BEST4 Screening Trial: A Randomised Control Trial Comparing Capsule Sponge Test Screening to Usual Care
This trial is looking to see if capsule sponge test screening can find Barrett’s
oesophagus and help to prevent oesophageal cancer (cancer of the food
pipe).
The capsule sponge is a new type of test involving a small sponge on a string
that is used to collect cells from the oesophagus. These cells can then be looked
at for signs of Barrett’s.
Your information collected by Heartburn Health may be used in this study based
on your age, sex, health information and location. If your information is used,
you may be selected at random to be invited to have a capsule sponge test.
Full details about the trial can be found on the study website https://best4trial.org/. Further information will also be provided if you are invited to have the test.
