Brief summary

This study will evaluate if the sponge capsule device can accurately detect the presence of Barrett's Esophagus and prevalent dysplasia/adenocarcinoma detection, in a screening population, with and without chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease.

Detailed description

The sponge on a string (SOS) device will be safely administered by a non-physician such as a nurse. Novel discriminant methylated DNA markers will be assayed on esophageal cytology specimens obtained from the SOS device to enable detection in Barrett's Esophagus and prevalent dysplasia/adenocarcinoma detection.

Interventions

DEVICESponge Capsule

Subjects will swallow sponge capsule and esophageal cells will be collected on deployed sponge.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Aim 1 - Screening Population5 yearsTo measure the positive and negative predictive value of the sponge capsule Barrett's esophagus test in a screening population.
Aim 2 - Case/Control Population BE Detection5 yearsCompare the sensitivity and specificity of a predetermined BE prediction algorithm for those with and without GERD and assess the influence of other covariates (age, sex, ever smoking, ethnicity and BMI) on this algorithm.
Aim 3 - Dysplasia Detection Sensitivity and Specificity5 yearsMeasure the sensitivity and specificity of a predetermined MDM panel assayed on SOS specimens from BE patients identified in Aims 1 and 2, for the detection of HGD /EAC, using surveillance histology as the criterion standard.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Aim 1 - Screening Population Predictive Value5 yearsCompare positive predictive value and negative predictive value of the sponge capsule Barrett's Esophagus test between those with and without chronic GERD.
Aim 1 - Screening Population Safety and Tolerability of sponge capsule procedure5 yearsSafety and tolerability of the sponge capsule device in a screening population as measured by a Tolerability Questionnaire with sponge capsule procedure. Participants will rate their tolerability by rating questions using a scale of 0-10 (0 is none and 10 is severe or 0 is good and 10 is not good).
Aim 2 - Case/Control Population Sensitivity and Specificity5 yearsValidate specificity and sensitivity cut offs of a BE prediction algorithm in an independent patient cohort
Aim 3 - Dysplasia Detection Rate of Missed Dysplasia5 yearsMeasure diagnostic uncertainty bias in the criterion standard, specifically, the rate of dysplasia missed by surveillance histology
