Brief Title: Cap Assisted Upper Endoscopy Versus High Definition White Light Endoscopy and Narrow Band Imaging Alone In The Detection Of Visible Lesions Barrett's Esophagus: A Randomized Tandem Study
Official Title: Cap Assisted Upper Endoscopy Versus High Definition White Light Endoscopy and Narrow Band Imaging Alone In The Detection Of Visible Lesions Barrett's Esophagus: A Randomized Tandem Study
Study ID: NCT03417570
Brief Summary: The hypothesis is that the addition of a transparent cap to the end of the endoscope will increase the detection and diagnostic yield of visible lesions in Barrett's esophagus. Thus, the goal of this tandem design trial is to compare the diagnostic yield (DY) of cap assisted endoscopy with that of conventional endoscopy using high definition-white light endoscopy (HD-WLE) and narrow band imaging (NBI) in patients with Barrett's esophagus.
