Brief Title: Utility Of Mutational Load As A Predictor For Endoscopic Treatment Response In Barrett's Esophagus
Official Title: Utility Of Mutational Load As A Predictor For Endoscopic Treatment Response In Barrett's Esophagus
Study ID: NCT04316975
Brief Summary: To evaluate association between mutational load (ML) from esophageal biopsy specimens in pre-endoscopic eradication therapy (EET) in Barrett's Esophagus (BE) or Intramucosal adenocarcinoma (IMC) patients and treatment resistance (treatment resistance will be defined as disease recurrence and/or need for additional intervention such as increased acid suppression, need for anti-reflux surgery, or use of alternate ablative modality).
Detailed Description: Potential subjects will be identified via protocol and Institutional Review Board (IRB) methods prior to obtaining written informed consent. Once written informed consent is obtained, subjects will continue with planned routine care upper endoscopy. During the first study visit an upper endoscopy will be performed. At this visit, research specimens will be obtained for mutational load (ML) analysis and gastroenterologist (GI) pathologist diagnosis for the presence of adenocarcinoma or degrees of dysplasia. ML will be correlated to the pathology diagnosis on this research biopsy. Subjects will then undergo EET per routine standard of care at the treating institution until CEIM achieved. Subjects will be followed (data collection only) during treatment period until CEIM is achieved. After subjects reach CEIM, four additional research biopsies will be collected, from the midpoint of previous BE site.
