NCT04278274

Brief Summary

In this study, investigators seek for a better way to identify the potential pathologic complete response (pCR) patients form non-pCR patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC), based on their post-neoadjuvant treatment Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data. Previously, a post neoadjuvant treatment MRI based radiomics AI model had been constructed and trained. Here, the predictive power of this artificial intelligence system and expert radiologist to identify pCR patients from non-pCR LARC patients will be compared in this prospective, multicenter, back-to-back clinical study

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The area under curve (AUC) of Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves of AI prediction system and expert radiologists in prediction tumor response

    The area under curve (AUC) of Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves of AI prediction system and expert radiologists in identifying the pCR candidates from non-pCR individuals among neoadjuvant chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy treated LARC patients will be calculated respectively.

    baseline

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • The specificity of AI prediction system and expert radiologists in prediction tumor response

    baseline

  • The sensitivity of AI prediction system and expert radiologists in prediction tumor response

    baseline

Study Arms (1)

patients will be evaluated by artificial intelligence system and expert radiologist

the patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) finished the neoadjuvant treatment, and not yet receive total mesorectum excision (TME) surgery will be enrolled. The post-neoadjuvant treatment MRI images features of each enrolled patients will be captured by the artificial intelligence system, and evaluated by experienced radiologists as well. Blind to the pathologic report of TME specimen, both approaches further respectively yield a predicted pathologic response to neoadjuvant treatment for each enrolled patient, shown as pCR or non-pCR.

Procedure: artificial intelligence prediction systemProcedure: the radiologists

Interventions

The tumor ROI in the post- neoadjuvant treatment MRI images will be manually delineated, and further subjected to the AI prediction system arm to verify the predictive accuracy of this AI prediction system in identifying the pCR individuals from non-pCR patients with LARC.

The enrolled patients will be assigned to the trained experienced radiologists to evaluate their predictive accuracy in identifying the pCR individuals from non-pCR patients

Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

In the study, the population are the patients with LARC, who receive neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy or chemotherapy and TME surgery. The response of neoadjuvant treatment is unknown.

You may qualify if:

  • pathologically diagnosed as rectal adenocarcinoma
  • defined as clinical II-III staging (≥T3, and/or positive nodal status) without distant metastasis
  • receive neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy or chemotherapy
  • pre- and post-neoadjuvant treatment MRI data obtained
  • receive total mesorectum excision (TME) surgery after neoadjuvant therapy and get the pathologic assessment of tumor response

You may not qualify if:

  • with history of other cancer
  • insufficient imaging quality of MRI to delineate tumor volume or obtain measurements (e.g., lack of sequence, motion artifacts)
  • not completing neoadjuvant chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy
  • tumor recurrence or distant metastasis during neoadjuvant treatment
  • not undergoing surgery resulting in lack of pathologic assessment of tumor response
