About this study

Official title: Identification of High Risk People for Colorectal Cancer in Indre-et-Loire (France) and Evaluation of a Specific Surveillance System : a Randomized Trial Assessing the Efficacy of a Letter Encouraging People to Perform Colonoscopy Screening

Colorectal cancer is one the most frequent cancer in developed countries. In France, it rank third with 43000 new cases in 2015. French Health Authority recommended colonoscopy screening for people with a high risk for colorectal cancer. But this compliance with colonoscopy is low (20-40%), it is therefore necessary to develop new strategies to improve compliance.

The purpose of this project is to to offer and evaluate the feasibility and the effectiveness of a specific surveillance system for high risk people for colorectal cancer

The project will be divided into 2 phases:

Objectives of the first phase:

  • Identify high risk people for colorectal cancer in the department of Indre-et-Loire,
  • Fill in as completely as possible their colonoscopic history in the past 5 years,
  • Estimate the proportion of high risk people for colorectal cancer in the target population for colorectal cancer screening in Indre-et-Loire (Men and women aged from 50 to 74 years).

Objective of the second phase:

Compare the performed colonoscopy rate of high risk people for colorectal cancer without notion of colonoscopy in the past 58 months following or not (control group) the sending of a letter reminding the importance of compliance with colonoscopy.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Reminder letterBehavioural

    The letter will consist in several parts:

    • Reminder of : -the need of individual follow-up for high risk people for colorectal cancer AND - the general recommendations (one colonoscopy every 5 years)
    • Recommendation to consult their general practitioner or gastroenterologist if they haven't done their follow up
    • Request information if they've done their follow-up or if we have incorrect information
    • Indication that the letter is sent as part of a surveillance program specific for high risk people for colorectal Cancer

What is being measured

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

  1. Calculate the rate of high risk people for colorectal cancer identified in the target population for colorectal cancer screening in Indre-et-Loire (Men and women aged from 50 to 74 years)

    Measured: one year

  2. Comparison of the performed colonoscopy rate within 12 months following randomization / send letter in the 2 arms

    Measured: 12 months after sending the letter (/randomization)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Reminder letter in people with Cancer Colorectal, run by University Hospital, Tours at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

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?

Calculate the rate of high risk people for colorectal cancer identified in the target population for colorectal cancer screening in Indre-et-Loire (Men and women aged from 50 to 74 years) (time frame: one year). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 May 2019.
