About this study

Official title: Utilization of Artificial Intelligence for the Development of an EUS-convolution Neural Network Model Trained to Differentiate Pancreatic Cancer From Other Pancreatic Solid Lesions

We aim to develop an EUS-AI model which can facilitate clinical diagnosis by analyzing EUS pictures and clinical parameters of patients.

Read the detailed description

EUS is considered to be a more sensitive modality than CT in detecting pancreatic solid lesions due to its high spatial resolution. However, the diagnostic performance is largely dependent on the experience and the technical abilities of the practitioners. Therefore, we aim to develop an objective EUS diagnostic model based on the convolutional neural network, an artificial intelligence technique. In addition, clinical parameters such as risk factors, tumor biomarkers and radiology findings are also added to this artificial intelligence model in order to mimic the actual clinical diagnosis procedures and to increase the performance of this model.

What participants receive

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

  • EUS-AI modelDiagnostic test

    The test subset (approximately 20% of total patients) is reserved for the final evaluation of the EUS-AI model. Clinical parameters and EUS pictures of each patient in the test subset will be inputed into the trained EUS-AI model, and the most possible diagnosis will be given by the model.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Pancreas-EUSPatients since 2014 with EUS pictures of normal pancreas or pancreatic solid lesions have been included in this cohort.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: EUS-AI model

What is being measured

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

  1. The model's ability to differentiate pancreatic cancer from other pancreatic solid lesion

    Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses, sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value will be used to evaluate the efficacy of the model.

    Measured: After the training process of the EUS-AI model is completed

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The model's ability to specify the pancreatic solid lesions such as pancreatic cancer, CP, AIP and NET

    Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses, sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value will be used to evaluate the efficacy of the model.

    Measured: After the training process of the EUS-AI model is completed

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma and Pancreatitis, Chronic, run by Huazhong University of Science and Technology 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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 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 model's ability to differentiate pancreatic cancer from other pancreatic solid lesion (time frame: After the training process of the EUS-AI model is completed). 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 NCT05476978, 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 3 Apr 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 27 Oct 2026.
