People with Barrett's esophagus are at higher than average risk of developing esophageal cancer. Obeticholic Acid (OCA) is a medication similar to bile acids (a fluid made and released by the liver). OCA binds to a group of cells in the intestine that is believed to have a positive effect on preventing cancer development. The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effects of OCA with that of a placebo on the risk of developing esophageal cancer in people with Barrett's esophagus.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of a drug called CA-4948 in combination with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel.

The risk factors that drive health are unique to various patient populations and different patient populations use different language to communicate their health risk factors. The health risk factors and language that patients use also differs by locations. We are holding focus group sessions with family medicine physicians, senior patients, caregivers of senior patients, patients experiencing homelessness, and patients experiencing food insecurity to gain a deeper understanding of the major health risk factors they face and the words they use to describe them.
