AI eye for colonoscopy: could software catch what doctors miss?
NCT ID NCT07744607
First seen Aug 04, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial evaluates an AI-based software tool designed to assist doctors in interpreting colonoscopy images. Using previously collected images and biopsy results from over a thousand patients, the study checks how accurately the AI classifies colorectal lesions as cancerous, precancerous, or benign. The goal is to see if this technology can reliably support doctors in detecting and assessing colorectal conditions during endoscopic exams.
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-based medical device software (ENAD-CADx-01) for endoscopic imaging assistance
- What this could lead to
- If proven accurate, this AI tool could help doctors better identify and classify colorectal lesions during colonoscopy, potentially improving early detection of cancer and reducing unnecessary biopsies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a retrospective study using stored images, not a real-time test. The AI's performance may differ in live procedures, and it may not generalize to other hospitals or patient groups.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
The study population consisted of adults aged 18 years or older who underwent colonoscopy at Asan Medical Center and had previously collected colonoscopy images of colorectal lesions with corresponding histopathological results. Eligible images were retrospectively analyzed to evaluate the clinical performance of ENAD-CADx-01 in classifying lesions as neoplasm, hyperplastic polyp, or sessile serrated lesion.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Participants aged 18 years or older at the time of colonoscopy. * Participants who underwent colonoscopy at Asan Medical Center and had colorectal lesion images available for retrospective analysis. * Participants with corresponding histopathological results available as the reference standard. * Colonoscopy images that met the predefined image quality requirements for analysis by ENAD-CADx-01. Exclusion Criteria: * Participants without corresponding histopathological results for the colorectal lesion. * Images with insufficient quality for analysis, including severe blur, obstruction, or inadequate visualization of the lesion. * Images or records with missing or insufficient data required for the clinical performance analysis. * Lesions that did not meet the predefined target lesion categories or other eligibility requirements specified in the clinical investigation plan.
