Clinical Studies on Bile Acids in Barrett's Esophagus
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Ursodeoxycholic Acid for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease. Completed, enrolled 60 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study has two major goals: 1. To determine the effects of bile salts on causing DNA injury and activating signaling pathways that promote growth in cells from the esophagus of patients who have gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) 2. To determine whether changes in bile composition induced by treating patients with a bile salt called ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) can alter DNA injury, signaling pathway activation and other types of damage in cells from the esophagus of patients who have GERD.
