Evaluating the long-term effectiveness of AI-assisted colonoscopy on adenoma recurrence

Longterm Effectiveness of Artificial Intelligence-assisted Colonoscopy on Adenoma Recurrence - a Prospective Longitudinal Follow-up of Randomized Controlled Trial

Not applicable Interventional Chinese University of Hong Kong · NCT06251700

This study is testing if using AI during colonoscopy can help prevent the return of adenomas in high-risk patients over three years compared to regular colonoscopy.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the long-term effectiveness of AI-assisted colonoscopy in reducing adenoma recurrence compared to standard colonoscopy. Following a previous randomized controlled trial, participants who received AI-assisted colonoscopy will be monitored for adenoma recurrence over a three-year period. The goal is to determine if the increased detection of adenomas can lead to better long-term outcomes and potentially extend surveillance intervals for high-risk patients. This real-world, prospective study aims to provide insights into the impact of AI technology on colonoscopy outcomes.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are individuals who participated in the ENDOAID-TRAIN study and are willing to undergo a follow-up surveillance colonoscopy at year 3.

Not a fit: Patients with advanced comorbidities, a history of colorectal cancer, or those who have undergone colectomy may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved long-term outcomes for patients undergoing colonoscopy by reducing the incidence of adenoma recurrence.

How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown promising results with AI-assisted colonoscopy, indicating potential benefits, but this specific long-term effectiveness assessment is novel.
