AI boosts colonoscopy accuracy in massive new trial
NCT ID NCT07307547
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 17, 2026 · Updated 2 times
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.

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 40 to 74 years, inclusive; men and women. 2. Scheduled for elective screening, diagnostic, or surveillance colonoscopy. 3. In generally good condition, mentally competent, and willing to provide written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Known contraindication to colonoscopy or to biopsy. 2. History of colon cancer or previous colonic surgery. 3. Bowel obstruction; confirmed or highly suspected colorectal cancer; inflammatory bowel disease; or active colorectal bleeding. 4. Colorectal polyposis, including a history of familial adenomatous polyposis. 5. Pregnancy or breastfeeding. 6. Participation in another drug or medical device clinical trial within 1 month before enrollment. 7. Any other condition that, in the investigator's judgment, makes the participant unsuitable for this trial. Withdrawal Criteria: 1. Withdrawal of consent by the participant. 2. Inadequate bowel preparation, defined as a Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS) total score below 6 or any segment score below 2. 3. Failure to reach the cecum. 4. Newly diagnosed active colitis during the procedure.
