Paclitaxel Coated Balloon for Treating Esophageal Strictures
This study will test a new way to help people who have a tight spot in their esophagus that makes swallowing hard. This tight spot is called a benign esophageal stricture. The study will use a special balloon called ProTractX3™ DCB. This balloon is coated with a medicine called paclitaxel that helps keep the esophagus open. Benign means the stricture is not cancerous.
To join, you must:
- Be 22 years or older and have a stricture that was treated at least twice before.
- Have a swallowing score of 2 or more and a narrow esophagus less than 13 mm wide.
- Agree to attend follow-up visits and sign a consent form.
Key Points:
- Study involves follow-up visits to check how well the treatment works.
- It's important to be able to undergo endoscopy, a test to see inside your esophagus.
- Pregnant women or those planning pregnancy in 12 months cannot participate.
