Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, feasibility, tissue response, and subject side effects of liquid nitrogen sprayed through a catheter (CryoSpray AblationTM, "CSA" or "cryospray therapy") via endoscope in subjects with radiation induced proctitis.

Detailed Description

The proposed study is a single center, ten patient pilot study to evaluate the safety and feasibility of sprayed liquid nitrogen through a catheter via endoscope in subjects with radiation proctitis. There will be two groups. Subjects in Group 1 will receive a cryospray applied to healthy tissue for 10 seconds. The cryospray will be repeated four (4) times in sequential fashion for a total of 40 seconds of cryospray therapy. Subjects in Group 2 will receive a cryospray applied to healthy tissue for 20 seconds. The cryospray will be repeated two (2) times in sequential fashion for a total of 40 seconds of cryospray therapy.
