About this study

Official title: Clinical Validation of a CAD System for the Automated Identification of Pulmonary Metastases in Oncological Patients - CADM5L

To compare the diagnostic performance and time efficiency of Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) assisted reading for the identification of pulmonary nodules in chest Computed Tomography (CT) from oncological patients with that of unassisted reading.

Read the detailed description

The main aim of this study is to compare the diagnostic performance of CAD assisted interpretation with that of unassisted reading in the detection of lung metastases in consecutive patients staged for extrathoracic malignancies. This study also aims at validating a new Web/Cloud based workflow for the use of CAD systems in clinical practice, not requiring installation of additional software or hardware and potentially representing a cost-effective CAD solution for clinical facilities.

What is being measured

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

  1. Per-patient detection sensitivity unassisted vs CAD assisted reading

    Comparison of the detection sensitivity between unassisted and CAD assisted reading. Per patient analysis

    Measured: 1 month after collection of data

  2. Per-lesion detection sensitivity unassisted vs CAD assisted reading

    Comparison of the detection sensitivity between unassisted and CAD assisted reading. Per-lesion analysis. Sub-analyses per nodule tissue, nodule dimension and nodule localization are included

    Measured: 1 month after collection of data

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Comparison of reading time between unassisted vs CAD assisted reading

    Measured: 1 month after collection of data

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer Metastatic, run by Candiolo Cancer Institute - IRCCS at 1 site in Italy.

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 1 inclusion and 6 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 7 Jun 2017. 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 Italy. 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?

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?

Per-patient detection sensitivity unassisted vs CAD assisted reading (time frame: 1 month after collection of data). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 7 Jun 2017.
