NCT ID NCT04921488
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether an artificial intelligence system called CAD EYE can accurately predict if colon polyps are cancerous during a screening colonoscopy. Researchers compared the AI's predictions to the doctor's judgment and the final lab results. The goal is to see if AI can improve accuracy and reduce costs in colorectal cancer screening.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance

What this could lead to
If successful, this AI tool could help doctors spot cancerous polyps more accurately during routine colonoscopies, potentially reducing unnecessary biopsies and costs.
What could go wrong
This is a completed, moderate-sized study (194 people). The AI may not be as accurate as hoped, and results may not apply to all populations or settings.
