Conditions

Barrett Esophagus, Barretts Esophagus With Dysplasia, Barrett's Esophagus Without Dysplasia, Esophageal Adenocarcinoma

Brief summary

The study will assess the performance of the combined system, i.e., the use of the EsoGuard assay on cells collected using the EsoCheck 510(k) cleared device, to detect Barrett's Esophagus, with and without dysplasia, and/or Esophageal Adenocarcinoma, in individuals deemed to be at high risk for these conditions (i.e., screening) per ACG guidelines.

Detailed description

This is a multicenter, single-arm study designed to assess the operating characteristics of the EsoGuard diagnostic assay performed on distal esophageal mucosal cells collected using the EsoCheck cell collection device, compared to the gold standard, for the screening of BE with and without dysplasia and for esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), in patients at high risk for BE and for whom a screening EGD is indicated according to ACG-established criteria.

Interventions

DEVICEEsoGuard

EsoGuard assay (LDT) will be used on cells collected using EsoCheck (510K cleared esophageal cell collection device) and compared to results of EGD plus biopsies (when taken)

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Primary EfficacyCross-sectional point in time per subject through study completion which is up to approximately 5 weeksThe sensitivity and specificity of EsoGuard for the diagnosis of BE on samples collected using EsoCheck, wherein the definitive diagnosis of BE is made by concomitant EGD and biopsy.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Secondary EfficacyCross-sectional point in time per subject through study completion which is up to approximately 5 weeksNegative predictive value (NPV) and positive predictive value (PPV), calculated for the observed prevalence and over a range of prevalences from 1 to 15%.
