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 volunteers

Qualifiers

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.

Previous radiation therapy for esophageal cancer

Known immunoglobulin allergy

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

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

Time frame
12 months
2

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

Time frame
12 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Collect safety data on oral administration of (combined) bevacizumab-800CW and cetuximab-800CW.

Time frame

3

Temperature

Degrees Celsius

Time frame
Five minutes before and ten minutes after tracer administration
4

To (semi)quantify and evaluate the in vivo fluorescent signal of bevacizumab-800CW and cetuximab-800CW

Correlate and validate fluorescence signals detected in vivo with ex vivo histopathology grade of dysplasia and VEGFA and EGFR expression
