Testing a new stool test for colon cancer risk
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You've had a positive FIT stool test in the last 6 months.
- You are scheduled for a screening colonoscopy at a study site.
- You have not had a colonoscopy in the last 9 years (unless it was incomplete and more than a year ago).
- You have no personal or family history of colorectal cancer or certain genetic syndromes (like Lynch syndrome or FAP).
- You have not taken probiotics in the last 3 months, have no tongue piercing, and have not had dental work in the last week.

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 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 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.
This trial is testing a new way to screen for colorectal cancer in adults aged 45 to 74. If you join, you will help researchers find better methods for early detection.
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 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.
