Stool microbiome test for colon cancer screening
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 50 and 74 years old and taking part in a national bowel cancer screening program.
- You got a positive result on a stool test (called FIT) that checks for hidden blood.
- You are able to have a colonoscopy and are willing to follow the study procedures.
- You do not have another active cancer or serious digestive diseases (like diverticulitis, inflammatory bowel disease).
- You have not taken antibiotics, acid-reducing pills (like omeprazole), or probiotics in the last 4 weeks.
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

This trial tests a new tool that looks at gut bacteria to help find colorectal cancer earlier. It's for people who already had a positive result on a standard stool test (FIT) as part of a national screening program.
This study checks whether a stool test that looks for tiny genetic signals can help detect colorectal cancer (or find it again after prior findings). You may be asked to provide a stool sample around the time you get a colonoscopy.
This study tests if a more straightforward screening process can work better for people referred with possible colon cancer symptoms. It looks at how a positive stool test (FIT) leads to a diagnosis.
This trial compares different ways to screen healthy adults aged 45–74 for colorectal cancer using non-invasive tests. If you join, you will help find the best method to catch cancer early and prevent it.
This trial tests a new stool-based test (FIT) to see if it can help find colon cancer early in people with Lynch syndrome. You will collect stool samples at home and complete surveys before your regular colonoscopy.
This study tests whether a stool sample can help detect early signs of cancers in the stomach, colon, and related organs. Researchers will compare stool test results with findings from standard camera procedures to see if this non-invasive approach might catch cancer earlier.
