Trial summary

To improve accuracy and take out human error, Hippo Dx previously developed S.P.A.T., an automated skin prick test. Now, Hippo Dx will develop and evaluate a S.P.A.T. artificial intelligence (AI) medical software to support physicians in the read out of the test results from an automated skin prick test.

About this study

Official title: Development and Evaluation of an Artificial Intelligence Model to Support Read Out of Skin Prick Automated Test Results for the Diagnosis of Aeroallergies

To improve accuracy and take out human error, Hippo Dx previously developed S.P.A.T., an automated skin prick test. Now, Hippo Dx will develop and evaluate a S.P.A.T. artificial intelligence (AI) medical software to support physicians in the read out of the test results from an automated skin prick test.

In this study 700 images will be collected to develop the AI model, an additional 200 images will be collected to evaluate performance of the AI model. In a last independent cohort of 100 patients, performance of read-out by the physician will be compared with read out by the physician supported by the S.P.A.T. AI medical software.

The primary endpoint is the accuracy of the maximal wheal size measurement by S.P.A.T. AI versus the maximal wheal size measurement by the physician.

It is a prospective multicentric study that will include 1000 study participants from different countries.

What is being measured

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

  1. Equivalency of S.P.A.T. artificial intelligence versus physician

    The equivalency of the maximal wheal diameter as measured by S.P.A.T. AI versus the maximal wheal diameter as assessed by the physician.

    Measured: 15 minutes after the diagnostic test

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Precision of S.P.A.T. artificial intelligence versus physician

    Likelihood that the S.P.A.T. AI maximal wheal diameter measurement lays within the range of the maximal wheal size measurement of 3 independent physicians.

    Measured: 15 minutes after the diagnostic test

  2. Intra-reader variability of S.P.A.T. read out by physicians

    Variation in maximal wheal size diameter of the same image by 3 independent physicians.

    Measured: 15 minutes after the diagnostic test

  3. Comparison of different methods (maximal wheal diameter) of read out by S.P.A.T. artificial intelligence versus physician

    Accuracy of the maximal wheal diameter by S.P.A.T. AI versus the maximal wheal diameter measurement by the physician.

    Measured: 15 minutes after the diagnostic test

  4. Comparison of S.P.A.T. artificial intelligence supporting the physician versus physician

    Inter-reader variability of read out of S.P.A.T. results by the physician supported by the S.P.A.T. AI software versus the physician alone.

    Measured: 15 minutes after the diagnostic test

  5. Time impact of S.P.A.T. artificial intelligence supporting the physician versus physician

    Total time required to perform read out of S.P.A.T. results by the physician supported by the S.P.A.T. AI software versus the physician alone.

    Measured: 15 minutes after the diagnostic test

  6. Comparison of different methods (mean - maximal wheal diameter) of read out by S.P.A.T. artificial intelligence versus physician

    Accuracy of mean wheal diameter by S.P.A.T. AI versus the maximal wheal diameter measurement by the physician.

    Measured: 15 minutes after the diagnostic test

  7. Comparison of different methods (wheal area - maximal wheal diameter) of read out by S.P.A.T. artificial intelligence versus physician

    Accuracy of wheal area by S.P.A.T. AI versus the maximal wheal diameter measurement by the physician.

    Measured: 15 minutes after the diagnostic test

  8. Comparison of different methods (HEP index - maximal wheal diameter) of read out by S.P.A.T. artificial intelligence versus physician

    Accuracy of HEP-index measurement by S.P.A.T. AI versus the maximal wheal diameter measurement by the physician.

    Measured: 15 minutes after the diagnostic test

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Allergy, run by Hippocreates at 6 sites in 2 countries.

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 9 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 16 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Belgium, 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. 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?

Equivalency of S.P.A.T. artificial intelligence versus physician (time frame: 15 minutes after the diagnostic test). 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 16 Oct 2024.
