About this study

Official title: Application of Large Language Models in the Recommendation of Treatment Plans for Gastrointestinal Cancers

This study will evaluate the utility of ChatGPT in recommending treatment plans for patients with gastrointestinal cancers, using both retrospective and prospective data.

Read the detailed description

The medical records of over 1,200 patients with gastrointestinal cancers will be collected retrospectively from participating hospitals. This data will be split into an exploratory dataset (n=200) and a validation dataset (n>=1,000). Within the exploratory dataset, various prompt methods will be used to determine the treatment plans suggested by ChatGPT. Additionally, several clinicians of varied seniority levels will provide their treatment recommendations. For the validation dataset, ChatGPT's suggestions for treatment plans will undergo both qualitative and quantitative assessments by a multidisciplinary consultation (MDT) team. The recommendations from ChatGPT will then be compared with those from the clinicians.

Furthermore, this study will incorporate a prospective dataset comprising 400 participants with gastrointestinal cancers. The participants will be randomly allocated to either a control group (n=200) or a ChatGPT-Assisted group (n=200). In the control group, treatment plan recommendations will solely be provided by the clinicians and will guide subsequent treatments. In the ChatGPT-Assisted group, initial treatment plan recommendations will be independently proposed by both ChatGPT and the clinicians. Based on ChatGPT's suggestions, clinicians might selectively adjust their initial plans. Participants will then receive treatments as per these refined plans. Within the ChatGPT-Assisted group, the treatment plans of the initial 100 participants will be evaluated to determine the percentage of patients whose treatment plans are influenced by ChatGPT. Subsequently, the proportion of participants in the entire ChatGPT-Assisted group with treatment plans modified by ChatGPT will be calculated. The study will further monitor the 3-year progression-free survival (PFS) and the 5-year overall survival (OS) rates, contrasting the outcomes between the control and ChatGPT-assisted groups.

What participants receive

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

  • Clinician-Directed Treatment PlanOther

    In this approach, clinicians do not employ any technological assistance and rely solely on their professional expertise and experience to formulate treatment plans for participants.

  • ChatGPT-Assisted Treatment PlanOther

    In this approach, clinicians utilize the ChatGPT technological tool, formulating treatment plans for participants based on its suggestions and their own professional expertise.

What is being measured

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

  1. Influence Rate of ChatGPT on Treatment Plans

    The percentage of the initial 100 participants and the overall participants in the ChatGPT-Assisted group whose treatment plans are adjusted by clinicians after consulting with ChatGPT.

    Measured: Within 24 hours after the treatment plan is determined from the onset of study participation.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. 3-year Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Rate

    Percentage of participants without disease progression over a period of 3 years from the start of treatment.

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Clinician-Directed Treatment Plan and ChatGPT-Assisted Treatment Plan in people with Gastrointestinal Neoplasm Malignant, run by Chinese Academy of Sciences at 7 sites in 4 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 4 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Sep 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in China, United States, Germany, Italy. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Di Dong, PhD (+86 13811833760, di.dong@ia.ac.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Influence Rate of ChatGPT on Treatment Plans (time frame: Within 24 hours after the treatment plan is determined from the onset of study participation.). 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 8 Sep 2023.
