About this study

This project aims to establish a comprehensive artificial intelligence system for detecting and qualitative diagnosing breast lesions. Mammary images will be used to construct a diagnosis method based on deep learning. The system is proposed to automatically analyze the type of mammary glands, automatically identify and mark all breast lesions on the mammography images, provide the malignancy probability judgment of the lesions, the BI-RADS classification and the clinical suggestion, and also automatically generate the structured diagnosis report.

Read the detailed description

This is a multi-center study.The project contains a retrospective part(3000 samples anticipated) and a prospective part(7000 samples anticipated). In the retrospective part, investigators collected subjects with mammary images to design the deep learning method and construct a detective and diagnostic model for breast lesions. In the prospective part, investigators validate the accuracy of the constructed deep learning method, and established artificial intelligence system focusing on mammary diagnosis. Investigators will also explore the application pattern of the artificial intelligence system in clinical practice.

mammography

What participants receive

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

  • mammographyDiagnostic test

    When a woman comes to the clinic to receive mammography. Then a radiologist will give a BI-RADS classification after reviewing the images. If a BI-RADS 4/5 is obtained, the woman will receive pathological biopsy to ensure there is a benign or malignant lesion. If a BI-RADS 3 is obtained, the woman will be followed up by a half-year interval until two year after the first mammography. At each follow up, she will receive mammography. If a BI-RADS 4/5 is obtained at follow up, she will receive pathological biopsy; if a BI-RADS 1/2/3 is obtained at follow up, she will be followed up by a half-year interval until two year. If a BI-RADS 1/2 is obtained at the first mammography, the woman will receive a second mammography after two year. During the study period, breast examination and results will be recorded for every subject. Radiologists will give the diagnosis with and without AI support.

What is being measured

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

  1. benign-malignant diagnosis accuracy

    the accuracy of the AI model, radiogist with AI support, radiologist alone for binary diagnosis of a benign or malignant breast lesion according to pathology. If either one mammography of BI-RADS 4/5 in the first examination or during the two year' follow up examination is obtained,a pathological examination is performed, the lesion is judged benign or malignant according to pathological results.

    Measured: from the first mammography to pathological result obtained(an average of 3 weeks if mammography BI-RADS 4 or 5 obtained)

  2. benign-malignant diagnosis accuracy

    the accuracy of the AI model, radiogist with AI support, radiologist alone for binary diagnosis of a benign or malignant breast lesion according to follow up. If a 2-year mammography of BI-RADS 1/2/3 is obtained, the lesion is considered benign. If either one mammography of BI-RADS 4/5 during the two year is obtained,a pathological examination is performed to ensure the benign or malignant lesion

    Measured: from the first mammography to 2-year-after mammography

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. lesion detection accuracy

    the detection rate of the constructed deep learning method for detecting benign or malignant breast lesion according to radiologist's subjective diagnosis or follow up as reference. If a radiologist suggests existence of a lesion at the first mammography or at each follow-up mammography during the 2-year period, it is considered that a lesion exists

    Measured: from the first mammography to radiologist diagnosis (within 3 days after the mammography taken)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Women With Breast Cancer, run by Peking University Cancer Hospital & Institute at 8 sites in China.

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 3 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 Jul 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in China. 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?

benign-malignant diagnosis accuracy (time frame: from the first mammography to pathological result obtained(an average of 3 weeks if mammography BI-RADS 4 or 5 obtained)). 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 27 Jul 2021.
