Study summary

The objective of this observational study is to investigate whether the self-developed whole slide scanning and artificial intelligence diagnostic system for pancreatic solid lesion puncture cytopathology (hereinafter referred to as the "Zhiying Shunxi" ROSE-AI diagnostic system) can promptly and accurately diagnose solid pancreatic lesions (SPLs). The main question it aims to answer is:

By utilizing optical imaging technology to capture RGB images of Diff-Quik stained smears from pancreatic punctures, can the development of artificial intelligence algorithms assist in differentiating solid pancreatic space-occupying diseases (such as pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, and non-neoplastic benign lesions)?

Researchers will compare the diagnoses of SPLs made by the ROSE-AI system with the actual pathological diagnoses of the SPLs themselves to determine whether the ROSE-AI system can effectively diagnose SPLs.

Study population

All patients were obtained due to the necessity for disease treatment and in accordance with routine clinical workflows, and finally were confirmed as pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, and non-neoplastic benign lesions.

Inclusion criteria

  • A dated and signed informed consent form A commitment to abide by the research procedures and cooperate throughout the entire study Subjects aged 18 and above, regardless of gender Diagnosis or suspicion of a solid pancreatic space-occupying lesion based on imaging studies (B-mode ultrasound, CT, or MRI)

Interventions

  • DeviceROSE-AI diagnostic system

    All samples were obtained due to the necessity for disease treatment and in accordance with routine clinical workflows. After the pathological diagnoses were confirmed by the pathology departments of the hospitals affiliated with the respective endoscopic centers, the eligible pancreatic puncture Diff-Quik stained smears were borrowed and transferred to Ruijin Hospital Affiliated to School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. There, the self-developed "Zhiying Shunxi" system was used to capture corresponding traditional light microscope RGB images. After the imaging was completed, all specimens were returned to the endoscopic centers from which they originated. Using the RGB images as input, an artificial intelligence algorithm was developed to assist in differentiating solid pancreatic lesions.

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

Started Dec 2024 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for May 2027, 29 months after the start.

Of 45 observational studies under Pancreatic Diseases, half reached primary completion within 56 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 22 and three quarters within 119. This study's planned 29 months is below 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 Feb 13, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
