Trial summary

The endoscopist performances in the optical diagnosis (OD) of colonic polyps with the available technologies vary widely across centers and across endoscopists. The OD process is strictly related to the operator training and expertise. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Accuracy and Feasibility of CADx System for White Light Colonic Polyp Characterization

The endoscopist performances in the optical diagnosis (OD) of colonic polyps with the available technologies vary widely across centers and across endoscopists. The OD process is strictly related to the operator training and expertise. Most of the available studies in optical characterization have been carried out by expert endoscopist in tertiary high volume centers, and weren't replied on large unselected populations. For these reasons, at the moment the optical characterization of polypoid lesions can't replace, in the everyday clinical practice, the histopathological evaluation of resected polyps. Artificial intelligence (AI)-based systems have the potential to make optical characterization process of colonic polyps easier and more reliable, thus supporting the endoscopist in the application of leave-in-situ and of resect-and-discard strategies. The implementation of such strategies would lead to a significant economic saving and a decrease of risks and complications related to unnecessary polypectomy. GI-Genius System (Medtronic Inc, Minneaopolis, USA) is a CNN-based algorithm allowing an automatic OD of colonic polyps. This system does not require dedicated light setting for polyp evaluation as it works with white light high definition images, which are the actual standard in every endoscopic unit. During colonoscopy, when a polyp is framed within the screen, a green detection box surrounds the polyp and the system automatically provides (whenever possible) the optical diagnosis labeling the polyp as "adenoma or non-adenoma". When the automatic polyp charaterization is unfeasible the label "no prediction" appears. Nowadays only few data about the feasibility and performances of this system in clinical practice are available. In addition published studies are mostly focused on technical rather thann clinical issues. The present prospective observational trial is primarily aimed at evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of optical characterization of colonic polyps <= 1 cm using GI-Genius System in daily clinical practice, having histopathology examination as reference standard.

What is being measured

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

  1. Diagnostic accuracy of CADx in evaluating small colonic polyps

    Numer of correctly characterized polyps using AI/total number of detected polyps

    Measured: Entire study duration (3 months)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Feasibility of CADx in evaluating small colonic polyps

    Number of characterizable polyps using AI/total number of detected polyps

    Measured: Entire study duration (3 months)

  2. Sensitivity

    CADx sensitivity (rate of TP/TP+FN) will be calculated having histopathology as reference standard and according to polyp size and location

    Measured: Entire study duration (3 months)

  3. specificity

    CADx specificity (rate of TN/TN+FP) will be calculated having histopathology as reference standard according to polyp size and location

    Measured: Entire study duration (3 months)

  4. Positive predictive value

    CADx positive predictive value (rate of TP/TP+FP) will be calculated having histopathology as reference standard according to polyp size and location

    Measured: Entire study duration (3 months)

  5. Negative predictive value

    CADX negative predictive value (rate of TN/TN+FN) will be calculated having histopathology as reference standard according to polyp size and location

    Measured: Entire study duration (3 months)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colonic Polyp and Adenoma Colon, run by Valduce Hospital at 1 site in Italy.

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 6 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 26 Mar 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 Italy. 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?

Diagnostic accuracy of CADx in evaluating small colonic polyps (time frame: Entire study duration (3 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 26 Mar 2024.
