Study ID: NCT04880044
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to develop a method to detect Barrett's esophagus (BE) in individuals with a new office-based diagnostic test.
Detailed Description: This study will investigate whether using EsoCheck/EsoGuard(EC/EG) can detect BE in individuals at risk for BE who are currently not being detected and are not undergoing routine esophago-gastro-duodenoscopy (EGD) BE can only be diagnosed by performing upper endoscopy. Up to 500 adults who have risk factors for BE but do not have chronic heartburn or regurgitation will be enrolled in this study. This will include the EsoCheck/EsoGuard determination along with the upper endoscopy for qualifying EsoGuard negative subjects
