About this study

Patients participating to this study will provide images and videos of capsule endoscopy to train, tune and evaluate technological bricks of artificial intelligence solutions, in order to improve diagnostic performances of the procedure, while reducing reading time by physicians.

Read the detailed description

Capsule endoscopy is a minimally-invasive diagnostic procedure based on the ingestion (or endoscopic delivery) of a miniaturized biocompatible, camera. Capsules capture tenths of thousands images of the digestive tract. Reading the captured images and reporting is long, tedious, and at risk of errors when the reader's attention is disturbed. Artificial intelligence is expected to alleviate these limitations, by both improving diagnostic performances of capsule endoscopy while reducing reading time.

Any patient in whom a capsule endoscopy examination is performed as part of routine care will be invited to participate to the study. Their de-identified images and videos will be extracted, thus allowing the creation of several databases for training, tuning and testing technological bricks of artificial intelligence. Basic clinical data will be collected (age, gender, indication for capsule endoscopy, type of device, ingestion or delivery of capsule). Images and videos will be characterized centrally and consensually by a panel of 3 expert readers, according to their level of relevance in relation to the type and indication of capsule endoscopy.

The various, developed technological bricks will aim to automatically detect and characterize anatomical landmarks and abnormal findings, and to quote the intestine cleanliness.

Assessment of diagnostic performance and reading time will be performed within a few months or up to five years, for each technological brick, individually and then combined, according to their stepwise development.

What is being measured

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

  1. Develop an artificial intelligence solution to help with diagnosis in VCE

    Sensitivity in detection of lesions of intermediate to high relevance as identified centrally and consensually by a panel of 3 expert readers (AI vs standard reading)

    Measured: Through study completion, 5 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Evaluation of the diagnostic performance of the A.I. solution in terms of detection

    Other diagnostic performance (specificity, positive and negative predictive values, accuracy) in detection of lesions of intermediate to high relevance as identified centrally and consensually by a panel of 3 expert readers (AI vs standard reading)

    Measured: Through study completion, 5 years

  2. Evaluation of the diagnostic performance of the A.I. solution in terms of characterisation

    Time needed for detection of lesions of intermediate to high relevance as identified centrally and consensually by a panel of 3 expert readers (AI vs standard reading)

    Measured: Through study completion, 5 years

  3. Evaluation of the diagnostic performance of the A.I. solution in terms of recognition of anatomical landmarks

    Diagnostic performances in positioning anatomical landmarks (1st gastric, small bowl and colonic images) as identified centrally and consensually by a panel of 3 expert readers (AI vs standard reading)

    Measured: Through study completion, 5 years

  4. Evaluation of the diagnostic performance of the A.I. solution in terms of quality of preparation of the various segments of the digestive tract

    Diagnostic performances in quoting small bowel and colonic quality of preparation, as compared toed centrally and consensually quoted by a panel of 3 expert readers

    Measured: Through study completion, 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bowel Disease and Crohn Disease, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 2 Mar 2026. 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?

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 Xavier DRAY, MD PhD (+33 (0) 49 28 21 60, Xavier.dray@aphp.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Develop an artificial intelligence solution to help with diagnosis in VCE (time frame: Through study completion, 5 years). 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 2 Mar 2026.
