About this study

Official title: Multi-zone Computer-aided Prostate Segmentation on MR Images Using a Deep Learning-based Approach

Because the diagnostic criteria for prostate cancer are different in the peripheral and the transition zone, prostate segmentation is needed for any computer-aided diagnosis system aimed at characterizing prostate lesions on magnetic resonance (MR) images. Manual segmentation is time consuming and may differ between radiologists with different expertise. We developed and trained a convolutional neural network algorithm for segmenting the whole prostate, the transition zone and the anterior fibromuscular stroma on T2-weighted images of 787 MRIs from an existing prospective radiological pathological correlation database containing prostate MRI of patients treated by prostatectomy between 2008 and 2014 (CLARA-P database).

The purpose of this study is to validate this algorithm on an independent cohort of patients.

What participants receive

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

  • Comparison of prostate multi-zone segmentation obtained with an automatic deep learning-based algorithm and two expert radiologistsOther

    The algorithm is used to perform a multizone segmentation of the prostate including delineation of : the whole prostate contours, the transition zone contours, the anterior fibromuscular stroma.

    The contours is independently corrected by 2 radiologists. The corrected contours of the different zones will be stored and for each zone 6 different metrics will be used to evaluate the difference between the initial and corrected contours:

    • Mean Mesh Distance: Average Boundary Distance (ABD) for each point of the reference segmentation. The distance to the closest point of the compared segmentation is first computed. Then the average of all these distances is computed and gives the ABD
    • General Hausdorff distance (HD)
    • 95% percentile (P) of the HD and the 95th (P) of the asymmetric HD distribution
    • 95% HD modified (HD95_1): different approach by first computing the 95th (P) of the asymmetric HD then taking the maximum
    • Dice coefficient
    • Difference in volumes

Patients with a MRI on a 1.5 Tesla unitThe total validation cohort is composed of axial T2-weighted images of the prostate obtained from 31 prostate MRIs on a 1.5T unit randomly chosen among the prostate MRIs performed at the Hospices Civils de Lyon in 20162015-2019

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean Mesh Distance (Mean) between the contours of the whole prostate made by the algorithm and the two radiologists

    The Mean Mesh Distance corresponds to the Average Boundary Distance (ABD) for each point of the reference segmentation. The distance to the closest point of the compared segmentation is first computed. Then the average of all these distances is computed and gives the ABD.

    The Mean Mesh Distance between the contours of the whole prostate made by the algorithm and each radiologist will be used as primary outcome measure.

    Measured: Month 11

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Prostate Cancer, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site in France.

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 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 10 Dec 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 France. 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 Olivier ROUVIERE, Pr (472 11 61 67 ext. +33, Olivier.rouviere@chu-lyon.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mean Mesh Distance (Mean) between the contours of the whole prostate made by the algorithm and the two radiologists (time frame: Month 11). 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 10 Dec 2019.
