Background & Aims: Photodynamic therapy with porfimer sodium combined with acid suppression (PHOPDT) is used to treat patients with Barrett's esophagus (BE) with high-grade dysplasia (HGD). A 5-year phase 3 trial was conducted to determine the extent of squamous overgrowth of BE with HGD after PHOPDT.
Methods: Squamous overgrowth was compared in patients with BE with HGD randomly assigned (2:1) to receive PHOPDT (n=138) or 20 mg omeprazole twice daily (n=70).
