Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?
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.

They must not have used aspirin or similar drugs recently, agree to use contraception, and have normal blood counts and organ function. Excluded are those on anticoagulants, certain other medications, recent cancer treatments (except non-melanoma skin cancer), uncontrolled illnesses, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and those with HIV.Inclusion Criteria
My Barrett's esophagus was completely treated with radiofrequency ablation, confirmed by two exams.
