BEST-RPP Pilot: Screening for Esophageal Cancer in Rural Oregon Without an Endoscopy

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06335966

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06335966 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. It is categorized as an unspecified phase, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 110 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is OHSU Knight Cancer Institute, which has 242 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.

The record links to 1 condition, with Esophageal Cancer appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Screening with swallowable esophageal cell-collection devices (SECD) is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.

Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06335966 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Oregon. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above.
