Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 45 to 80 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients at average risk of developing colorectal cancer, scheduled for colonoscopy.

Who may be able to join

  • Male or female,
  • Age: 45-80 years,
  • Patients undergoing polyp surveillance or screening colonoscopy who are ASA Class 1-3. No ASA Class 4 or 5 will be included.Footnote
  • All ethnic and racial groups will be included,
  • Able to comprehend, sign, and date the written informed consent form (ICF),
  • Able to give informed consent in English.

Who cannot join

  • History of Inflammatory Bowel Disease
  • Inability to schedule the colonoscopy within 60 days of the initial stool sample
  • Colonic pathology that in the opinion of the endoscopist could interfere with the accuracy of the colonoscopy. Examples include: colonic stricture, poor preparation, obstructing tumor.
  • ASA class 4 or greater
  • Vulnerable subjects. Students, nursing home residents, institutionalized patients, and those with psychological or physical incapacity.

About this study

Official title: Metabiomics Neoplasia Clinical Research Study

The purpose if this study is to measure the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the Metabiomics Colon Polyp and Colorectal Cancer Assay for the non-invasive detection of colon polyps or colorectal cancer.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to conduct clinical research to investigate the association of the gut microbiome with colonic neoplasia. In this study patients will supply samples of their gut microbiome prior to scheduled colonoscopy; the relative abundance of microbes from those samples will be used to predict the presence or absence of colon polyps or colorectal cancer. Microbiome based predictions from blinded samples will be compared with colonoscopy and pathology results to quantify the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy (reported as %) of the Metabiomics Colon Polyp and Colorectal Cancer Assay for colon polyps. The limited sample size is anticipated to be insufficient to quantify sensitivity to colorectal cancer.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Performance of Metabiomics Colon Polyp and Colorectal Cancer Assay

    Microbiome based predictions from at least 100 blinded samples will be compared with colonoscopy and pathology results to quantify the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy (reported as %) of the Metabiomics Colon Polyp and Colorectal Cancer Assay for colon polyps. The limited sample size is anticipated to be insufficient to quantify sensitivity to colorectal cancer.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colorectal Neoplasms and Colorectal Cancer, run by Metabiomics Corp at 2 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Performance of Metabiomics Colon Polyp and Colorectal Cancer Assay (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Mar 2017.
