Deep Bio and ARUP to Conduct a Prospective Study to Evaluate AI Performance in a Real-World Pathology Workflow


SEOUL, South Korea, Oct. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Deep Bio, a leading company in AI cancer diagnostics, announced it obtained an approval from the University of Utah IRB for a real-world implementation study. The company will conduct a prospective study to validate the performance of its AI-based prostate cancer diagnosis software, DeepDx® Prostate, at ARUP Laboratories, a leading reference laboratory in the US.

The study is intended to assess the impact of DeepDx® Prostate in a real-world environment. This study will follow three pathologists on service who will diagnose incoming slides of prostate core needle biopsy specimens using the microscope. Then, after a minimum washout period of three weeks, the same pathologist will review the same slides once again, this time with the assistance of DeepDx® Prostate. The study will evaluate the impact of aided review with DeepDx® Prostate on the diagnostic accuracy and efficiency of pathologists in regard to cancer detection and Gleason grading, among other diagnostic measures. A reference standard diagnosis will be formed for each slide based on the consensus of three other pathologists, and this will serve as the ground truth for diagnostic performance comparisons.

"Most of the studies that evaluate the performance of AI-based medical solutions are retrospective studies which are based on existing diagnosis data. This prospective study is significant in that it validates the overall performance of DeepDx® Prostate on real-world patient data," stated Sun Woo Kim, the CEO of Deep Bio. "We expect our AI solution to provide pathologists with faster and more consistent diagnostic support when applied to clinical workflows," he added.

Beatrice Knudsen, MD, Ph.D., the principal investigator of the study said, "We have high expectations for the impact of DeepDx Prostate in a clinical practice environment. We also anticipate the study will provide data to show how AI solutions can be used by pathologists to increase efficiency of clinical workflows and accuracy of diagnosis."

In addition to this study, Deep Bio and ARUP have plans to collaborate on other clinical research related to cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and prediction.

DeepDx® Prostate is a clinically-validated AI for prostate core needle biopsy tissue image analysis. Whole-slide images (WSIs) of H&E-stained biopsy tissue specimens are analyzed for prostate cancer, Gleason scores and grade group. Extensively tested at a US CLIA lab (> 500k cores as of June 2021), DeepDx® Prostate can alleviate the shortage of pathologists and the resultant increase in workload, while reducing diagnostic subjectivity and variability.
