Brief Summary

Colonoscopy is the gold standard for colorectal screening. The diagnostic accuracy of colonoscopy highly depends on the quality of inspection of the colon during the procedure. To increase detection new polyp detection systems based on artificial intelligence (AI) have been developed. However, these systems still depend on the ability of the endoscopist to adequately visualize the complete colonic mucosa, especially to detect smaller and more subtle lesions, or lesions hidden behind folds in the colon. With this study we want to combine a device to flatten the folds in the colon combined with an artificial intelligence system to further improve the detection rate of lesions during colonoscopy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Adenoma Detection Rate (ADR)

    Calculated as the number of patients in whom at least one adenoma is detected during the colonoscopy procedure, divided by the total number of patients that underwent the colonoscopy procedure.

    30 days after procedure

Secondary Outcomes (19)

  • Advanced adenoma detection rate (AADR).

    30 days after procedure

  • Polyp Detection Rate

    30 days after procedure

  • Sessile detection Rate

    30 days after procedure

  • Indication specific ADR,

    30 days after procedure

  • Mean number of adenomas detected per patient

    30 days after procedure

  • +14 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (1)

colonoscopy with a combined BFT and CADe assisted approach

OTHER

This multicenter single-arm colonoscopy trial will compare colonoscopy assisted by both balloon-BFT visualizing and CADe to CADe-only assisted colonoscopy in diagnostic, screening (non-iFOBT based)), or surveillance colonoscopy. The latter group will be selected from the interventional arm from the Discovery II trial, using corresponding participating centers. All subjects in this trial will undergo the same treatment, i.e., combined balloon and CADe-assisted colonoscopy.

Device: colonoscopy assisted by both balloon-Behind The Folds visualizing and Computer assisted detection (CADe)

Interventions

All participants will be subjected to a colonoscopy procedure, assisted by both G-eye balloon and the Discovery CADe system. Standard of care regarding the colonoscopy procedure will be applied to all study subjects. Any lesions detected during the procedure will be removed directly
