Head-to-Head Evaluation of the Cancer Ontology Supervised Multimodal Orchestration (COSMO) AI System Versus Pathologist-Only Review

Study summary

This study evaluates the diagnostic performance of the Cancer Ontology Supervised Multimodal Orchestration (COSMO) AI system for cancer subtype classification and compares it head-to-head with pathologist-only review. Pathologists will independently review de-identified whole-slide images derived from up to 300 patients across three anatomical sites (brain, lung, kidney) and provide diagnostic assessments. In parallel, COSMO will process the same cases offline to generate independent predictions, enabling direct comparison of diagnostic accuracy between human experts and the AI system. The study will characterize the diagnostic accuracy of COSMO and pathologists, inter-observer agreement, and variations in performance across anatomical sites and cancer types with different incidence rates. Results will establish how COSMO compares to pathologists on identical cases and will inform the development of AI-assisted diagnostic systems in clinical practice.

Public criteria

Who may be able to participate

The sponsor separates these requirements into two groups. You do not need to interpret them alone—use them to guide a conversation with the study team.

Requirements people may need to meetInclusion criteria
  • Board-certified pathologist with expertise in neuropathology, pulmonary pathology, urologic pathology, or general anatomical pathology
  • Minimum of 3 years of clinical diagnostic experience
  • Active clinical practice involving diagnostic pathology slide review
  • Willingness to independently review and diagnose up to 300 de-identified whole-slide images
  • Ability to access the study platform and complete case reviews within the specified study timeline
  • Provision of informed consent for study participation
Reasons someone may not be able to joinExclusion criteria
  • Prior involvement in the design or validation of the COSMO AI system
  • Inability to commit sufficient time to complete assigned case reviews
  • Presence of significant financial conflicts of interest related to the study outcomes

Important: This is the sponsor’s public criteria, not a determination of eligibility. The study team must review your individual situation.
