What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study

Summary

This study tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) system can help doctors spot more precancerous polyps and colorectal cancers during colonoscopy compared to standard procedures. Over 3,300 adults scheduled for screening or surveillance will be randomly assigned to AI-assisted or regular colonoscopy. The goal is to see if AI improves detection rates and reduces missed lesions, which could lead to earlier diagnosis and better outcomes.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 3,342 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

Apr 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Dec 2028

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age between 18 and 75 years, inclusive. 2. Scheduled for a screening, diagnostic, or surveillance colonoscopy. 3. Able to understand the study protocol and provide written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Known contraindications to colonoscopy or biopsy. 2. Personal history of colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), or previous colorectal surgery. 3. Known or suspected colorectal polyposis syndrome (e.g., Familial Adenomatous Polyposis - FAP). 4. Patients with active colorectal bleeding, bowel obstruction, or toxic megacolon. 5. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding. 6. Participation in another interventional clinical trial within the 30 days prior to enrollment. 7. Any other condition that, in the investigator's judgment, would make the participant unsuitable for the study.
