AI reads prostate cancer scans: could it help doctors stage tumors faster?

NCT ID NCT07707232

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether a large language model (a type of AI) can accurately stage prostate cancer by reading Chinese PSMA PET/CT reports. Researchers will compare the AI's staging against expert doctors' assessments using thousands of de-identified reports. The goal is to see if AI can reliably identify cancer stage and uncertainty in the report text, potentially aiding clinical workflows.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Large language model-assisted report annotation workflow
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to faster, more consistent staging of prostate cancer from imaging reports, helping doctors make better treatment decisions.
What could go wrong
This is an early, observational study using historical reports, so the model may not perform well in real-world settings or on different types of data.

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 consists of male patients aged 18 years or older with clinically diagnosed, pathologically diagnosed, or clinically suspected prostate cancer who underwent PSMA PET/CT as part of routine clinical care. The study will include de-identified Chinese PSMA PET/CT report texts from the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, the First Affiliated Hospital of Ningbo University, and Liuzhou People's Hospital, as well as a prospective set of 100 consecutive routine PSMA PET/CT reports from the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University.

Show the full entry requirements

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

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male patients aged 18 years or older. 2. Patients with clinically diagnosed, pathologically diagnosed, or clinically suspected prostate cancer. 3. Patients who underwent PSMA PET/CT for initial staging, recurrence assessment, treatment response evaluation, metastatic assessment, or other clinical purposes during routine care. 4. Complete or basically complete Chinese PSMA PET/CT report text is available, including imaging findings and/or diagnostic impression. 5. The report text contains information that can be used to evaluate at least one target field, such as local prostate lesion, regional lymph nodes, non-regional lymph nodes, bone metastasis, visceral metastasis, or uncertainty expressions. 6. The research data can be de-identified and replaced by a study identification number before analysis. Exclusion Criteria: 1. PSMA PET/CT reports unrelated to prostate cancer, or reports clearly irrelevant to the research task. 2. Reports with severely missing, unreadable, or unavailable main text, imaging findings, or diagnostic impression. 3. Reports that cannot be adequately de-identified or contain residual direct personal identifiers that cannot be safely removed. 4. Duplicate records, repeated exports of the same examination, or records for which the unique report version cannot be confirmed. 5. Reports judged by the research team to be of insufficient quality for manual annotation, model evaluation, or statistical analysis.
