About this study

Official title: Artificial Intelligence-based Activity Recognition and Mortality Prediction Using Circadian Rhythm, Among Cancer Patients in the Hospice Ward

The purpose of this study is to develop a novel deep-learning-based survival prediction model employing patient activity data recorded by a wearable device.

Read the detailed description

This study aims to develop a deep-learning-based survival prediction model that utilizes patient movement data upon admission to predict their clinical outcomes: either death or discharge with stable condition. Objective data of the patients are recorded by a wearable device and documented as parameters of physical activity, angle, and spin. In addition to objective data, the investigators also document patients' Karnofsky Performance Status assessed subjectively by clinical doctors. Finally, the investigators aim to explore and describe the applicability, potential, and limitations of the survival prediction model based on patient movement data as a simple prognostic parameter in clinical settings.

What is being measured

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

  1. Specificity and Sensitivity of using Artificial Intelligence based models for prediction of Clinical Outcomes of End-stage Cancer Patients using actigraphy data

    The primary outcome of the study will be to evaluate whether the analysis of the movement data captured using actigraphy device can help to predict clinical outcomes either deceased or discharged alive from hospital, with a high specificity and sensitivity, using Artificial Intelligence based prediction modelling.

    Measured: From date of admission to hospice ward until the date of first documented discharge from hospital or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of End Stage Cancer, run by Taipei Medical University at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 May 2021. 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 Taiwan. 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 Shabbir Syed-Abdul, PhD (886 2-6638-2736 ext. 1514, drshabbir@tmu.edu.tw), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Specificity and Sensitivity of using Artificial Intelligence based models for prediction of Clinical Outcomes of End-stage Cancer Patients using actigraphy data (time frame: From date of admission to hospice ward until the date of first documented discharge from hospital or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 1 month). 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 NCT04883879, 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 12 May 2021.
