AI eye on your gut: could Computer-Aided colonoscopy cut cancer risk?
NCT ID NCT07299071
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether using a computer-aided detection (CADe) system during screening colonoscopy helps find and remove more advanced polyps, potentially lowering the risk of colorectal cancer. About 592 adults at increased risk for colorectal cancer will be randomly assigned to standard colonoscopy or colonoscopy with CADe. Researchers will then check after 3 years to see if fewer advanced adenomas developed in the CADe group.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- computer-aided detection (CADe) system
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that using AI during colonoscopy helps prevent advanced polyps and potentially reduces the risk of colorectal cancer.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small, early-stage trial (592 participants) and the benefit of CADe in reducing long-term cancer risk is still unproven. The AI may also have false positives or miss some lesions.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients over 18 years of age with indication for colonoscopy as part of a screening program, after a positive immunological (FIT) test, and/or for personal or family history of colorectal cancer and/or personal history of colonic adenomas, * Written informed consent signed * Patients covered by a health-care insurance. Exclusion Criteria: * Failed complete colonoscopy, defined by the absence of cecal intubation and/or the absence of terminal ileum cauterization * Inadequate bowel preparation (Boston bowel preparation score \< 6, and/or least at one part of colon with score ≤ 1) * An infiltrative tumor was diagnosed during colonoscope insertion time, not accessible to endoscopic resection and likely to require surgical management (a procedure where part of the colon may need to be removed). * Patient under guardianship or protection * Pregnant women * Not fluent in French or illiterate * Personal history of inflammatory bowel disease * Personal history of genetic predisposition of CRC * Personal history of colonic surgery
