Gut bacteria test to screen for colorectal cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 50 and 74 years old

- You are able to have a colonoscopy
- You do not have other cancers or serious health problems like diverticulitis or inflammatory bowel disease
- You have not taken antibiotics, acid-reducing pills, or probiotics in the last 4 weeks

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 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 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 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.
