Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of Caption LungAI.

Description:

After being informed about the study, all patients giving written informed consent will undergo two 8-zone protocol lung ultrasound exams. One exam will be conducted by an expert lung ultrasound user without Caption LungAI and one exam conducted by a (non-expert) healthcare provider who is trained on Caption LungAI and will use Caption LungAI to capture images.

Recruitment information / eligibility

• Status: Recruiting
• Enrollment: 220
• Est. completion date: January 1, 2024
• Est. primary completion date: January 1, 2024
• Accepts healthy volunteers: No
• Gender: All
• Age group: 18 Years and older

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients over the age of 18
• Patients presenting to the hospital or outpatient setting with shortness of breath and suspected B-lines.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients in extremis/in whom a research lung ultrasound would not normally be performed due to other priorities

Related Conditions & MeSH terms

• Dyspnea
• Shortness of Breath

Intervention

Device:
• Caption LungAI
Caption LungAI is a software that is designed to help non-expert healthcare professionals acquire diagnostic quality images on an 8-zone lung protocol for both healthy patients and patients presenting with pathology such as B-Lines.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Diagnostic Image Quality (Trained Healthcare Professional)	Evaluate the product's ability to assist the user to capture a LUS image with diagnostic quality. Percentage of zones with diagnostic image quality > 0.80	Up to 24 weeks from completion of the study.
Primary	B-Lines Detection	Evaluate the product's ability to retrospectively detect present B-lines on images acquired by a local expert with no Caption Lung AI assistance. AUROC > 0.80; Sensitivity (Se) > 0.80; Specificity (Sp) > 0.75	Up to 24 weeks from completion of the study.
Primary	B-Line Significance	Evaluate the product's ability to retrospectively detect B-lines of significant severity on images acquired by a local expert with no Caption Lung AI assistance. AUROC > 0.80; Sensitivity (Se) > 0.80; Specificity (Sp) > 0.75	Up to 24 weeks from completion of the study.
Primary	Remote Reader Performance	Evaluate the product's impact on a remote expert reader's ability to interpret LUS images. Difference Between Aided &; Unaided Groups: AUROC > 0.00; Sensitivity (Se) > 0.00; Specificity (Sp) > 0.00	Up to 24 weeks from completion of the study.
Secondary	Sub-group Analyses	The following sub-group analyses will be performed for the primary endpoints: age (< 65, = 65), BMI group (< 25, 25 = BMI < 30, = 30), gender (Male / Female), site location, trained HCP, and zone of the image (1 - 8).	Up to 24 weeks from completion of the study.
