About this study

Official title: Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Real-time Detection of Missed Lesions During Colonoscopy: A Prospective Study

A prospective validation of real time deep learning artificial intelligence model for detection of missed colonic polyps

Read the detailed description

Consecutive adult patients, age 40 or above, who were scheduled to have outpatient colonoscopy in the Queen Mary Hospital were invited to participate. Patients were excluded if they were unable to provide informed consent, considered to be unsafe for taking biopsy or polypectomy including patients with bleeding tendency and those with severe comorbid illnesses. Also, patients with history of inflammatory bowel disease, familial adenomatous polyposis, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome or other polyposis syndromes were excluded.

The primary endoscopist conducted the colonoscopic examination in the usual manner. All colonoscopy procedures were performed with high-definition colonoscopes (EVIS-EXERA 290 video system, Olympus Optical, Tokyo, Japan). The colonoscopy was first advanced to the cecum in all patients as confirmed by identification of the appendiceal orifice and ileocecal valve or by intubation of the ileum. After cecal intubation, the colonoscopy was slowly withdrawn to the rectum by the primary endoscopist. The AI real time detection was then activated with the output displayed in a different monitor and was only viewed by an independent investigator, who was an experienced endoscopist. The primary endoscopist was blinded to the AI real time detection result al.

The colon was divided into three segments during the examination: right side, transverse and left side colon, using hepatic flexure and splenic flexure as dividing landmark. All polyps were marked for size (measured with biopsy forceps), location and morphology according to the Paris classification, and then removed or biopsied for histological examination. After examination of each segment, segmental unblinding of the AI results were provided by the independent viewer. If additional polyps were detected by AI but not by the endoscopist, that segment were reexamined to look for the missed polyp. If no additional polyp was detected by the AI, the next colonic segment was examined. Missed lesions were defined as lesions identified by AI and then confirmed on reexamination by the endoscopist.

The first withdrawal time (minus the polypectomy site) was measured. The Boston Bowel Preparation Scale score (BPPS) was used for evaluation of bowel cleanliness.

What is being measured

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

  1. Adenoma miss rate

    The number of patient had at least one missed adenoma

    Measured: During the colonoscopy procedure

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Total number of adenoma missed

    The total number of missed polyps for all subjects

    Measured: During the colonoscopy procedure

  2. Colonic polyp miss rate

    The number of patient had at least one missed adenoma

    Measured: During the colonoscopy procedure

  3. Total number of missed polyps

    The total number of missed polyps for all subjects

    Measured: During the colonoscopy procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Artificial intelligence-Assisted real time colonoscopy in people with Colon Adenoma and Colonic Polyp, run by The University of Hong Kong at 1 site in Hong Kong.

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 2 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 4 Mar 2020. 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 Hong Kong. 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?

Adenoma miss rate (time frame: During the colonoscopy procedure). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04227795, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 4 Mar 2020.
