The study is about using a special balloon, called the ProTractX3™ DCB, to help treat benign esophageal strictures. A benign esophageal stricture is a non-cancerous narrowing of the food pipe, making it hard to swallow. This study aims to see if the balloon is safe and works well for this condition.
Who Can Join:
- Adults 22 years or older with a history of esophageal stricture that needed dilation (making the food pipe wider) at least twice.
- People who can visit the doctor for follow-ups and agree to the study rules.
Who Cannot Join:
- People with more than one hard-to-treat stricture or those needing more than one balloon.
- Pregnant women or those planning to become pregnant soon.
- People allergic to paclitaxel, a drug used in the balloon, or those with certain medical conditions.
Key Points:
- Participants must attend follow-up visits.
- Certain health conditions may exclude someone from participating.
- Participants need to be able to swallow normally without a feeding tube.
