Study summary

Clinically, DSA-VDet can continuously indicate suspected bleeding regions throughout a complete angiographic sequence and provide a second-reader opinion to the operator. It is expected to reduce the time required for frame-by-frame review and localization of culprit vessels, reduce missed detection of small, multiple, or unusually located bleeding sites, and improve consistency among physicians with different levels of experience. Faster culprit-vessel localization may also reduce repeat angiography, radiation exposure, and unnecessary superselective catheterization. These potential benefits will be tested in the prospective randomized trial; the study does not assume that the model will necessarily improve clinical outcomes. From a translational perspective, the study will establish a standardized temporal DSA database spanning multiple centers, devices, and anatomical regions, together with bleeding-site annotation standards, a model suitable for real-time deployment, and a pathway for clinical evaluation. These resources may provide a reproducible technical foundation for regional collaboration in emergency interventional care and AI-assisted interpretation in lower-resource hospitals.

The core value of this study is therefore to address the 'single-region, weak-temporal, algorithm-centered, clinically under-evaluated' limitations of existing models. Using multicenter DSA videos from multiple anatomical regions, the study will leverage contrast kinetics and motion information to improve detection of small bleeding sites and will progress from retrospective validation through controlled physician interpretation to a prospective randomized trial, providing a continuous evaluation from technical performance to clinical benefit.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • age 18 years or older;
  • suspected acute active bleeding in an intracranial, solid-organ, pelvic, gastrointestinal, respiratory, great-vessel, or other relevant anatomical region requiring DSA-guided interventional diagnosis or treatment;
  • clinical suitability for the planned DSA procedure;
  • written from the patient or legally authorized representative before randomization whenever feasible, or eligibility for an ethics-approved deferred-consent pathway at an activated site when prior consent is impossible and treatment cannot be delayed.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • a history of severe allergic reaction to iodinated contrast medium or related medications that precludes the planned procedure;
  • severe coagulopathy or a count below 50x10\^9/L when interventional treatment is considered clinically inappropriate;
  • severe cardiac or pulmonary insufficiency that makes the planned procedure unsafe;
  • pregnancy or breastfeeding;
  • severe renal insufficiency or another condition that may substantially increase interventional risk;
  • inability to complete angiography safely according to the required workflow despite clinically appropriate support;
  • any other circumstance that, in the investigator's judgment, makes participation unsuitable. Impaired decision-making capacity alone will not be an exclusion if consent can be obtained from a legally authorized representative or through the ethics-approved deferred-consent pathway.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

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.

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    DSA-VDet-assisted group

    During DSA acquisition, DSA-VDet v1.0 will perform continuous frame-by-frame inference and continuously display suspected bleeding regions, confidence scores, and relevant frame indices. The operator will retain responsibility for the final diagnosis, selection of culprit vessels, and all angiographic and embolization decisions.

    Device: DSA-VDet v1.0

  • No intervention
    Conventional-interpretation group

    The operator will perform frame-by-frame interpretation using the conventional DSA equipment and established workflow, without access to DSA-VDet output. Images may undergo offline model analysis after completion of the index procedure for exploratory purposes, but those results must not be available for the index clinical decision.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. the time from the start of the first diagnostic DSA acquisition to achievement of the correct diagnostic endpoint

    To determine whether real-time DSA-VDet v1.0 assistance shortens the time from the start of the first diagnostic DSA acquisition to achievement of the correct diagnostic endpoint, compared with conventional interpretation.

    Time frame: Upon achievement of the correct diagnostic endpoint, an average of 1 hour

Secondary outcomes

  1. the detection and localization performance of DSA-VDet

    To evaluate the detection and localization performance of DSA-VDet in DSA sequences acquired across multiple anatomical regions; to assess its effects on interpretation accuracy, interpretation time, and interobserver agreement among interventional physicians with different levels of experience; and to compare total procedure duration, technical embolization success, repeat angiographic acquisitions, radiation exposure, contrast-medium volume, intraprocedural complications, and adverse events through postprocedure day 30 between the randomized groups.

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

Start is estimated for Oct 2026; primary completion for Oct 2027, 12 months later.

Of 191 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Hemorrhage, half reached primary completion within 19 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 37. This study's planned 12 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 226 studies reached it within 19 months; a quarter within 9 and three quarters within 35.

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 Sep 17, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
