AI takes on cancer experts: who makes better treatment plans?

NCT ID NCT07595107

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 will compare treatment recommendations made by a large language model (AI) with those made by a team of cancer experts for 180 people with rectal cancer. The AI will analyze de-identified patient information and suggest a treatment plan. The goal is to see how often the AI's advice matches the experts' decisions. The AI's recommendations will not be used to treat patients.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that AI can help doctors make consistent treatment plans for rectal cancer, potentially improving decision-making.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early observational study at one hospital. The AI may not match expert recommendations, and results may not apply to other cancers or hospitals.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Participants

About 180 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

Jun 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Dec 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

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 will consist of consecutive adult patients with pathologically confirmed rectal adenocarcinoma who are scheduled for routine rectal cancer multidisciplinary team discussion at Shandong Cancer Hospital and Institute. Eligible cases must have sufficient clinical, pathological, and imaging information to allow preparation of a standardized de-identified case summary for concordance assessment between large language model-generated recommendations and multidisciplinary team reference recommendations.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

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. Age 18 years or older. 2. Pathologically confirmed rectal adenocarcinoma. 3. Scheduled for routine rectal cancer multidisciplinary team discussion at the study center. 4. Availability of complete or substantially complete standardized decision-making information before multidisciplinary team discussion, including clinical, pathological, and key imaging information. 5. Availability of a structured pelvic magnetic resonance imaging report meeting the requirements of the institutional rectal cancer multidisciplinary team, including at least tumor location, clinical T stage, clinical N stage, circumferential resection margin or mesorectal fascia status, extramural vascular invasion status, and lateral lymph node status. 6. Presence of a defined clinical treatment decision question. 7. Clinical data can be sufficiently de-identified for research use. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Severely incomplete clinical information preventing preparation of a standardized case summary. 2. Non-rectal primary tumor. 3. Routine follow-up cases without a defined treatment decision question. 4. Absence of a structured pelvic magnetic resonance imaging report meeting the requirements of the institutional rectal cancer multidisciplinary team, or missing pelvic magnetic resonance imaging elements that preclude key rectal cancer decision-making. 5. Cases containing sensitive information considered unsuitable for large language model input by the study team. 6. Cases in which a definitive treatment decision has already been made before the multidisciplinary team discussion and the meeting serves only as a formal review.
