Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 99 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Up to 6600 patients referred through the UK Urgent Suspected Cancer Pathway.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients 18 years and over
  • Patients referred from primary care to the 'urgent suspected cancer' CRC pathway during the study period.
  • Patients who provide voluntary written informed consent to participate in the study.

Who cannot join

  • Patients who are unable to undergo digital rectal examination (DRE).
  • Patients with peri-anal/anal symptoms that may limit DRE and proctoscopy examination and it would be clinically inappropriate to attempt to assess these patients. This may include conditions such as:
  • Patients who have undergone radiotherapy.
  • An acute or chronic anal fissure
  • Perianal haematoma
  • Acute thrombosed haemorrhoids
Show all 9Show fewer
  • Post- operative anal stenosis
  • The presence of an obstructing anal/low rectal tumour or discomfort as a result of previous pelvic radiotherapy
  • Current pregnancy or suspicion of pregnancy.

About this study

Official title: Development of a Multiomics Assay for Use on OriColTM Sampled Rectal Mucus for Detection of Cancer and Significant Polyps in Symptomatic Patients on the Colorectal Urgent Suspected Cancer Pathway

Development of a multiomics assay for use on OriColTM sampled rectal mucus for detection of cancer and significant polyps in symptomatic patients on the Colorectal Urgent Suspected Cancer pathway.

Read the detailed description

The primary objectives of the study are:

  1. Confirm the presence of established genetic, epigenetic and microbiome based biomarker signatures associated with CRC and high-risk adenoma (defined as >10mm in diameter or the presence of high-grade dysplasia) in colorectal urgent suspected cancer referrals, who are triaged for colonoscopy.
  2. To expand and refine the genomic, epigenetic and microbiome biomarker signature profiles associated with colorectal cancer and high-risk adenoma to identify rarer biomarkers in addition to those previously established.
  3. To generate indicative performance metrics, including an assessment of discriminatory power, sensitivity, specificity and negative predictive values for the clinical application of Oricol™ multiomics assay.

The Secondary Objectives of the study are:

  1. To assess the health economics of delivering a diagnostic service to patients referred to the urgent suspected cancer (USC) pathway via a Community Diagnostic Centre (CDC) in comparison to the current delivery mechanisms through the Two-Week Wait (TWW) pathway.

  • Oricol TestDiagnostic test

    Assessment of diagnostic accuracy of Oricol Sampling device for triage in patients with suspected lower gastrointestinal cancer

What is being measured

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

  1. TRIOMIC - 1

    Determination of the clinical utility for stratification of colorectal cancer and high risk adenoma in a symptomatic population using hologenomic analysis.

    Measured: 26 months

  2. TRIOMIC - 2

    To expand and refine the genomic, epigenetic and microbiome biomarker signature profiles associated with colorectal cancer and high-risk adenoma to identify rarer biomarkers in addition to those previously established.

    Measured: 26 month

  3. TRIOMIC - 3

    To generate indicative performance metrics, including an assessment of discriminatory power, sensitivity, specificity and negative predictive values for the clinical application of Oricol™ multiomics assay.

    Measured: 26 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Health Economic Assessment

    1. To assess the health economics of delivering a diagnostic service to patients referred to the urgent suspected cancer (USC) pathway via a Community Diagnostic Centre (CDC) in comparison to the current delivery mechanisms through the Two-Week Wait (TWW) pathway.

    Measured: 26 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colorectal Cancer and Adenoma Colon Polyp, run by Origin Sciences at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Apr 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Jon Lacy-Colson, FRCS (+44(0)1743261000, jon.lacy-colson@sath.nhs.uk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

TRIOMIC - 1 (time frame: 26 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06649123, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 4 Apr 2025.
