About this study

Official title: Saving by Artificial Intelligence for Virtual Endoscopy Biopsy Artificial Intelligence to Implement Cost-saving Strategies for Colonoscopy Screening Based on in Vivo Prediction of Polyp Histology

This three parallel-arms, randomized, multicenter trial is aimed at investigating the value of AI-assisted optical biopsy for differentiating between neoplastic and non-neoplastic polyps which will lead to the implementation of cost-saving strategies in screening programs. A cost-effectiveness analyses with the use of modern trial emulation analyses of large observational and clinical trial datasets and real-cost data will be conducted. To improve personalized treatment with a novel colonoscopy CADx risk-prediction tool, the investigators will even develop a novel deep learning algorithm for the optical biopsy of the alternative pathway of colorectal cancer carcinogenesis, namely the serrated pathway and develop cost-effectiveness models of AI-assisted optical biopsy in colorectal cancer screening that provides reliable information to identify cancer risk regardless of physicians' skill.

What participants receive

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

  • Standard, high-definition colonoscopy with the use of CADe assistanceDevice

    All detected polyps regardless of size and optical diagnosis will be resected and sent to pathology.

  • Standard, high-definition colonoscopy with the use of CADe/CADx assistance, no leave-in-situDevice

    All detected polyps regardless of size and optical diagnosis will be resected and sent to pathology.

  • Standard, high-definition colonoscopy with the use of CADe/CADx assistance, leave-in-situDevice

    Polyps will be left in situ if diminutive (≤5 mm) in size, located in the rectum or sigma and optically diagnosed by the endoscopist using the system to be hyperplastic with high confidence, otherwise resected and sent to pathology.

What is being measured

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

  1. Non-inferiority in Adenoma Detection Rate

    Non-inferiority in the Adenoma Detection Rate, defined as the proportion of participants with at least one adenoma (per-patient analysis) in the three arms, when adopting a cost-saving leave-in-situ strategy for non-neoplastic rectosigmoid diminutive polyps.

    Measured: 4 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Negative Predictive Value for colorectal neoplasia

    Negative Predictive Value for colorectal neoplasia when adopting a leave-in-situ strategy for rectosigmoid diminutive polyps based on the use of Artificial Intelligence.

    Measured: 4 years

  2. Concordance between post-polypectomy surveillance and when adopting a leave-in-situ strategy

    Concordance between post-polypectomy surveillance based on strategies based on optical diagnosis with Artificial Intelligence and those based on histology, and when adopting a leave-in-situ strategy for colorectal diminutive polyps based on the use of Artificial Intelligence

    Measured: 4 years

  3. Change in the cost of polypectomy and histology in screening programs

    Change in the cost of polypectomy and histology in screening programs, when implementing strategies based on Artificial Intelligence-based optical biopsy, without changes in benefit related with detection of colorectal neoplasia

    Measured: 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Standard, high-definition colonoscopy with the use of CADe assistance, Standard, high-definition colonoscopy with the use of CADe/CADx assistance, no leave-in-situ and Standard, high-definition colonoscopy with the use of CADe/CADx assistance, leave-in-situ in people with Colonic Neoplasms, run by Istituto Clinico Humanitas at 2 sites 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 1 inclusion and 6 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Oct 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Cesare Hassan (02-82247385, cesare.hassan@hunimed.eu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Non-inferiority in Adenoma Detection Rate (time frame: 4 years). 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 4 Oct 2023.
