Repeated Sampling of the Oral Microbiome to Improve Detection of Barrett's Esophagus


Sponsor

Columbia University

Enrollment

275 participants

Start Date

Mar 19, 2021

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This is a longitudinal cohort study to assess the impact of repeated sampling of an oral microbiome signature for Barrett's esophagus (BE). Potential participants will be identified through chart review of patients who have had an endoscopy in the past three years.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study collects saliva samples over time to explore whether the bacteria in your mouth can help detect or predict Barrett's esophagus — a pre-cancerous change in the lining of the esophagus often linked to acid reflux. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older - You are scheduled for or have recently had an upper endoscopy (a camera exam of the esophagus and stomach) - You can produce a saliva sample - For Barrett's esophagus patients: You have confirmed Barrett's esophagus on endoscopy with intestinal changes on biopsy **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have a history of head, neck, esophageal squamous cell, or gastric cancer - You have had prior esophageal or stomach surgery Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
