SELF-ASSEMBLING PEPTIDE MATRIX FOR THE PREVENTION OF ESOPHAGEAL STRICTURE AFTER ENDOSCOPIC DISSECTION

摘要

Methods for preventing esophageal stricture following an endoscopic resection procedure in a subject are provided. A solution having a pH level of about 3.5 and including a self-assembling peptide comprising between about 7 amino acids and about 32 amino acids in an effective amount and in an effective concentration to form a hydrogel under esophageal conditions to provide prevention of esophageal stricture may be introduced to a target site.
