Trial of Direct Home Delivery of Colorectal Cancer Screening Kit Without Pre-ordering

Not Applicable
Recruiting
Conditions
Colorectal Cancer
Registration Number
NCT06032338
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Caen
Brief Summary

The effect of mailing FIT with the invitation on participation and colonoscopy rates will be evaluated in a randomized controlled trial conducted in the Centre-Val de Loire (CVL) region, involving 64,000 people from the population eligible for colorectal cancer population-based organised screening program (CRC-PBOSP).

In the "C" control group, invitations, test delivery and reminders will be carried out in accordance with the CRC-PBOSP rules at the time of the study.

Intervention group "B" will evaluate two experimental modes of invitation with direct home mailing of the test:

* Method "B1": invitation with test sent to home without prior information letter

* Method "B2": information letter followed by invitation with test sent home, designed to optimize participation by first-time subjects (aged 50-51) invited to the CRC-PBOSP for the first time.

Ancillary studies will focus 1/ on acceptability of this intervention (qualitative study on a few general practitioners, gastroenterologists and invitees), 2/ on social and geographical inequalities of participation on a subsample of individuals included in EXPEDIT study using ecological indices (EDI, SCALE).
