Validation of Artificial Intelligence as Decision Support System in VIA

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The research project is a component of another research project that applies the protocol of the World Health Organization for screening of cervical cancer, with testing of high-risk Human Papilloma Virus (hrHPV) as first screening. In the screen, triage and treat approach women who tested positive for hrHPV are undergoing Visual Inspection of the cervix with Acetic Acid (VIA). This procedure is applied in Uganda, India and Bangladesh. However the quality of VIA by lower-trained staff is variable because Low and Middle Income Countries face limited numbers of qualified health care professionals. Artificial intelligence (AI) might be a solution to improve consistency of VIA assessment. This research validates an AI decision support system (AI-DSS) under field conditions.

Clinical Trial Description

This research project aims to validate an image processing algorithm in order to study if the AI can function as decision support system (DSS) for healthcare workers, who perform VIA. The AI-DSS has been designed by the Manipal Academy of Higher Education in India and has shown a sensitivity of 99.05% and specificity of 97.16% for detection of aceto-white lesions. The first step of the validation process is a dry run using a database of VIA pictures with pathology confirmation. The accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of healthcare workers, an expert team and the AI will be analysed, based on the ground truth of database pictures. Thereafter, the AI-DSS will be validated under field conditions. Women who are hrHPV-positive in Uganda, India and Bangladesh will undergo a VIA. The AI is incorporated in a device, that can take pictures of the cervix and provide and instant report (positive = needs further investigation or negative = no lesions found). The user experience of the device will be evaluated. The AI-DSS will be validated by comparing the VIA assessment by health workers, the AI with assessment by the expert panel. Accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of the AI algorithm will be assessed. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
