This study is looking at cells collected from the esophagus using a diagnostic device called the EndoSign® Cell Collection Device (a sponge on a thread). Subjects swallow a capsule, which dissolves in the stomach and releases a sponge that collects cells from the esophagus as the sponge is withdrawn using the thread. These cells will be tested to check for a condition called "Barrett's Esophagus."
The cells from the sponge will be tested using Cyted Health biomarkers and compared to the results from a regular endoscopy and any biopsies that are taken. To do this, we need sponge samples from people who might have Barrett's Esophagus based on their risk factors, and from people with Barrett's Esophagus.
Subjects will have one visit to have the Endosign Cell Collection Device administered prior to having a standard of care endoscopy. They will answer some questions about their medical history and experience with the cell collection procedure as part of the study. Data will be collected from medical records including post-endoscopy.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| High Risk Screening without Barrett's Esophagus-closed 11/2025 | Subjects with chronic GERD plus 3 other defined risk factors for Barrett's Esophagus (ACG) (e.g., age >50, male, white, obese, family history) who have had a standard of care endoscopy in which no Barrett's esophagus was identified. |
| |
| Barrett's Esophagus | Subjects with known Barrett's esophagus with or without dysplasia/cancer identified or confirmed (surveillance) via a standard of care endoscopy |
|
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Barrett's Esophagus Test (LDT) | Device | Barrett's Esophagus Test (LDT) will be performed on esophageal cells collected using the EndoSign Cell Collection Device (510(k) cleared) and compared to the results of standard of care EGD plus biopsies (if applicable) |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Performance of Barrett's Esophagus Test (LDT) compared to standard of care. | Performance of the biomarker for detecting BE or confirming no BE in the study population including sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value (NPV), and positive predictive value (PPV) on samples collected using the EndoSign Cell collection device as compared to endoscopy and pathology. | Sample collection prior to standard of care endoscopy |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Assess subject experience with the EndoSign Cell Collection Device | Use of a 10-point scale to assess subject's experience with the device where 0 is no issues and 10 is the worst experience on a number of device-specific questions | Through the end of the study-about 9 months |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Interim assessment of number of subjects with each diagnosis | At 50% total recruitment to various diagnoses, the Sponsor will evaluate the number of subjects in that cohort with complete clinical data and sample collection. The Sponsor may issue notices to recruiting sites temporarily or permanently closing a cohort to new subjects. | Halfway through the study at about 4 months |
