This study focuses on demonstrating the value of probe-based Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy (pCLE) in guiding endoscopic therapeutic procedures in Barrett's Esophagus (BE). It is a randomized controlled outcomes study including patients already treated for Barrett's Esophagus lesion(s) and undergoing high definition white light endoscopy follow up procedure, with or without pCLE (2 arms will be considered in this study). The procedures will be carried out per standards of practice with appropriately trained physicians.

Treatment modalities can include endoscopic mucosal resection, radio-frequency ablation or photodynamic therapy
Treatment modalities include endoscopic mucosal resection, radio-frequency ablation, or photodynamic therapy. probe-based Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy is used to decide on re-treatment or not, and to guide and evaluate the treatment during the same endoscopic procedure.

Number of Barrett's Esophagus (BE) Participants With a Composite Outcome of "Optimally Treated"
Number of Barrett's Esophagus (BE) Participants with a Composite Outcome of "Optimally Treated", in each group defined as patients for whom all lesions are ablated when disease is present, or not ablated when disease is absent, or have complete ablation of all disease at the 3 month follow-up.
Time frame: 3 month follow-up endoscopic procedure
