About this study

Official title: Artificial Intelligence-assisted Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy Identification of Intestinal Metaplasia Severity for Gastric Cancer Risk Assessment

Currently, the Correa cascade is a widely accepted model of gastric carcinogenesis. Intestinal metaplasia is a high risk factor for gastric cancer. According to Sydney criteria, mild intestinal metaplasia was not associated with gastric cancer, while moderate to severe intestinal metaplasia was strongly associated with the development of gastric cancer. Because intestinal metaplasia is distributed in various forms, the use of white light endoscopy lacks specificity, and the consistency with histopathological diagnosis is poor; Pathological biopsy is still needed to make a diagnosis. At present, national guidelines suggest that OLGIM score should be used to evaluate the risk of gastric cancer, and patients with OLGIM grade III/IV should be monitored by close gastroscopy. However, it requires at least four biopsies, which is clinically infeasible. Confocal laser endomicroscopy allows real-time observation of living tissue, comparable to pathological findings.

Read the detailed description

Gastric cancer is a common malignant tumor in digestive system diseases. Currently, the Correa cascade is a widely accepted model of gastric carcinogenesis. Intestinal metaplasia is a high risk factor for gastric cancer and is considered a precancerous condition of intestinal type gastric cancer. According to Sydney criteria, mild intestinal metaplasia was not associated with gastric cancer, while moderate to severe intestinal metaplasia was strongly associated with the development of gastric cancer. Because intestinal metaplasia is distributed in various forms, the use of white light endoscopy lacks specificity, and the consistency with histopathological diagnosis is poor; Pathological biopsy is still needed to make a diagnosis. At present, our national guidelines suggest that OLGIM score should be used to evaluate the risk of gastric cancer, and patients with OLGIM grade III/IV should be monitored by close gastroscopy. However, it requires at least four biopsies, which is clinically infeasible. Confocal laser endomicroscopy allows real-time observation of living tissue, comparable to pathological findings. Therefore, we established artificial intelligence-assisted confocal laser endoscope technology to determine the high risk of gastric cancer in real time, instead of tissue biopsy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Accuracy of AI model in assessing degree of intestinal metaplasia

    Pathological biopsy results were used as the gold standard to assess the accuracy of the AI model in diagnosing the degree of intestinal metaplasia at the biopsy site

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Sensitivity of AI model to assess degree of intestinal metaplasia

    The sensitivity of the AI model to diagnose the degree of intestinal metaplasia at the biopsy site was assessed using pathological biopsy results as the gold standard

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Specificity of AI model to assess degree of intestinal metaplasia

    Pathological biopsy results were used as the gold standard to assess the specificity of the AI model in diagnosing the degree of intestinal metaplasia at the biopsy site

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Intestinal Metaplasia 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 1 inclusion and 4 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 18 Jul 2022. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Yanqing Li (053182169385, liyanqing@sdu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Accuracy of AI model in assessing degree of intestinal metaplasia (time frame: 2 years). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 18 Jul 2022.
