Study Summary

This randomized phase II trial studies the safety of and how well aspirin works in preventing Barrett's esophagus from returning after it has been successfully eliminated by radiofrequency ablation. Studying samples of tissue from patients with Barrett's esophagus for the levels of a specific protein that is linked to developing Barrett's esophagus may help doctors learn whether aspirin can prevent it from returning after it has been successfully treated.

Primary Outcome

Measured the absolute and relative values in percentage of biomarker levels CDX2 mRNA levels in the esophageal mucosa at baseline and 12 months for each participant taking aspirin versus placebo at Location A (1 cm above GE Junction.) The difference in the change were measured by the total RNAs were isolated from squamous and neosquamous mucosal biopsy specimens using Trizol and quantitated by spectrophotometry.
