Effect of Blink-Based Training on Cancer Detection in Colorectal Polyp Images by Medical Students/Non GI-trainees
Belgium65 participantsStarted 2025-12-20
Plain-language summary
This study investigates whether a brief educational intervention using Blink features can improve medical students' and non-GI trainees' ability to detect colorectal cancer in static polyp images. Secondary aims include evaluating changes in specificity, confidence, and interobserver agreement, determining which Blink features support accurate detection, and examining the link between the number of features recognized and diagnostic performance. The study will recruit medical students and non-GI trainees without prior training in polyp morphology or endoscopic image interpretation, who will complete an online pre- and post-intervention image-based survey.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Images of large non-pedunculated colorectal polyps (LNPCPs) obtained from patients who have provided informed consent for the anonymous use of polyp images during colonoscopy (EC-2024-200).
* Medical students and non-GI trainees who have provided written informed consent to participate in the study.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Participants (students or non-GI trainees) with prior experience in endoscopy or polyp detection, or those who do not provide informed consent.
* Images deemed to be of insufficient quality by the principal investigator.
* Patients who do not provide informed consent for image use and data collection.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Change in sensitivity for detection of colorectal cancer in polyp images
Timeframe: Immediately before and after the educational intervention (within one online survey session, approximately 15-20 minutes).
