Trial summary

Probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) is an endoscopic technique that enables to evaluate the inflammation activity of ulcerative colitis with excellent correlation with histopathology. However this requires much experience, which limits the application of pCLE. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Automatic Evaluation of Inflammation Activity in Ulcerative Colitis Using Probe-based Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy With Artificial Intelligence

Probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) is an endoscopic technique that enables to evaluate the inflammation activity of ulcerative colitis with excellent correlation with histopathology. However this requires much experience, which limits the application of pCLE. The investigators designed a computer-aided diagnosis program using deep neural network to make diagnosis automatically in pCLE examination and contrast its performance with endoscopists.

Being tested
The diagnosis of Artificial Intelligence and endoscopist
Medical subject headings
Colitis, Ulcerative

What participants receive

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

  • The diagnosis of Artificial Intelligence and endoscopistDiagnostic test

    When the colon mucosa is observed using pCLE, endoscopist and AI will make a diagnosis independently. In addition, the endoscopist can not see the diagnosis of AI.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Colon mucosa observed by pCLEpCLE is used to evaluate the inflammation activity in different parts of the colon mucosa
Receives: Diagnostic Test: The diagnosis of Artificial Intelligence and endoscopist

What is being measured

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

  1. The diagnosis efficiency of Artificial Intelligence

    The primary outcome is to test the diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV of the Artificial Intelligence for evaluation of inflammation activity of UC on pCLE examination.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Contrast the diagnosis efficiency of Artificial Intelligence with endoscopists

    The secondary outcome is to compare the diagnosis efficiency (including diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV ) between Artificial Intelligence and endoscopists.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ulcerative Colitis and Artificial Intelligence, run by Shandong University 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 18 Oct 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 Yanqing Li (053182169385, liyanqing@sdu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The diagnosis efficiency of Artificial Intelligence (time frame: 3 months). 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 18 Oct 2019.
