| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Phase 1 will be used to develop a tissue recognition algorithm by correlating the measured fluorescence spectra to the histology of the corresponding tissue. In phase 2 the WavSTAT optical biopsy will be validated and assessed for the following outcome parameters: 1. sensitivity and specificity of WavSTAT for the detection of early Barrett neoplasia (HGIN/EC) 2. additional value of WavSTAT to standard inspection with WLE, compared to inspection with WLE alone for the detection of early Barrett neoplasia (HGIN/EC). | — |
