Blood thinners and stool blood test study
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how often a stool test for hidden blood becomes positive in people who are taking blood thinners. It may help doctors understand how these medicines affect the test results.

This study collects information from patients who come to the emergency room with gastrointestinal bleeding while taking certain newer blood thinners. It aims to better understand and manage this type of bleeding.
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.
This Swiss study looks at people with unexplained bleeding by using a standardized bleeding score and taking a blood sample. It may help researchers better understand possible bleeding causes even when the reason isn’t clear yet.
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.
This study looks at blood problems in people who have angiodysplasia, which are abnormal blood vessels in the gut that can bleed. It may help doctors understand why these vessels bleed and how to better treat them.
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.
