Trial summary

Otosclerosis is a relatively frequent pathology, of multifactorial origin with genetic and hormonal part, predominantly in women. This disease causes a disorder of the bone metabolism of the middle and inner ear, responsible for a progressive deafness, which can become severe. Read more about this study

Key requirements

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 18 to 110 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The study population will include cases from a group of patients who have undergone surgery for otosclerosis at the Lyon Sud hospital in France, and controls who have had a high resolution temporal bone CT scan at the Lyon Sud hospital with no clinical suspicion for otosclerosis and considered normal.

Who may be able to join

  • age over 18
  • high resolution temporal bone CT scan available for analysis
  • for the "case" group : surgical confirmation of positive diagnosis for otosclerosis
  • for the "control" group : a first radiological analysis in favor of a normal temporal bone CT scanner and an initial radiologic report considered normal as well

Who cannot join

  • age under 18
  • no high resolution temporal bone CT scan available for analysis
  • unwillingness to participate in the study

About this study

Otosclerosis is a relatively frequent pathology, of multifactorial origin with genetic and hormonal part, predominantly in women. This disease causes a disorder of the bone metabolism of the middle and inner ear, responsible for a progressive deafness, which can become severe.

Several elements are necessary to make the diagnosis of otosclerosis: the clinical examination and questioning, the audiometric assessment, and finally the temporal bone CT.

Read more

The CT scan allows to detect foci of otosclerosis within the bone of the middle or inner ear. This diagnosis is sometimes difficult and requires interpretation by a trained radiologist.

The investigators would like to evaluate the ability of a deep learning algorithm to detect these foci of otosclerosis, and to compare its diagnostic performance with a trained radiologist.

What participants receive

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

  • Radiologic diagnosisCombination product

    Each CT scan is interpreted by a radiologist and is assigned as positive or negative for the diagnosis of otosclerosis

  • Artificial intelligence diagnosisDiagnostic test

    Each CT scan is screened by the deep learning algorithm and is assigned as positive or negative for the diagnosis of otosclerosis

Study groups in NCT05987215
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
CASEPatients with surgically confirmed otosclerosis who initially consulted for conductive hearing loss with normal otoscopy, and with a high resolution computed tomography of temporal bone available
Receives: Combination Product: Radiologic diagnosis; Diagnostic Test: Artificial intelligence diagnosis
CONTROLRandom patients with a high resolution computed tomography scan of temporal bone performed without suspicion of otosclerosis and considered normal
Receives: Combination Product: Radiologic diagnosis; Diagnostic Test: Artificial intelligence diagnosis

What is being measured

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

  1. Diagnostic performance of the artificial intelligence algorithm compared to the diagnostic performance of the radiologist : sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value, area under the ROC curve

    These diagnostic performances will be established from the positive or negative diagnoses of the algorithm and the radiologist, compared to the "case" or "control" status of each patient included in the study

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 5 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Otosclerosis, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site in France.

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 4 inclusion and 3 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 14 Aug 2023. 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 France. 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?

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?

Diagnostic performance of the artificial intelligence algorithm compared to the diagnostic performance of the radiologist : sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value, area under the ROC curve (time frame: through study completion, an average of 5 months). 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 14 Aug 2023.
