About this study

Official title: Using CNN Image Recognition to Predict Rectal Cancer Outcomes

Investigator retrospective collect cases during 2010-2021 diagnosed as rectal adenocarcinoma with high quality CT images. Local advanced rectal cancer cases were labeled as "disease". Nor were defined " normal".

Using artificial intelligence CNN on jupyter notebook with open phyton code to train and develop models capable to recognizing local advanced rectal cancer. Modify the phyton code for better predict rate and help physician to quickly evaluate disease severity for fresh rectal cancer cases.

Read the detailed description

From 2010.10.1~2021.12.31, rectal cancer patients with cT3-4 lesion was included. Collect high quality CT images with DICOM files in tumor segment. cT1-2, low rectal lesions, non-CRC cases were not included. Non-contrast and artificial defect images were also excluded. CT images were labeled as" diseased " when CRM were threatened (<2mm). All images were labeled according to judgment of 2 specialist. The data were separated into 2 parts. One for AI model training and testing, another for external validation. The training testing dataset was achieved by deep learning neural network and evaluating model accuracy performance. Then the model was applied into external validation dataset for real-world testing, evaluating coherent rate between AI and the Dr. decision. Furthermore, to see the cancer survival outcomes according to AI model prediction results.

Being tested
As training material for deep learning model., As materials for external validation for the buildup model.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Rectal Cancer Stage III, run by Taichung Veterans General Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 4 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 13 Feb 2023. 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 Taiwan. 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 artificial intelligence with experienced physician (time frame: 1 week after images done.). 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 13 Feb 2023.
