Abstract in brief

  • The ABBA trial compared the effectiveness of acetic acid-targeted biopsies versus standard nontargeted biopsies during Barrett’s surveillance, showing similar detection rates for neoplasia, including high-grade dysplasia and cancer.
  • The study demonstrated that conducting a crossover trial with both techniques was feasible, with high patient and clinician acceptance, and indicated potential cost savings due to fewer biopsies needed with the acetic acid method.
  • Findings suggest that a larger, fully powered noninferiority trial is possible, which could confirm if acetic acid-targeted biopsies are as effective as the standard method while being more efficient and acceptable.]

Very proud to have been part of the Portsmouth Research Team - a really important piece of work which can help improve the experience of patients with Barrett’s oesophagus and save the NHS money from reduced no’s of biopsies! https://t.co/ccGGFJH54a
