett's Esophagus and Associated Neoplasia
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) and standard endoscopy (EGD) for Barrett's Esophagus and Esophageal Adenocarcinoma. Completed, enrolled 46 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) can improve detection of Barrett's esophagus, dysplasia, and early esophageal cancer.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Confocal laser endomicroscopy is done by performing standard endoscopy, then using a microscope on the tip of the endoscope to obtain microscopic images of the mucosa. This is done by gently placing the tip of the endoscope on the lining of the esophagus.
Standard upper endoscopy (EGD) is performed using a regular upper endoscope, which is used to look at the lining of the esophagus.
