Trial summary

A new software product takes two chest radiographs, aligns them, and then subtracts one image from the other. The resulting image represents an image showing any differences between them. The study is to determine whether radiologists using this new software perform better with it than when they do not use it. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Reader Study to Demonstrate That Use of DeltaView™ is Superior to the Use Standard Prior and Current Antero/Posterior (AP/PA) X-ray Image Pair

A new software product takes two chest radiographs, aligns them, and then subtracts one image from the other. The resulting image represents an image showing any differences between them. The study is to determine whether radiologists using this new software perform better with it than when they do not use it.

What is being measured

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

  1. Localized Receiver Operating Characteristic (LROC) Comparison

    The area under the LROC curve will be compared for the chest radiograph interpretations done without the new software and those done with the new software. Improvement will be demonstrated if the improvement with the new software is statistically significant at the p=<0.05. There were 422 cases in the total study. 20 of these were inserted as "noise" cases, not to be analyzed. Thus there were 402 cases to be analyzed. There were 120 cases with nodules and 282 without a nodule. LROC is a method for measuring the success or failure of a method where there is a tradeoff between the detection of lung nodules that are there (true positives) and the detection that the radiologist considers to be a nodule where no nodule is present (false positive). It yields a single number that done not have a unit of measurement.

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Sensitivity and Specificity

    Sensitivity and specificity will be measured. If the radiologists using the new software have higher sensitivity, statistically significant at the p=< 0.05, the use of the new software will be considered to have resulted in improvement. A decrease in specificity is expected.

    Measured: 1 day

  2. False Positive Decisions of Radiologists

    This is a comparison of the radiologists working without and with the software. The false positive rate is the percentage of cases in which the radiologists identified a lesions/location suspected of being cancer at a location where cancer was not present. . A false positive represents a location selected on a chest image without cancer and, also, a mark on a chest image where cancer was present, but a different location, one without cancer, was marked.The radiologists could mark up to five locations on an image and had to provide a confidence rating for each. This analysis is of the single mark with the highest confidence level.

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Neoplasm, run by Georgetown University at 1 site in United States.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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 1 Dec 2015. 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 United States. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Jul 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Localized Receiver Operating Characteristic (LROC) Comparison (time frame: 1 day). 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 1 Dec 2015.
