NCT06041945

Brief Summary

This three parallel-arms, randomized, multicenter trial is aimed at investigating the value of AI-assisted optical biopsy for differentiating between neoplastic and non-neoplastic polyps which will lead to the implementation of cost-saving strategies in screening programs. A cost-effectiveness analyses with the use of modern trial emulation analyses of large observational and clinical trial datasets and real-cost data will be conducted. To improve personalized treatment with a novel colonoscopy CADx risk-prediction tool, the investigators will even develop a novel deep learning algorithm for the optical biopsy of the alternative pathway of colorectal cancer carcinogenesis, namely the serrated pathway and develop cost-effectiveness models of AI-assisted optical biopsy in colorectal cancer screening that provides reliable information to identify cancer risk regardless of physicians' skill.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Non-inferiority in Adenoma Detection Rate

    Non-inferiority in the Adenoma Detection Rate, defined as the proportion of participants with at least one adenoma (per-patient analysis) in the three arms, when adopting a cost-saving leave-in-situ strategy for non-neoplastic rectosigmoid diminutive polyps.

    4 years

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Negative Predictive Value for colorectal neoplasia

    4 years

  • Concordance between post-polypectomy surveillance and when adopting a leave-in-situ strategy

    4 years

  • Change in the cost of polypectomy and histology in screening programs

    4 years

Study Arms (3)

Standard Arm CADe

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Standard, high-definition colonoscopy with the use of CADe assistance (GI-GENIUS, Medtronic; CAD-EYE, Fujifilm; WISE VISION ,NEC). All detected polyps regardless of size and optical diagnosis will be resected and sent to pathology.

Device: Standard, high-definition colonoscopy with the use of CADe assistance

Standard Arm CADe/CADx

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Standard, high-definition colonoscopy with the use of CADe/CADx assistance (GI-GENIUS, Medtronic; CAD-EYE, Fujifilm; WISE VISION ,NEC). All detected polyps regardless of size and optical diagnosis will be resected and sent to pathology.

Device: Standard, high-definition colonoscopy with the use of CADe/CADx assistance, no leave-in-situ

Leave-In-Situ Arm

EXPERIMENTAL

Standard, high-definition colonoscopy with the use of CADe/CADx assistance (GI-GENIUS, Medtronic; CAD-EYE, Fujifilm; WISE VISION, NEC). Polyps will be left in situ if diminutive (≤5 mm) in size, located in the rectum or sigma and optically diagnosed by the endoscopist using the system to be hyperplastic with high confidence, otherwise resected and sent to pathology.

Device: Standard, high-definition colonoscopy with the use of CADe/CADx assistance, leave-in-situ
