Test of a stool screening test for colon cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study checks how well a specific stool test (a sample of poop) can find colorectal cancer or “advanced adenoma” before a colonoscopy. If you’re the right age and at average risk, it may help evaluate a less invasive way to screen for problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 45 or older
- Be told you should get a screening colonoscopy (not because of urgent symptoms)
- Be at average risk: no past colon cancer or precancer polyps, and no inflammatory bowel disease
- Have no strong inherited cancer conditions (like Lynch syndrome or FAP) in you or your family
- Be able to collect stool samples within 90 days before your colonoscopy
- Be willing to complete the colonoscopy after the stool sample

This trial tests whether a stool blood test can help decide who truly needs a follow-up colonoscopy after prior colon polyps. It may reduce unnecessary colonoscopies while still catching concerning changes early.
This study checks how well a set of bacterial gene markers (a DNA-like test) can help identify advanced “precancer-like” or higher-risk growths in the colon. It may help doctors better target who needs closer follow-up during colonoscopy.
This study looks at whether a simple blood test can help guide the care of people being evaluated for colorectal cancer. It may support earlier or clearer decision-making alongside existing screening or colonoscopy results.
This study tests if a stool microbiome test can help find colorectal cancer early in people who already had a positive FIT screening test. You would give a stool sample and your microbiome results will be compared to what the colonoscopy finds.
This study is looking for people newly diagnosed with colorectal cancer or advanced adenoma to help find better ways to detect the disease early using advanced lab tests on blood samples.
This trial tests a new test called Gixam that may help find pre-cancerous polyps or colorectal cancer earlier. It is for people who had a positive FIT stool test and are scheduled for a colonoscopy.
