Artificial Intelligence to Implement Cost-saving Strategies for Colonoscopy Screening Based on in Vivo Prediction of Polyp Histology
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Standard, high-definition colonoscopy with the use of CADe assistance: 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-situ: 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-situ: 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.
Study summary
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.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Non-inferiority in Adenoma Detection Rate — 4 years
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.
