AI eye on cancer: robot helps spot hidden polyps
NCT ID NCT07066046
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study will test whether artificial intelligence (AI) can help doctors find and identify colorectal polyps during colonoscopy better than standard methods. About 1000 adults having a routine colonoscopy will be randomly assigned to either AI-assisted or standard colonoscopy. The goal is to see if AI increases the number of adenomas (precancerous polyps) detected and improves accuracy in telling harmless polyps from dangerous ones.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Artificial intelligence software (CAD EYE) used during colonoscopy
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could make colonoscopies more accurate at finding precancerous polyps, potentially preventing more colorectal cancers.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-center trial, so results may not apply everywhere. The AI might not improve detection enough to change practice, and it adds extra cost and complexity.

Inclusion Criteria: * All patients aged 18 years or older, with an elective indication for colonoscopy who sign the informed consent form agreeing to participate in the study. Exclusion Criteria: * History of inflammatory bowel disease. * History of colorectal cancer. * Personal history of colorectal surgery. * Contraindication to endoscopic biopsies. * History of intestinal polyposis syndromes. * Urgent or emergency cases. * Presence of severe, decompensated comorbidities, or with a score of 3 or higher according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification. * Incomplete colonoscopy that does not reach the cecum. * Insufficient or inadequate bowel preparation, with a score lower than 6 on the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale. * Patients who do not agree to participate in the study and do not sign the informed consent form (ICF).
