Inclusion Criteria
  • Patient must have biopsy proven high-grade (severe)dysplasia, carcinoma-in-situ or early stage adenocarcinoma
  • Patient may have received prior therapy; e.g.Nd-YAG laser, radiation therapy or chemotherapy. At least one-month must have elapsed between prior treatments and PDT
  • Tumors (HGD/CIS or early adenocarcinoma) can be primary or recurrent, Stage 0 or I N0M (any)
  • Patients must have no contraindication to endoscopy
  • Male or female patients must be 18 years old or older. Female patients must not be pregnant and must be practicing a medically acceptable form of birth control or be sterile or post-menopausal. A Pregnancy test is required and must be negative.
  • Patients must sign an Informed Consent according to FDA guidelines and be acceptable to the RPCI IRB
  • Patients must have a Karnofsky status 50 or above.
  • Patients with early invasive adenocarcinoma will be included only if they are considered poor surgical risks, have failed or refused XRT/chemo, or refused surgery.
  • If the patients has had cancer other than non-melanoma skin cancer, their treating physician must deem them disease-free.
Exclusion Criteria
  • Patients with tumors of grade greater than T-1.
  • Porphyria or hypersensitivity to porphyrin or porphyrin-like compounds
  • WBC<4000; platelet count<100,000; prothrombin times 1.5 times above upper normal limit.
  • Patients with impaired renal and/or hepatic function (total serum bilirubin > 3.0 mg/d, serum creatinine>3 mg%, alkaline phosphatase (hepatic) or SGOT> 3 times the upper normal limit.
  • Patients on concurrent chemotherapy or radiation therapy will be excluded as well as those having received prior treatment for the esophageal cancer within 4 weeks of enrollment.

Light Dose EscalationHPPHLight Dose escalated from 150 joules/cm to 200 joules/cm
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Optimal Light Dose24 hours

Using toxicity to normal surrounding tissue as a determinant and using two HPPH doses of PDT in HGD, CIS or early adenocarcinoma in Barrett's esophagus, to determine the optimal light dose at each HPPH dose

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Toxicity to normal surrounding tissue24 hours

To determine the tocixity to normal surrounding tissue of treating at approximately 24 hours(21-26hr) post injection of HPPH

Comparing HPPH to Photofrin5 years

To determine the length of time of cutaneous photosensitivity of HPPH compared to historical data on Photofrin

Effect of injection24 hours

To determine the effect of a 24 hours interval between injection of HPPH and light treatment

Efficacy of Treatment5 years

A secondary objective is to determine efficacy of treatment at each set of paraments, i.e. ability to completely resolve the CIS, HGD or early cancer.

Resolve Barrett's mucosa5 years

An Additional secondary objective is to determine ability of PDT to resolve the Barrett's mucosa
