Barrett's esophagus (BE) is a known precursor to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). Guidelines recommend BE screening in populations with multiple risk factors, for which non-endoscopic esophageal cell collection with biomarker testing is considered as an acceptable alternative to esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). The aim of this study was to evaluate analytical performance characteristics of EsoGuard (EG), a DNA methylation biomarker assay, as a laboratory-developed test (LDT) in esophageal samples collected with the swallowable EsoCheck (EC) device. EG is a next-generation sequencing (NGS) assay that evaluates methylated () and (), clinically validated biomarkers for the detection of BE and EAC. The studies were conducted according to standards of College of American Pathology (CAP), Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA), and New York (NY) state requirements for the analytical validation of molecular assays. Comparison to Sanger sequencing showed that EG was 100% accurate at all 31 CpG sites evaluated by the assay. The analytical sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the assay were 89%, 100%, and 96%, respectively. Intra- and inter-assay precision was 100%. The limit of detection (LOD) was 1 in 400 methylated cells, and the reference range was 84%. In summary, EsoGuard demonstrates high analytical accuracy, repeatability, and reproducibility in samples collected using the EsoCheck device.
