About this study

The purpose of this study is to develop and validate the accuracy and reliability of an artificial intelligence(AI) system for bowel preparation quality scoring based of Boston Bowel preparation Scoring(BBPS). Then evaluate whether this AI system can help endoscopists to improve the quality of colonoscopy in clinical practice.

Read the detailed description

Bowel preparation is one of the most important factors which decide the quality of colonoscopy. Adequate bowel preparation is essential to guarantee a clear vision of colonic mucosa, complete inspection of entire colon and improves the adenoma detection rates(ADRs). Therefore, the quality of bowel preparation should be evaluated accurately and objectively. However, current bowel preparation quality scales depend on memories and subjective decision of endoscopists. Recently, articifial intelligence system based on deep learning algorithm has been used widely in medical fields. But, few studies have been reported to evaluate the performance of AI system based on deep learning in bowel preparation quality scoring. This study aims to develop and train an AI system to assess bowel preparation quality using the BBPS, and validate the AI system to improve the quality of colonoscopy.

What participants receive

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

  • AIDevice

    After taking standard bowel preparation regimen, patients receive colonoscopy under the AI system device. During the withdrawal phase, bowel preparation quality is assessed by AI-associated scoring system. The withdrawal time is targeted at least 6min. Every detected polyp will be removed and obtained for pathological assessment.

What is being measured

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

  1. accuracy of bowel preparation score

    Bowel preparation quality was measured by BBPS. After fully washing or suctioning of colonic contents, three segments including right colon (containing cecum and ascending colon), transvers colon (containing hepatic and splenic flexures) and left colon (containing descending and sigmoid colon) were individually scored from 0 to 3. Point 0 refers to unprepared colon segment with obscured solid stool making mucosa cannot be seen; Point 1 refers to part of mucosa can be seen, but some areas are covered by staining, residual stool, and/or opaque liquid; Point 2 refers to entire mucosa is well-seen; Point 3 refers to clean colon segment without staining, fecal materials or liquids. A sub-score of each colon segment was used, ranging from minimum 0 to maximum 3. The highest score means the excellent bowel preparation. Adequate bowel preparation was defined as a total BBPS≥6 and sub-BBPS≥2 per segment.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing AI in people with Colonic Disease, run by National Cancer Center, Korea at 1 site in South Korea.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Mar 2021. 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 South Korea. 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?

accuracy of bowel preparation score (time frame: 6 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 3 Mar 2021.
