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 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 tests a fecal immunochemical test (FIT) to find colorectal cancer or precancerous growths. It aims to see if a simple stool sample can help detect problems early.
This trial offers free screening for colorectal cancer using a stool test for people aged 45-74. It is for those who haven't had certain colorectal tests recently and are generally healthy.
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.
