Study summary

Colorectal cancer is the second most common malignancy in the countries of the European Union. Colonoscopy is the primary method for detecting and preventing the development of colorectal cancer is endoscopic examination. This study aims to evaluate the impact of artificial intelligence on the detection rate of polyps and early stages of colorectal cancer.

Read the detailed description

Colorectal cancer is the second most common malignancy in the countries of the European Union. The primary method for detecting and preventing the development of colorectal cancer is endoscopic examination-colonoscopy, during which precancerous lesions such as adenomas and serrated polyps can be removed. The effectiveness of colonoscopy depends on the adenoma detection rate, which varies among endoscopists and is influenced by their skills and experience. It has been proven that high-quality colonoscopy prevents the omission of colorectal cancer, which might develop in the future as so-called interval cancer. A breakthrough in machine learning in recent years has enabled the development of commercial artificial intelligence systems. These systems aim to improve the detection rates of precancerous polyps and, consequently, potentially reduce the risk of developing colorectal cancer. Artificial intelligence is also expected to help standardize performance across endoscopic procedures of varying quality, thereby contributing to a reduction in colorectal cancer incidence in the future. This study aims to evaluate the impact of artificial intelligence on the detection rate of polyps and early stages of colorectal cancer.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    AI-group

    AI-group will include patients undergoing colonoscopy with the support of the ENDO-AID OIP-1 artificial intelligence system for colorectal polyp detection.

    Device: Computer-aided detection (CADe)

  • No intervention
    Non-AI-group

    Non-AI-group will consist of patients undergoing colonoscopy without the assistance of this system.

Interventions

  • DeviceComputer-aided detection (CADe)

    Endo-Aid CADe system is an AI-assisted computer-aided lesion detection application on ENDO-AID hardware. It uses a complex algorithm created via a neural network developed and taught by Olympus. With this new app, the sophisticated machine learning system can alert the endoscopist in real-time when a suspicious lesion appears on the screen. The image from the vision processor is transferred to the CADe device. The computer application recognizes the shape of the polyps and marks their place on the monitor screen.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Adenoma detection rate (ADR)

    The percentage of colonoscopies when at least one histologically proven adenoma was found.

    Time frame: During the colonoscopy examination

Secondary outcomes

  1. Utility of artificial intelligence for both novice and experienced endoscopists

    The difference in adenoma detection rates (ADR) achieved with and without AI in trainees and expert endoscopists.

    Time frame: During the colonoscopy examination

  2. Assessing the morphology of polyps detected during colonoscopy

    Assessment of the differences in polyps' morphology detected in both arms of the study.

    Time frame: During the colonoscopy examination

  3. Cost analysis of procedures performed with the use of artificial intelligence

    The assessment of cost-efficiency of AI implementation, including the increased cost of pathological evaluation and additional surveillance examinations.

    Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 6 months

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 Jan 22, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
