Completed
Conditions
Colorectal Cancer
Registration Number
NCT03821948

Brief Summary

The primary objective of this study is to collect de-identified, clinically-characterized stool and whole blood specimens for use in developing and evaluating the performance of new biomarker assays for detection of colorectal cancer (CRC).

Detailed Description

Subjects will be men and women, 40 years of age or older who are scheduled for a colonoscopy. Approximately 7,500 subjects will be enrolled.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Stool-based biomarkers associated with genetic and epigenetic alterationsStool sample will be collected prior to initiation of bowel preparation for colonoscopy.

The outcomes are co-primary. Biomarkers under evaluation include differential methylation of nucleic acids and altered expression of proteins in stool from subjects at average risk or increased risk for development of colorectal cancer at the pre-intervention stage.

Blood-based biomarkers associated with genetic and epigenetic alterations.Point in time blood collection (1 day) at enrollment.

The outcomes are co-primary. Biomarkers under evaluation include differential methylation of nucleic acids and altered expression of proteins in blood from subjects at average risk or increased risk for development of colorectal cancer at the pre-intervention stage.
