About this trial

This clinical trial aims to learn if a multimodal artificial intelligence (AI) model can enhance the diagnosis of pancreatic solid lesions. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Does the AI model enhance the diagnostic performance of endoscopists in diagnosing pancreatic solid lesions? 2. Does the addition of interpretability analysis further improve the diagnostic performance of the assisted endoscopists? Researchers will compare the diagnostic performance of endoscopists with or without the assistance of the AI model.

Participants will:

1. Their clinical data will be prospectively collected. 2. They will be randomized to the AI-assist group and the conventional diagnosis group.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Imaging examinations (MRI, CT, B-ultrasound) show a solid mass in the pancreas, which requires endoscopic ultrasound guided-fine needle aspiration/biopsy (EUS-FNA/B) to clarify the nature of the lesion in patients.

Written consent provided

Treatments tested in this trial

  • The assistance of the Joint-AI model

    Diagnostic test

    Predictions given by the Joint-AI model will be provided to the endoscopists during their diagnosis

    Diagnostic test

    Predictions given by the Joint-AI model and the results of the interpretability analysis will be provided to the endoscopists during their diagnosis

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Rate of correct diagnostic classification with assistance of the Joint-AI Model

The rate of correct diagnoses in discriminating pancreatic cancer from other non-cancer lesions, determined by comparing endoscopist diagnosis assisted by the Joint-AI model against the final histopathological diagnosis (reference standard).

Time frame
Through study completion, an average of 1 year
2

Rate of correct diagnostic classification with assistance of the Interpretable Joint-AI Model

The rate of correct diagnoses in discriminating pancreatic cancer from other non-cancer lesions, determined by comparing endoscopist assessments assisted by the Interpretable Joint-AI model against the final histopathological diagnosis (reference standard)

Time frame
Through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary outcomes

1

Rate of correct diagnostic classification of the Joint-AI model and the interpretable Joint-AI model

Diagnostic accuracy of the AI models in this prospectively collected dataset.

Time frame
Through study completion, an average of 1 year
2

Endoscopist-reported confidence score in diagnosis with AI assistance (the score is on a scale of 0%-100%, where 0 represents "not confident at all" and 100 represents "completely confident")

Endoscopist-reported confidence in diagnosis will be measured on a scale ranging from 0 to 100, where 0 represents "not confident at all" and 100 represents "completely confident." Higher scores indicate greater diagnostic confidence. The confidence scores will be assessed separately for diagnoses made using the Joint-AI model and the interpretable Joint-AI model.

Time frame
Through study completion, an average of 1 year
3

Rate of correct diagnostic classification of endoscopists without AI assistance

Time frame
Through study completion, an average of 1 year
