About this study

Official title: A Prospective Clinical Study on the Real-world Diagnostic Effectiveness of Artificial Intelligence Algorithm in Diabetic Retinopathy Screening

Recently, artificial intelligence algorithm has made great progress in the prediction of diabetic retinopathy based on fundus images,showing very high sensitivity and specificity. However,the real-world diagnosis effectiveness of deep learning model is still unclear.

This study is designed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of such an algorithm in detecting referable diabetic retinopathy.

Read the detailed description

This prospective clinical study is designed to evaluate the real-world diagnostic performance of an AI model in detecting referable diabetic retinopathy (RDR, defined as more than mild NPDR), by evaluating its sensitivity and specificity compared to the clinical reference standard- seven-field stereoscopic photography.

The subjects enrolled in this study are patients with T1DM or T2DM. Qualified color fundus images and seven-field stereoscopic photography images of each eyes of the subject are taken. The fundus images are graded for RDR by the algorithm under test, and seven-field stereoscopic photography images of the same eye are graded by ophthalmologist, which serving as the gold standard to compare the algorithm performance against.

The trial plans to enroll 1000 subjects. With a 95% confidence interval, the sensitivity is expected to be at least 87% whereas the specificity at 89% or above.

The quality of fundus images are assessed according to the National DR Screening Imaging and Grading Guideline published by Chinese Ophthalmological Society and Chinese Medical Doctor Association in 2017.

The grading of RDR is based on the National DR Clinical Diagnosis and Treatment Guideline published by Chinese Ophthalmological Society in 2014.

A brief overview of the clinical protocol is as follows:

Candidate recruiting phase: recruiting qualified participants; Clinical phase: imaging and diagnosing by AI and ophthalmologist ; Statistical analysis phase: comparing two outputs; Closing phase: final report and archiving

What participants receive

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

  • diabetic retinopathyOther

    Patients with diabetes enrolled will undergo nonmydriatic fundus imaging and seven-field stereoscopic photography. The images will be run on an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm. The diagnosis of the AI algorithm will be compared to the diagnosis of seven-field stereoscopic photography by ophthalmologist. Sensitivity and specificity will be calculated to evaluate the performance of AI algorithm.

What is being measured

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

  1. Sensitivity and specificity

    To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the model in detecting referable DR (more than mild NPDR)

    Measured: No more than 1 day for each subject

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetic Retinopathy, run by Shenzhen Second People's Hospital at 1 site 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 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Apr 2019. 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jiying Hu, PhD (+86-1808-6481-821, 18086481821@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Sensitivity and specificity (time frame: No more than 1 day for each subject). 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 11 Apr 2019.
