Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Safety of EndoRotor® ablation of Barrett's mucosa; Number of participants with treatment related adverse events, such as bleeding, perforation or post procedural stenosis

    Participants will have follow-up visits after the procedure during which the occurence of adverse events will be assessed. Adverse events will be classified according to the severity and onset timing.

    3 months

  • Feasibility of EndoRotor® for the ablation of Barrett's mucosa

    The percentage of endoscopically visible surface regression of Barrett's epithelium after 3 months post EndoRotor® treatment

    3 months

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • To assess the patient discomfort (recorded using the Numeric Rating Scale - grade 1-10)

    1 month

  • To assess the dysphagia-score (recorded using the Ogilvie score)

    1 month

  • To assess a variety of symptoms (recorded using a 7 point Likert scale)

    1 month

  • Total time to resect tissue

    Procedure

  • Ease of performing the EndoRotor® procedure

    Procedure

Study Arms (1)

EndoRotor® ablation

EXPERIMENTAL

Prospective pilot study, to be performed in 30 patients with Barrett's esophagus that have an indication for ablation treatment. Barrett's ablation will be performed using the EndoRotor®.

Device: The EndoRotor®

Interventions

The EndoRotor® is in automated mechanical endoscopic mucosal resection system for use in the gastrointestinal tract. The EndoRotor suctions up the tissue and cuts it, automatically sending the tissue to a collection trap for histological evaluation.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Written informed consent.
  • Age equal to or above 18 years (adult).
  • Minimum (residual) Barrett's length of 2 cm and a maximum length of 5 cm (C0-5M2-5 according to the Prague classification)
  • Scheduled Barrett's ablation for:
  • Histologically proven intestinal metaplasia with either high- or low-grade dysplasia in the absence of any visible lesion,
  • Residual Barrett's mucosa after complete endoscopic resection (for visible lesions containing HGD or EAC.) (EMR \<50% of the circumference)
  • Favorable anatomy (e.g. straight esophagus, no previous anti-reflux procedure) that allows performing endoscopic treatment with the EndoRotor®.

You may not qualify if:

  • Presence of a visible lesion suspicious of early esophageal cancer or has a high chance of harboring cancer, or biopsy proven cancer.
  • In case of previous EMR: EMR specimen showing deep submucosal invasion (\> 500μm), poorly to undifferentiated cancer (G3 or G4), lymphovascular invasion, or positive vertical margins.
  • In case of previous EMR: \> 50% circumference.
  • Any prior endoscopic ablation treatment or dilation for esophageal stenosis.
  • Significant esophageal stenosis, preventing the passage of the therapeutic endoscope.
  • Evidence of portal hypertension, esophageal varices, etc.
  • An interval \< 6 weeks between EMR and EndoRotor treatment.
  • An interval of \> 6 months after the last high resolution endoscopy with biopsies containing low or high grade dysplasia.
  • Unable to undergo endoscopic procedure using sedation analgesics.
  • Anti-coagulant therapy (apart from monotherapy aspirin) that cannot be discontinued prior to the procedure, OR uncorrectable hemostatic disorders.
