About this study

Official title: Prospective Randomized Study on the Use of Artificial Intelligence (Fujifilm) for Polyp Detection in Colonoscopy

Colonoscopy is currently the best method of detection of intestinal tumors and polyps, particularly because polyps can also be biopsied and removed. There is a clear correlation between the adenoma detection rate and prevented carcinomas, so adenoma detection rate is the main parameter for the outcome quality of diagnostic colonoscopy. The efficiency of preventive colonoscopy needs optimisation by increase in adenoma detection rate, as it is known from many studies that approximately 15-30% of all adenomas can be overlooked. This mainly applies to smaller and flat adenomas. However, since even smaller polyps may be relevant for colorectal cancer development, the aim of colonoscopy should be to preferably be able to recognize all polyps and other changes.The latest and by far the most interesting development in this field is the use of artificial intelligence systems. They consist of a switched-on software with a small computer connected to the endoscope processor; the patient's introduced endoscope is completely unchanged.

The present study therefore compares the adenoma detection rate (ADR) of the latest generation of devices with high-resolution imaging from Fujifilm with and without the connection of artificial intelligence.

Read the detailed description

Methods of Computer Vision (CV) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) provide completely new opportunities, e.g. in the automatic polyp detection and differentiation of a lesion based on its endoscopic image. Computer vision using artificial intelligence methods means the application of "trained" so-called deep neural net (DNN) with a set of defined images (e.g. everyday scenes) and well-known solutions ( e.g. name of the pictured item; c.f. e.g. the "ImageNet Challenge"). The technical feasibility of using AI algorithms in endoscopy has already been proven in many cases. In the present study, it is an AI system from Fujifilm, which is already clinically usable. By using Fujifilm high-resolution imaging devices in colonoscopies, AI will be added randomly.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing colonoscopy in people with Screening Colonoscopy and Colonoscopic Control After Polypectomy, run by Universitätsklinikum Hamburg-Eppendorf at 10 sites in Germany.

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 10 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 28 Jun 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in Germany. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 Thomas Rösch, Prof. Dr. (+49 40 7410 ext. 50098, t.roesch@uke.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Adenoma detection rate (time frame: during procedure to histological examination result, approximately 2 days). 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 NCT04894708, which also lists 20 linked publications.

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 28 Jun 2023.
