Looking for a new blood test to find colorectal cancer early
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial is testing if a protein called MMP-14 in small blood particles (exosomes) can help detect colorectal cancer. If you are having a colonoscopy because of a positive stool test, you may be able to join and help researchers learn more about this possible new marker.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a positive stool test (FIT) and are scheduled for a colonoscopy under general anesthesia.
- You are 18 or older and have health insurance.
- You have not had another cancer in the last 5 years (except treated cervical or skin cancer).
- You are not currently getting chemotherapy.
- You have signed a consent form to join the study.
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

This study measures “minimal residual disease,” meaning tiny amounts of cancer that may remain after surgery, using blood samples. It may help doctors better detect who is at higher risk of cancer coming back and guide follow-up care.
This study checks whether a blood test can help identify colorectal cancer or precancerous growths. You would have a planned colonoscopy, and researchers compare the blood test results to what the colonoscopy finds.
This trial studies a blood test to find early bowel (colon) tumors. It may help detect cancer earlier and avoid more invasive procedures.
This study is testing a new blood test to find colorectal cancer early. You may be able to join if you are about to have a colonoscopy or surgery for a suspected tumor.
This study looks at special tiny cell-signal particles (called exosomes) and related pathways to understand colorectal cancer. Your results from samples may help researchers learn how these signals relate to the disease after surgery.
This study checks stool samples to see how well stool tests can detect early colon cancer and precancerous growths called adenomas. If you qualify, you’ll collect stool samples for a lab test (FIT) and sometimes this helps sort who should get follow-up testing.
