About this study

Official title: Artificial Intelligence-assisted Colonoscopy Versus Conventional Colonoscopy for Missed Lesions in the Proximal Colon: A Prospective Multi-center Randomized Study in Asia

This is a prospective multi-center randomized study is to determine whether the use of artificial intelligence (AI)-assistance could reduce the miss rates of polyps and adenomas in the proximal colon during tandem examination

Study population

Inclusion:

All adult patients, aged 40 or above, undergoing outpatient colonoscopy in the participating centers will be recruited.

Exclusion:

  • history of inflammatory bowel disease
  • history of colorectal cancer
  • previous bowel resection (apart from appendectomy)
  • Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, familial adenomatous polyposis or other polyposis syndromes
  • bleeding tendency or severe comorbid illnesses for which polypectomy is considered unsafe.

Post-randomization exclusion:

  • Cecum could not be intubated for various reasons
  • Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS) score of the proximal colon is <2

Study design This is a prospective randomized trial comparing the miss rates of proximal colonic lesions by AI assisted colonoscopy or conventional colonoscopy (Fig. 1). The study will be conducted in the Endoscopy Centre of the participating hospitals.

Randomization Eligible patients in each center will be randomly allocated in a 1:1 ratio to undergo tandem colonoscopy of the proximal colon first with AI-assistance and follow by conventional white light colonoscopy (Group 1) or conventional white light colonoscopy without AI assistance follow by conventional colonoscopy (Group 2). Proximal colon refers to colonic segment proximal to the splenic flexure. Randomization will be conducted in blocks of 4 by computer generated random sequences and stratified according to indications of colonoscopy (symptomatic vs screening/surveillance). Patients will be blinded to the group assignment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Proximal adenoma missed rate

    The proportion of patients with missed adenomas detected in the second examination only

    Measured: One day

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Proximal polyp missed rate

    The proportion of patients with missed adenomas detected in the second examination only

    Measured: One day

  2. Proximal adenoma detection rate

    The proportion of patients with at least one adenoma

    Measured: One day

  3. Proximal polyp detection

    The proportion of patients with at least one polyp

    Measured: One day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Artificial intelligence-Assisted colonoscopy and Conventional colonoscopy in people with Colon Adenoma and Colon Polyp, run by The University of Hong Kong at 3 sites in 3 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 5 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 21 Apr 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in China, Singapore, Vietnam. 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?

Proximal adenoma missed rate (time frame: One day). 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 NCT04294355, 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 21 Apr 2022.
