About this study
Official title: Real-time Computer-aided Polyp/Adenoma Detection During Screening Colonoscopy: a Single-center Crossover Trial
Nowadays, colonoscopy is considered the gold standard for the detection of lesions in the colorectal mucosa. However, around 25% of polyps may be missed during the conventional colonoscopy. Based on this, new technological tools aimed to improve the quality of the procedures, diminishing the technical and operator-related factors associated with the missed lesions. These tools use artificial intelligence (AI), a computer system able to perform human tasks after a previous training process from a large dataset. The DiscoveryTM AI-assisted polyp detector (Pentax Medical, Hoya Group, Tokyo, Japan) is a newly developed detection system based on AI. It was designed to alert and direct the attention to potential mucosal lesions. According to its remarkable features, it may increase the polyp and adenoma detection rates (PDR and ADR, respectively) and decrease the adenoma miss rate (AMR).
Based on the above, the investigators aim to assess the real-world effectiveness of the DiscoveryTM AI-assisted polyp detector system in clinical practice and compare the results between expert (seniors) and non-expert (juniors) endoscopists.
Read the detailed description
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is worldwide the second and third cancer-related cause of death in men and women, respectively. For the detection of lesions in the mucosa (premalignant and malignant), colonoscopy has been considered the gold standard. However, up to 25% of lesions can be missed during conventional colonoscopy. Some technical (i.e., bowel preparation) and operator-related (i.e., expertise, and fatigue) factors are related to these missing lesions.
During the rapid-growing technological era, new tools were launched to improve the quality and performance of colonoscopies. Through the assistance of artificial intelligence (AI) an identification of a pattern can be achieved after a previous training from a large dataset of images. The DiscoveryTM AI-assisted polyp detector (Pentax Medical, Hoya Group, Tokyo, Japan), is a computer-assisted polyp/adenoma detection system based on AI. It detects classic adenomas and flat lesions, distinguished features like mucus cap or rim of debris with the advantage of a real-time and simultaneous multiple polyp detection. It was developed to minimize the missed lesions increasing as a result the polyp detection rate (PDR) and the adenoma detection rate (ADR).
Lately, published data evaluating the AI-assisted polyp detectors has demonstrate high sensitivity, specificity, and interobserver agreement. Due to the importance of CRC diagnosis and prompt treatment, and taking advantage of the newly introduced DiscoveryTM AI system, the investigators aim to assess the real-world effectiveness of this AI-assisted polyp detector system in clinical practice and compare the results between expert (seniors) and non-expert (juniors) endoscopists.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
HD- colonoscopyDiagnostic test
HD-colonoscopy performed by an expert or non-expert endoscopist. All lesions will be recorded, assessed, and removed for histological analysis.
HD-colonoscopy assisted by AIDiagnostic test
HD-colonoscopy with AI-assisted polyp detector. New polyps detected by AI will be recorded, removed, and studied.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| HD-colonoscopy + AI-HD colonoscopy | Experimental | This group is comprised by patients >45 years of age submitted for diagnostic colonoscopy. In the same session a HD-colonoscopy will be performed followed by an HD-colonoscopy with artificial intelligence assistance. The second procedure will be performed by an operator with the same-level-of -expertise in comparison to the initial procedure (expert or non-expert) and blinded to the results of the previous intervention. Receives: Diagnostic Test: HD- colonoscopy; Diagnostic Test: HD-colonoscopy assisted by AI |
| AI-HD colonoscopy + HD-colonoscopy | Experimental | This group is comprised by patients >45 years of age submitted for diagnostic colonoscopy. In the same session a HD-colonoscopy assisted by artificial intelligence will be performed followed by an HD-colonoscopy alone.The second procedure will be performed by an operator with the same-level-of -expertise in comparison to the initial procedure (expert or non-expert) and blinded to the results of the previous intervention.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Adenoma detection rate (ADR)
The ADR will be determined by every new colonoscopy (second intervention) with at least one adenoma, histologically proven/NBI NICE classification.
Results will be compared between experts and non-experts endoscopists.
Measured: up to one month
Polyp detection rate (PDR)
The PDR will be determined by every new colonoscopy (second intervention) with at least one polyp.
Results will be compared between experts and non-experts endoscopists.
Measured: up to two hours
Diagnostic performance of AI-assisted polyp detector
The diagnostic performance of the AI-assisted system will be assessed by sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values (PPV and NPV) and observer agreement.
Measured: up to three years
Secondary outcomes (1)
Adenoma Miss Rate (AMR)
The AMR will be determined by the total number of missed adenomas on initial examination. The diagnosis of adenoma will be made by NBI NICE classification or biopsy.
Measured: Up to one month

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing HD- colonoscopy and HD-colonoscopy assisted by AI in people with Colorectal Polyp and Colorectal Cancer, run by Instituto Ecuatoriano de Enfermedades Digestivas at 1 site in Ecuador.
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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Sep 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 Ecuador. 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?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Carlos Robles-Medranda, MD FASGE (+59342109180, carlosoakm@yahoo.es), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Adenoma detection rate (ADR) (time frame: up to one month). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT05734820, which also lists 5 linked publications.
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 28 Sep 2023.
