A Feasibility Study of Confocal Microendoscopy in the Evaluation of Gastrointestinal Neoplasia - Project 1
The overall objective of this study is to obtain data to evaluate whether high-resolution
imaging of the gastrointestinal mucosain vivo can assist clinicians in detecting dysplastic
(precancerous) areas. This is an exploratory study of a confocal endoscope designed to
evaluate the feasibility of using this FDA-approved device in the endoscopic surveillance of
subjects at high-risk for neoplasia in the upper and lower GI tract. The confocal endoscope
provides real-time in vivo microscopic images of the mucosa which resemble standard
pathology.
