About this study

Official title: Visualization of a VEGF-targeted Near-Infrared Fluorescent Tracer in Patients With Familial Adenomatous Polyposis During Fluorescence Endoscopy A Single Center Pilot Intervention Study

There is a need for better visualization of polyps during surveillance endoscopy in patients with hereditary colon cancer syndromes like Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP) and Lynch Syndrome (LS), to improve the adenoma detection rate. Optical molecular imaging of adenoma associated biomarkers is a promising technique to accommodate this need. The biomarker Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) is overexpressed in adenomatous colon tissue versus normal tissue and has proven to be a valid target for molecular imaging. The University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG) developed a fluorescent tracer by labeling the VEGF-targeting humanized monoclonal antibody bevacizumab, currently used in anti-cancer therapy, with the fluorescent dye IRDye800CW. The investigators hypothesize that when bevacizumab-IRDye800CW is administered to patients, it accumulates in VEGF expressing adenomas, enabling adenoma visualization using a newly developed near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence endoscopy platform (NL43407.042.13). This hypothesis will be tested in this feasibility study, next to the determination of the optimal tracer dose.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Bevacizumab-IRDye800CWDrug

    Also called Beva-800CW, Bevacizumab-800CW, Avastin-800CW (Roche)

    Intravenous administration of a 4.5 mg, 10 mg or 25 mg of Bevacizumab-IRDye800CW 3 days prior to the fluorescence endoscopy procedure.

  • Near infrared fluorescence endoscopy platformDevice

    A flexible fiber-bundle is attached with its proximal end to a camera which can detect near infrared fluorescent light. The distal end is inserted into the working channel of a clinical video endoscope, which is used for the surveillance endoscopy procedure.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of fluorescent adenomatous polyps during surveillance endoscopy using the near-infrared fluorescence endoscopy platform in patients with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP), after administration of the fluorescent tracer bevacizumab-IRDye800CW.

    The main objective of this study is to determine the sensitivity of the fluorescent tracer bevacizumab-IRDye800CW and the near-infrared fluorescence endoscopy platform in identifying adenomatous polyps during surveillance endoscopy in patients with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP).

    Measured: At surveillance endoscopy

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Meassure the mean fluorescent intensity of the polyps during fluorescence endoscopy, resect the polyps and score VEGF intensity after immunohistochemistry for VEGF.

    In this outcome meassure, it is determined if there is a correlation between the observed mean fluorescence intensity of a polyp and the VEGF expression in the same polyp, as determined with immunohistochemistry and eventually RNA/DNA analysis. In other words, does the mean fluorescence intensity reflect the VEGF expression of the polyp?

    Measured: Two years

  2. Number of participants with Serious Adverse Events as a measure of safety and Tolerability.

    Collection of safety data regarding administration of Bevacizumab-IRDye800CW (adverse events (AE), serious adverse events (SAE) and suspected unexpected serious adverse reactions (SUSAR)).

    Measured: Up to 1 week after administration

  3. Measure the mean fluorescent intensity of adenomas and compare this between the three different dosing groups to determine the best tracer dose for the fluorescence endoscopy procedure.

    The goal of this outcome measure, is to determine the optimal tracer dose (4.5, 10 or 25 mg) of bevacizumab-IRDye800CW for the molecular-guided fluorescence endoscopy procedure to visualize adenomas. The fluorescence intensity of adenomas will be measured in vivo during fluorescence endoscopy and ex vivo (e.g. using confocal fluorescence microscopy, spectroscopy). This will be compared between the three subgroups (patients with different time intervals between tracer injection and endoscopy procedure) to determine the best time interval between tracer injection and endoscopy procedure.

    Measured: Two years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Bevacizumab-IRDye800CW and Near infrared fluorescence endoscopy platform in people with Adenomatous Polyposis Coli, run by University Medical Center Groningen at 1 site in Netherlands.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Oct 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Netherlands. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of fluorescent adenomatous polyps during surveillance endoscopy using the near-infrared fluorescence endoscopy platform in patients with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP), after administration of the fluorescent tracer bevacizumab-IRDye800CW. (time frame: At surveillance endoscopy). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Oct 2023.
