Poster 2 - TU1385 About Barrett's Esophagus Barrett's Esophagus is a pre-cancerous condition of the esophagus commonly associated with gastric reflux disease (GERD) which affects as many as 60 million Americans. 3.5 MM people in the US have Barrett's and if left untreated, it can develop into adenocarcinoma, which is one of the most rapidly increasing and deadliest cancers in the United States. The risk of developing cancer with BE is 30 to 125 times higher than those without this condition. The 5-year survival rate is near 15%. About C2 Therapeutics C2 Therapeutics was founded in 2007 to address the limitations of current Barrett's Esophagus treatment options. Headquartered in Redwood City, California, C2 is a privately held company whose C2's Coldplay Cryoballoon Focal Ablation System sets a new standard for simplicity in ablation of Barrett's Esophagus. The device is a through-the-scope, highly compliant balloon catheter that is simultaneously inflated and cooled by an inert refrigerant delivered from a small disposable handheld unit. Operation is intuitive, fast, and cost-effective. The C2 Coldplay Cryoballoon Focal Ablation System eliminates the need for precise sizing, multiple deployment steps, and controller units.
