| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Non-erosive reflux disease (NERD) | Active Comparator | Patient's with GERD refractory to PPI with no evidence of erosive esophagitis on endoscopy. Confocal endomicroscopy, endoscopic biopsies and mucosal impedance (MI) will be performed. |
|
| Barrett's esophagus/erosive esophagitis | Active Comparator | Patient's with Barrett's esophagus or with erosive esophagitis on endoscopy. Confocal endomicroscopy, endoscopic biopsies and mucosal impedance (MI) will be performed. |
|
| Control | Placebo Comparator | Patient's with no h/o GERD or Barrett's esophagus who are undergoing endoscopy for non-GERD related indication. Confocal endomicroscopy, endoscopic biopsies and mucosal impedance (MI) will be performed. |

| Confocal endomicroscopy | Procedure | Confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) permits real-time in-vivo histologic analysis of esophageal mucosa at the time of upper endoscopy. The technology is based on the principle of illuminating a tissue with a low-power laser and then detecting fluorescent light reflected from the tissue. Because CLE relies upon tissue fluorescence, intravenous fluorescein is generally used to highlight the vasculature and intercellular spaces of the tissue being examined. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Correlation between the time from intravenous injection of fluorescein to visualization of fluorescein on probe based confocal endomicroscopy (pCLE) with esophageal permeability (i.e. - epithelial barrier function). | Through study completion, an average of 1 year. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Compare the time from intravenous injection of fluorescein to visualization of fluorescein on probe based confocal endomicroscopy (pCLE) in patients with Barrett's esophagus and controls | Through study completion, an average of 1 year. | |
| Compare the time from intravenous injection of fluorescein to visualization of fluorescein on probe based confocal endomicroscopy (pCLE) in patients with symptoms of refractory GERD and Barrett's esophagus |

Investigator in the lab performing Ussing's chamber analysis will be blinded to the diagnosis of the patient
|
|
| Endoscopic biopsies | Diagnostic Test | Additional biopsies will be obtained of the esophageal mucosa.These will be obtained with a standard biopsy forceps inserted through the channel in gastroscope. |
|
| Mucosal impedance (MI) | Diagnostic Test | MI balloon measures epithelial impedance along a 10 cm length of esophagus. The gastroscope will be withdrawn and the MI balloon will be advanced into the esophagus through the mouth. The balloon will be inflated so that the sensors contact the esophageal mucosa. After MI measurements are obtained, the balloon will be deflated and withdrawn. |
|
| Through study completion, an average of 1 year. |
| Correlation between the Ussing's chamber findings (esophageal permeability) and confocal endomicroscopy findings of patients with symptoms of refractory GERD and Barrett's esophagus | Through study completion, an average of 1 year. |
