Trial summary

Rare diseases generally refer to diseases whose prevalence rate is lower than 1 / 10 000 and the number of patients is less than 140000. Rare diseases are generally faced with the dilemma of a lack of qualified doctors, difficulty in large-scale screening, and a lack of rapid and effective channels for medical… Read more about this study

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Through the offline specialist clinics, online popular science, news reports, and other channels, we will promote and inform the crowd about the relevant knowledge of pigmented tumors on the ocular surface, so that they can judge by themselves that they are eligible to join the group, and freely decide whether to participate in this study or not.

Who may be able to join

  • Dark-brown lesions on the ocular surface are found: i.e. ocular surface malignant melanoma, ocular basal cell carcinoma, conjunctival nevus, eyelid nevus, sclera pigmentation, benign eyelid keratosis

Who cannot join

  • Non-pigmented ocular surface tumors: pterygium, corneal dermoid tumor, meibomian gland cyst, cataract, blepharitis, etc.
  • The image quality does not meet the clinical requirements.

About this study

Rare diseases generally refer to diseases whose prevalence rate is lower than 1 / 10 000 and the number of patients is less than 140000. Rare diseases are generally faced with the dilemma of a lack of qualified doctors, difficulty in large-scale screening, and a lack of rapid and effective channels for medical treatment. Studies have shown that 42% of patients say they have been misdiagnosed, and each patient with a rare disease needs to go through an average of eight doctors in seven years to see a corresponding rare disease specialist. More importantly, most rare diseases seriously affect the health and quality of life of patients. The ocular surface malignant tumor is a typical rare disease, and its incidence is less than 1 / 100000. The ocular surface not only affects the patient's appearance, but also damages the visual function, and the malignant tumor may even affect life. These uncommon malignant tumors are often hidden in the common black nevus on the eye surface, which is easy to be ignored and has great potential risks. With the improvement of people's living standards, people start to pay attention to rare diseases.

In recent years, the rapid development of digital technology has also provided new opportunities for the prevention and treatment of rare diseases. Our team established the database of rare ophthalmopathy in China in the early stage, which provided a solid foundation for the digitization of precious clinical data. This study intends to develop an intelligent screening system for ocular surface malignant tumors, using the mobile phone for real-world verification and scale screening, and explore it to improve the ability of doctors to diagnose and treat rare diseases. This study is expected to improve the ability to screen malignant tumors on the ocular surface and provide a novel model for the universal screening of rare diseases.

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

  • screening system for ocular surface malignant tumorsDiagnostic test

    Develop an intelligent screening system for ocular surface malignant tumors, apply it to the mobile terminal for real-world verification and large-scale general screening, and test its effect on assisting doctors in the diagnosis and treatment of rare diseases.

What is being measured

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

  1. Area under the curve (AUC)

    Measure of the ability of a binary classifier to distinguish between malignent and benign.

    Measured: 2024.1

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Sensitivity, specificity and accuracy

    The study will assess the sensitivity and specificity of the CaptureTumor (CaT) system under various conditions.

    Measured: 2024.1

  2. Screening coverage

    Count the number of people who have successfully received and read knowledge about ocular surface pigmented tumors on each offline and online platform.

    Measured: 2024.1

  3. Referral efficiency

    For cases where the system judges that it is necessary to go to the hospital for further diagnosis and treatment, two or more researchers will conduct a diagnostic review first. If further diagnosis and treatment is really needed, the subject will be contacted and told to go to the hospital for treatment by phone, text message, etc., and continue to follow up. Finally, the duration of diagnosis (screening time to pathological diagnosis time), visit distance, number of visits before diagnosis, and the proportion of referred patients in all subjects were counted.

    Measured: 2024.1

  4. Human-machine collaboration performance

    Doctors with different seniority were asked to diagnose the test set with and without assistance from the intelligent screening system, and the accuracy in the two cases were calculated and compared.

    Measured: 2024.1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Orbital Neoplasms and Conjunctival Neoplasms, run by Sun Yat-sen 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 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 5 Aug 2024. 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?

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?

Area under the curve (AUC) (time frame: 2024.1). 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 NCT05645341, 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 5 Aug 2024.
