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 49 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Study population: The study population we extracted in this study were from department of Gastroenterology, department of Oncology, etc. More specifically, there were two major sources for the study participants: some individuals included in our study had relevant symptoms (such as chronic abdominal pain, altered bowel habit, unexplained weight loss, hematochezia), and they received colonoscopy examination under the advice of the doctor, while some individuals come to the hospital just for a comprehensive physical examination (the physical examination items include colonoscopy).

Who may be able to join

  • Newly diagnosed with CRC (YOCRC group)
  • Age at 18-49 when diagnosis (YOCRC group)
  • Never received any CRC-related treatment (YOCRC group)
  • No CRC confirmed by colonoscopy or pathology (non-YOCRC group)
  • Age at 18-49 (non-YOCRC group)

Who cannot join

  • Hospital stay less than 24 hours or with incomplete Complete Blood Count
  • Patients with inflammatory bowel disease or hereditary CRC syndromes
  • History of other types of primary malignant tumor and other reasons that made them unsuitable for enrollment

About this study

Official title: Application of Artificial Intelligence for Young-onset Colorectal Cancer Screening Based on Electronic Medical Records

In this study, we aimed to develop, internally and temporally validate the machine learning models to help screen YOCRC bansed on the retrospective extracted Electronic Medical Records (EMR) data.

Read the detailed description

Diagnosis of young-onset colorectal cancer (YOCRC) has become more common in recent decades. Screening CRC among younger adults still remains a challenge. In this study, We plan to retrospectively extracte the relevant clinical data of young individuals who underwent colonoscopy from 2013 to 2022 using Electronic Medical Record (EMR). Multiple supervised machine learning techniques will be applied to distinguish YOCRC and non-YOCRC individuals, the above classifiers will be trained and internally validated in the training dataset and internal validation dataset admitted between 2013 and 2021, respectively. We will also assess the temporal external validity of the classifiers based on the admissions from 2022.

Being tested
Using routine clinical data and machine learning models.

What is being measured

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

  1. The performance of machine learning screening models

    The performance of young-onset colorectal cancer screening models will be assessed by calculating the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC), Accuracy, Recall, Specificity, Negative predictive value (NPV), Positive predictive value (PPV, or called Precision).

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colorectal Cancer, run by Renmin Hospital of Wuhan 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 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Apr 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?

The performance of machine learning screening models (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year). 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 NCT06342622, 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 2 Apr 2024.
