Video endoscopy has been the most common technique providing clear, real time video images of organs' surfaces. However, this technique only images the surface and cannot effectively diagnose diseased tissues that develop in endothelial tissues. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has been developed to overcome this limitation, and it is widely utilized in diagnosing GI diseases. This technique can image very deep areas of organs, up to several centimeters; however, it suffers from speckle artifacts and cannot adequately provide early diagnosis of tissue abnormalities that do not show mechanical properties that differ significantly from those of normal tissues.\n\nThe investigators propose that photoacoustic endoscopy (PAE), an endoscopic embodiment of the rapidly growing photoacoustic tomography (PAT) technology, can fulfill the aforementioned need."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': "Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Aged 18 years and older.\n* Patients with Barrett's esophagus scheduled for esophageal surgery.\n* Patients with GERD, but without Barrett's esophagus, scheduled for esophageal surgery.\n* Subjects must be able to understand and willing to sign a written informed consent form.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Inability to give informed consent.\n* Pregnancy.\n* Age less than 18 years\n* Previous esophageal procedure (surgery, photodynamic therapy, argon plasma coagulation, endoscopic mucosal resection).\n* Acute GI bleeding.\n* Coagulopathy."}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT02606292', 'briefTitle': "Photoacoustic Endoscopy of Barrett's Esophagus", 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Washington University School of Medicine'}, 'officialTitle': "Photoacoustic Endoscopy of Barrett's Esophagus", 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '201204145'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Arm 1: PAE assessment', 'description': '-The PAE-EUS assessment will be performed in the operating room by the after induction of general anesthesia and following strict sterile technique while the patient is being positioned and prepped for esophageal surgery.', 'interventionNames': ['Procedure: Photoacoustic endoscopy', 'Procedure: Endoscopic ultrasound (standard of care)', 'Procedure: Endoscopic surgery (standard of care)']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Photoacoustic endoscopy', 'type': 'PROCEDURE', 'otherNames': ['PAE'], 'armGroupLabels': ['Arm 1: PAE assessment']}, {'name': 'Endoscopic ultrasound (standard of care)', 'type': 'PROCEDURE', 'otherNames': ['EUS'], 'armGroupLabels': ['Arm 1: PAE assessment']}, {'name': 'Endoscopic surgery (standard of care)', 'type': 'PROCEDURE', 'armGroupLabels': ['Arm 1: PAE assessment']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '63110', 'city': 'St Louis', 'state': 'Missouri', 'country': 'United States', 'facility': 'Washington University School of Medicine', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 38.62727, 'lon': -90.19789}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Bryan F Meyers, M.D., M.P.H.', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'Washington University School of Medicine'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Washington University School of Medicine', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'SPONSOR'}}}}
