Study summary

The study objective is to establish the efficacy of the colorectal polyp Clinical Decision Support Device (CDSD) in clinical use.

Read the detailed description

Prospective, single arm, multicenter study with participating endoscopists comprising a range of clinical experience.

Consecutive consented patients meeting the entrance criteria will undergo standard colonoscopy with the adjunctive use of CDSD. Sensitivity and specificity of CDSD-unaided and CDSD-aided predictions will be compared with the ground truth of histopathology.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Nov 2020 to primary completion in Sep 2022, 22 months.

Results were first posted in Apr 2025, 2 years 6 months after primary completion.

Of 79 interventional studies with no phase under Polyps, half reached primary completion within 23 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 42. This study's 22 months is close to that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Apr 17, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
