Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In the last decade, many innovative systems have been developed to support and improve the diagnosis accuracy during endoscopic studies. CAD-Eye™ (Fujifilm, Tokyo, Japan) is a computer-assisted diagnostic (CADx) system that uses artificial intelligence for the detection and characterization of polyps during colonoscopy. However, the accuracy of CAD-Eye™ in the recognition of remaining lesions after endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) has not been broadly evaluated.

Finally, based on the importance of complete resection of the colonic mucosal lesions, namely suspicious high-grade dysplasia or early invasive cancer, the investigators aimed to assess the accuracy of CAD-Eye™ in the detection of remaining lesions after the procedure.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Nowadays, the increased polyp and adenoma detection rate, and its early treatment have reduced considerably colorectal cancer-related mortality. For lesions suspicious of high-grade dysplasia or early invasive cancer, the endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), along with snare polypectomy, is now considered one of the established standard treatments. However, there are many ´difficult-to-treat lesions´ such as the large and fibrotic ones, which can lead to incomplete resections.

Based on the above, many newly diagnostic techniques guided by artificial intelligence (AI), currently proposed to improve the polyp detection rate during colonoscopy, can be applied for the detection of remaining lesions after endoscopic treatment.

CAD-Eye™ is CADx for polyp detection and characterization. It improves polyp visualization by using techniques such as blue-laser imaging (BLI-LASER), blue-light imaging (BLI-LED), and linked-color imaging (LCI). This device aimed to improve real-time polyp detection, helping experts identify multiple polyps simultaneously and common inadvertently missed lesions (flat lesions, polyps in difficult areas).

CAD-Eye™ had demonstrated in previous studies an accuracy of 89% to 91.7% in polyp detection. However, few studies had demonstrated its performance in the detection of remaining lesions after EMR. The investigators aimed to take advantage of this system in the detection of remaining lesions immediately after EMR and in its endoscopic control after three months.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Endoscopic mucosal resection + CAD-Eye™

This group constitutes patients with lesions suggestive of high-grade dysplasia or early invasive cancer approached with endoscopic mucosal resection, subjected to colonoscopy + CAD-Eye™ system evaluation for the detection of remaining malignant tissue.

For this group, the investigators used as a complement tool an AI system (CAD-Eye™) for the detection of remaining lesions immediately after EMR and in a three-month follow-up.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

EMR with CAD-Eye™

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Patients of group 1 undergoing Intervention 1 are subjected to an EMR with CAD-Eye™ to detect the remaining lesions immediately after the endoscopic procedure.

The suspected remaining lesions in the post-procedure defect detected with CAD-Eye™ are removed and sent to pathology to confirm the diagnosis.

Follow-up colonoscopy with CAD-Eye™

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Patients undergoing Interventions 1 and 2, with a previous EMR, are assigned for a three-month follow-up using the CAD-Eye™ as a complementary procedure to detect remaining lesions.

For the detection of residual lesions, the colonoscope with the CAD-Eye™ assistance is used during the post-procedural scar evaluation. Suspicious lesions detected are removed and sent to pathology for final diagnosis.

Endoscopic mucosal resection without CAD Eye

This group constitutes patients with lesions suggestive of high-grade dysplasia or early invasive cancer approached with endoscopic mucosal resection and subjected to colonoscopy. The detection of remaining lesions immediately after EMR is based on the visual impression of the expert.

For this group, the investigators used as a complement tool an AI system (CAD-Eye™) only for the evaluation of the post-procedure scar to detect remaining lesions in the three-month follow-up.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

EMR without CAD-Eye™

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Patients of group 2, undergoing intervention 2, subjected to an EMR alone. The immediate detection of remaining lesions is based on the visual impression of the expert.

The suspected remaining lesions in the post-procedure defect are removed and sent to pathology to confirm the diagnosis.

Follow-up colonoscopy with CAD-Eye™

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Patients undergoing Interventions 1 and 2, with a previous EMR, are assigned for a three-month follow-up using the CAD-Eye™ as a complementary procedure to detect remaining lesions.

For the detection of residual lesions, the colonoscope with the CAD-Eye™ assistance is used during the post-procedural scar evaluation. Suspicious lesions detected are removed and sent to pathology for final diagnosis.
