Trial summary

Detection and differentiation of esophageal squamous neoplasia (ESN) are of value in improving patient outcomes. Probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) can diagnose ESN accurately.However this requires much experience, which limits the application of pCLE. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Automatic Diagnosis of Early Esophageal Squamous Neoplasia Using Probe-based Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy With Artificial Intelligence

Detection and differentiation of esophageal squamous neoplasia (ESN) are of value in improving patient outcomes. Probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) can diagnose ESN accurately.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.

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

    Suspected esophageal mucosal lesion is observed using pCLE, endoscopist and AI will make a diagnosis independently. In addition, the endoscopist can not see the diagnosis of AI. After a washout period, nonexpert endoscopists take the second assessment with AI assistance.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
esophageal mucosal lesions observed by pCLEpCLE is used to distinguish the suspected lesions detected by white light endoscopy or IEE.
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 diagnosing esophageal mucosal disease on real-time pCLE examination.

    Measured: 3 years

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 for diagnosing esophageal mucosal disease on real-time pCLE examination) between Artificial Intelligence and endoscopists.

    Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Esophageal Neoplasms 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 2 inclusion and 5 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 19 Nov 2024. 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?

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?

The diagnosis efficiency of Artificial Intelligence (time frame: 3 years). 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 19 Nov 2024.
