ULTRA-SAFE: More frequent monitoring after advanced polyps
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares a new, more frequent surveillance schedule (yearly stool tests and colonoscopies every 2 years) to the standard schedule for people who have had advanced polyps removed. It aims to see if the extra testing helps prevent future colon cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 75 years old.
- Your last colonoscopy found and removed at least two advanced polyps (adenomas).
- You are willing to follow the study plan, which includes taking a stool test (FIT) every year and having follow-up colonoscopies.
- You do not have inflammatory bowel disease, a hereditary colon cancer syndrome, or a history of colorectal cancer.
- You are not pregnant.

This trial compares using a simple stool test (FIT) versus a repeat colonoscopy to check for new polyps in people who have already had an advanced adenoma removed. It aims to see if the stool test is a safe and effective alternative for routine follow-up.
This trial tests whether a computer-aided detection (CAD) system helps doctors find more advanced polyps during screening colonoscopies, potentially reducing the risk of these polyps turning into cancer over three years. If you are undergoing a screening colonoscopy, this study may help improve early detection and prevention.
This trial tests a new stool-based screening test that may find colorectal cancer and advanced adenomas (precancerous growths) early. It studies whether the test works well compared with the standard colonoscopy, so it could offer an easier, less invasive screening option in the future.
This study compares two ways to check for colon polyps in older adults: using a stool test versus having a colonoscopy. It may help find a simpler option if you only had a small number of lower-risk polyps before.
This trial tests whether a stool blood test can help decide who truly needs a follow-up colonoscopy after prior colon polyps. It may reduce unnecessary colonoscopies while still catching concerning changes early.
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.
