E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To evaluate the performance of FME with topical administration of bevacizumab-800CW and/or cetuximab-800CW or ICG for detection of neoplasia in BE patients compared to HD-WLE to make an estimation of the diagnostic accuracy in terms of sensitivity and specificity in order to make a power size calculation for the Phase III trial. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To collect more safety data of topical administration, by spraying bevacizumab-IRDye800CW and/or cetuximab-800CW or ICG. Quantify in vivo the NIR fluorescent signal of Bevacizumab-800CW by means of the MDSFR/SFF spectroscopy probe. To evaluate the degree of in vivo fluorescence intensity and ex vivo grade of VEGF and EGFR expression for the different stages of esophageal dysplasia-carcinoma sequence. Interrogate new EC targets derived from our recent findings on EC dysplasia targets to further improve EC detection by multi parametric examination and disease stratification over using Bevacizumab-IRDye800CW. Eventually further specify and objectify the improvement of NIR-FME leading to reduction of unnecessary biopsies. Investigate the improvement of speed, efficiency and quality of the NIR-FME examination.

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
- Macroscopic fluorescent signal levels and tracer distribution observed by flexible fluorescence molecular endoscopy. - Macroscopic quantification of the fluorescent signal observed by means of the MDSFR/SFF spectroscopy probe. - Microscopic distribution and (semi-quantitative) fluorescent signal intensity of bevacizumab-IRDye800CW in the EMR specimen and biopsies correlated to VEGF distribution and level of expression as well as cetuximab-800CW and EGFR distribution and level of expression. - Ex-vivo we will perform binding experiments with tracers against GREM1, -SULF1 and –PRKCi on the fresh EMR and surgical EC specimen if available and compare them against the in-vivo WLE/NIR-FME findings. We will analyze the sensitivity and specificity of the novel markers alone or in combination. The targeting moieties will be coupled with different fluorophores allowing for multi-parametric analysis.
|
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
An interim analysis will be conducted by the investigators involved in this study after the first 15 patients. The interim analysis will include the primary endpoint as well as key safety parameters. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
- The correlation between fluorescence intensity and the grade of VEGF expression on immunohistochemistry, in (pre)malignant lesions of the esophagus. - Adverse events (AE), serious adverse events (SAE), and suspected unexpected serious adverse reactions (SUSARs). Patient characteristics (age, sex, BMI, history and morbidity, presence of GERD, treatment outcome, prior BE diagnosis and classification, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and temperature during the procedure). - EMR specimen and biopsy characteristics (grade of dysplasia or tumor stage, size and/or piecemeal resection, resection margins, presence of metachronous dysplastic lesions) - Histopathologic examinations related to ex vivo VEGF expression and bevacizumab-IRDye800CW distribution and ex vivo EGFR expression and cetuximab-800CW distribution.
