Who may be able to join

  • Subject is male or female, 40-90 years of age, inclusive.
  • Subject has a diagnosis of CRC, at any stage, confirmed with a tissue biopsy or colorectal polyp/adenoma/mass that is equal or larger than 1 cm in pre-enrollment colonoscopy with residual lesion in the colon of sufficient size to require additional surgical excision or complex colonoscopic polypectomy.
  • Subject understands the study procedures and is able to provided informed consent to participate in the study and authorization for release of relevant protected health information to the study Investigator.

About this study

The primary objective of this study is to obtain de-identified, clinically characterized, stool and plasma specimens for use in assessing new markers for the detection of neoplasms of the digestive tract.

Read the detailed description

This is a multi-site, prospective sample collection study. Subjects will be men and women, 40-90 years of age, inclusive, each with a colonoscopic biopsy-based diagnosis of CRC and/or a pre-malignant colorectal lesion with large enough residual lesion to require subsequent surgical excision or complex colonoscopic polypectomy.

One stool sample from approximately 300 subjects will be collected in this study. A blood sample will also be collected from subjects.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To provide stool and blood specimens to assess new markers for the detection of CRC

    Measured: 33 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To provide stool and blood specimens for use as controls when assessing new markers for the detection of neoplasms in other locations within the digestive tract (esophagus, stomach, pancreas, etc.)

    Measured: 33 months

  2. To provide stool and blood specimens for a biorepository for future cancer-related diagnostic test development

    Measured: 33 months

  3. To provide quality control material for use in assessing performance of developed assays

    Measured: 33 months

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To provide stool and blood specimens to assess new markers for the detection of CRC (time frame: 33 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
