AI aims to improve colon polyp measurement for cancer prevention
NCT ID NCT06957015
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests an AI tool called EndoAIM that helps doctors measure the size of polyps found during a colonoscopy. Accurate size measurement is important because larger polyps (over 10 mm) have a higher risk of becoming cancer. The study will enroll 278 adults undergoing colonoscopy to see if the AI improves measurement accuracy compared to standard methods.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- EndoAIM (AI software device used during colonoscopy)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this AI tool could help doctors more accurately measure polyp size, leading to better decisions about cancer risk and follow-up care.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study with 278 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The AI may not perform better than current methods, and technical issues could affect accuracy.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: Subjects are eligible if: 1. They have received colonoscopy for screening, surveillance or symptom investigation; 2. Aged 18 years older or above; 3. Written informed consent obtained. Exclusion Criteria: Subjects are excluded if they have: 1. Contraindication to colonoscopy (e.g. intestinal obstruction or perforation) 2. Contraindication or conditions precluding polyp resection (e.g. active gastrointestinal bleeding, uninterrupted anticoagulation or dual antiplatelets) 3. Advanced comorbid conditions (defined as American Society of Anesthesiologists grade 4 or above)
