Trial Outcomes & Findings for Ursodiol in Treating Patients With Barrett Esophagus and Low-Grade Dysplasia (NCT NCT01097304)

NCT ID: NCT01097304

Last Updated: 2017-12-19

Results Overview

8OHdG will be assessed by percentage of positively stained nuclear area. A paired t-test at a one-sided 0.05 significance level will be used to assess change during intervention. The observed results will be reported along with the corresponding confidence intervals.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to 6 months

Population: participants with fewer than 500 total nuclei in longitudinally sectioned crypts opening to the lumen were excluded from analysis

8OHdG will be assessed by percentage of positively stained nuclear area. A paired t-test at a one-sided 0.05 significance level will be used to assess change during intervention. The observed results will be reported along with the corresponding confidence intervals.
