Project description
Artificial intelligence as a new tool for cancer management coordination
The EU-funded CHAIMELEON project aims to establish an EU-wide repository for health-related imaging data as an open source for AI experimentation in cancer management. The repository will be built on the experience of clinical partners and external collaborators, providing multimodal imaging and related clinical data for past and newly diagnosed lung, prostate and colorectal cancer patients. A multimodal analytical data engine will facilitate the interpretation and extraction of the relevant information stored at the repository, whose applicability and performance as a tool enabling AI experimentation will be validated by other world-class European AI developers. Selected AI tools will undergo early validation in observational clinical studies coordinated by leading experts in lung, breast, colorectal and prostate cancer hospitals.
Objective
CHAIMELEON aims to set up a structured repository for health imaging data to be openly reused in AI experimentation for cancer management. An EU-wide repository will be built as a distributed infrastructure in full compliance with legal and ethics regulations in the involved countries. It will build on partner´s experience (e.g. PRIMAGE repository for paediatric cancer and the Euro-BioImaging node for Valencia population, by HULAFE; the Radiomics Imaging Archive by Maastricht University; the national repository DRIM AI France, the Oncology imaging biobank by Pisa University). Clinical partners and external collaborators will populate the Repository with multimodality (MR, CT, PET/CT) imaging and related clinical data for historic and newly diagnosed lung, prostate, colon and rectal cancer patients.
A multimodal analytical data engine will facilitate to interpret, extract and exploit the right information stored at the Repository. An ambitious development and implementation of AI-powered pipelines will enable advancement towards automating data deidentification, curation, annotation, integrity securing and images harmonisation, the latest being of the highest importance for enabling reproducibility of Radiomics when using large multiscanner/multicentre image datasets.
The usability and performance of the Repository as a tool fostering AI experimentation will be validated, including a validation subphase by other world-class European AI developers, articulated via the organisation of Open Challenges to the AI Community. A set of selected AI tools will undergo early on-silico validation in observational (non-interventional) clinical studies coordinated by leading experts in Gustave Roussy (lung cancer), San Donato (breast), Sapienza (colon and rectal) and La Fe (prostate) hospitals. Their performance will be assessed, including external independent validation, on hallmark clinical decisions in response to some of the currently most important clinical end points in cancer.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
