About this trial
Previous studies have confirmed the great potential of quantitative fluorescence molecular endoscopy (qFME) when looking at additional lesion detection initially missed by high-definition white light endoscopy (HD-WLE) for surveillance of Barrett's esophagus.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
BE patients without dysplasia and with suspected/diagnosed low-grade dysplasia (LGD), high-grade dysplasia (HGD) or superficial EAC and planned diagnostic and/or therapeutic endoscopy
Written informed consent is obtained
Disqualifiers
Patients under the age of eighteen.
Submucosal and invasive EAC, also defined as EAC with tumor, node and metastasis (TNM)-classification other than T1.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Feasibility of shortening qFME procedural time by oral administration of bevacizumab-800CW and cetuximab-800CW for the detection of BE neoplasia.
Evaluating the performance of qFME with oral administration of bevacizumab-800CW and cetuximab-800CW for detection of neoplasia in BE patients compared to HD-WLE. This comparison will be based on target-to-background rations calculated from the in vivo fluorescence images and quantified by MDSFR/SFF spectroscopy measurements
Evaluate if the combination of tracers improves lesion detection by the number of invisible lesions detected
Increased lesion detection in % compared to previously gathered amount of invisible lesions with topical tracer administration
Secondary outcomes
Collect safety data on oral administration of (combined) bevacizumab-800CW and cetuximab-800CW.
