AI tool may help doctors decide which tiny polyps to remove
NCT ID NCT07389759
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) system can help doctors better identify small colorectal polyps (5 mm or smaller) during a colonoscopy. Over 360 doctors will use the system to predict whether polyps are harmless or precancerous. The goal is to see if the tool helps doctors meet accuracy standards, which could allow some polyps to be left in place or discarded without lab testing.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- CADx-Assisted Endoscopic Diagnosis System
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors accurately diagnose tiny polyps during colonoscopy, potentially reducing the need for lab analysis and unnecessary polyp removal.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study without a treatment, so it won't directly improve patient health. The results may not apply to all doctors or settings.
