Evaluating AI-assisted colonoscopy for detecting polyps in follow-up patients

Assessing the Additional Neoplasia Yield of Computer-aided Colonoscopy in Follow-up Patients in a Screening Setting

NA · Fondazione Poliambulanza Istituto Ospedaliero · NCT06160466

This study is testing whether using AI technology during colonoscopy can help find more polyps in people aged 50 to 74 who are having follow-up procedures after previous polyp detection.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to assess the effectiveness of Computer-Aided Detection (CADe) technology in improving the adenoma detection rate (ADR) during colonoscopy procedures. Participants aged 50 to 74, who are undergoing follow-up colonoscopy after previous polyp detection, will be randomly assigned to receive either CADe-assisted colonoscopy or conventional colonoscopy. The study will utilize the GI Genius AI software to enhance the detection of mucosal lesions in real-time, comparing the outcomes between the two groups to determine if CADe significantly increases the ADR. The trial seeks to address the issue of missed polyps during colonoscopy, which can lead to interval cancers.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are patients aged 50 to 74 who are undergoing follow-up colonoscopy after previous polyp detection.

Not a fit: Patients who are unwilling or unable to provide informed consent or those on anticoagulants that prevent polyp removal may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved detection of polyps and adenomas, potentially reducing the risk of post-colonoscopy interval cancers.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results with AI-assisted detection methods in colonoscopy, indicating a potential for significant advancements in this area.
