CryoBalloon Ablation System
Cryoablation treatment of patients with previously untreated (treatment naïve) Barrett's epithelium.
|
Device: CryoBalloon Ablation System
CryoBalloon Ablation System, a balloon-based cryotherapy device, provides controlled ablation for the treatment of BE. Deployed through the working channel of an endoscope, the Balloon is simultaneously inflated and cooled with an inert cryogen (nitrous oxide) delivered from the handle that ablates the BE cells upon contact with the esophagus.

- Incidence of serious, CryoBalloon Ablation System-related adverse events [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
- Percentage of patients with baseline LGD who have complete eradication of all dysplasia [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
- percentage of patients with baseline HGD who have complete eradication of all dysplasia [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
- percentage of all treated patients who have complete eradication of all dysplasia (CE-D) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
- Percentage of subjects with complete eradication of all esophageal intestinal metaplasia (CE-IM) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
- Percentage of subjects with progression of dysplasia from LGD to HGD or esophageal cancer, or progression of HGD to cancer [ Time Frame: 12 months ]For Baseline LGD and HGD subjects: progression of dysplasia
- Incidence of all treatment-related and all serious, non-treatment-related adverse events [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
- Incidence of post procedure chest discomfort events / Pain score >0 and <5 [ Time Frame: Day 1 ](scored on a 0-10 visual analog pain scale)
- Incidence of post procedure chest discomfort events / Pain score ≥5 and requiring narcotic analgesic [ Time Frame: Day 7 ](scored on a 0-10 visual analog pain scale)
- Mean and Median Pain score on Day 1 post procedure [ Time Frame: Day 1 ](scored on a 0-10 visual analog pain scale)
- Mean and Median Pain score on Day 7 post procedure [ Time Frame: Day 7 ](scored on a 0-10 visual analog pain scale)
- Rate of (CE-D) and all esophageal (CE-IM) will be reported as a percentage of all subjects enrolled, and stratified by baseline dysplasia grade [ Time Frame: 24 and 36 months ]
- Number of CryoBalloon ablation treatments required to achieve CE-D or CE-IM [ Time Frame: 12 months ](mean and median)

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Low- or high-grade non-nodular, previously untreated ("treatment naïve") dysplastic BE, confirmed by histopathological analysis. If nodular BE or Intramuscosal Cancer (ImCA) is identified during patient screening, this may be treated with Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR) ≥6 weeks prior to treatment under this protocol. If previous EMR was performed, follow-up endoscopy must be negative for nodular BE. Patients with ImCA must be at low risk for recurrence, confirmed by EMR pathology results negative for positive margin, poorly differentiated carcinoma, and lymphovascular invasion.
- BE length ≤6cm excluding visible BE islands, and Prague Classification C ≥0 / M ≥1
- Older than 18 years of age at time of consent
- Operable per institution's standards
- Provides written informed consent on the approved informed consent form
- Willing and able to comply with study requirements for follow-up
Exclusion Criteria:
- Non-dysplastic or indefinite for dysplasia BE, confirmed by histopathological analysis
- Esophageal stenosis/stricture preventing advancement of a therapeutic endoscope (patients may have the stenosis/stricture dilated and then be treated with CryoBalloon ablation under this protocol at a subsequent procedure ≥2 weeks later)
- Symptomatic untreated strictures
- Any endoscopically-visualized abnormalities such as ulcers, masses or nodules. Neoplastic nodules must first be treated with EMR ≥6 weeks prior to planned treatment under this protocol.
- History of esophageal cancer more extensive than T1a or not meeting criteria for low risk of recurrence (confirmed by EMR pathology results negative for positive margin, poorly differentiated carcinoma, and lymphovascular invasion)
- History of esophageal varices
- Large (>4cm) hiatal hernia
- Prior distal esophagectomy
- Any clinical or histological suspicion of esophageal adenocarcinoma invading into the submucosa by endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), or confirmed T1a cancer with positive deep margin by EMR
- Active esophagitis grade B or higher
- Severe medical comorbidities precluding endoscopy
- Uncontrolled coagulopathy
- Pregnant or planning to become pregnant during period of study participation
- Patient refuses or is unable to provide written informed consent
- Life expectancy ≤3 years, as judged by the site investigator
- General poor health, multiple co-morbidities placing the patient at risk or otherwise unsuitable for trial participation
