About this study

Official title: A Multicenter Clinical Trial for the Comparison Among Fecal Immunochemical Test, Stool DNA Test and Blood mRNA Test in Chinese Colorectal Cancer Screening

The primary objective is to determine the sensitivity and specificity of two Colorectal Cancer (CRC) screening methods, including stool DNA test and blood mRNA test, for colorectal cancer in Chinese population, with colonoscopy as reference method. Lesions will be confirmed as malignant or precancerous by colonoscopy and histopathologic examination.

The secondary objective is to compare the performance of these two CRC screening methods to a commercially available FIT assay, both with respect to cancer and advanced adenoma. Lesions will be confirmed as malignant or precancerous by colonoscopy and histopathologic examination.

Read the detailed description

Participants who are at high risk of developing colorectal cancer will be asked to collect two stool samples one for the stool DNA test and the other for the commercially available FIT assay, and a single blood sample for the blood mRNA test. Subjects will undergo colonoscopy within 6 months of enrollment. Representative histopathology slides from tissue biopsied or excised during colonoscopy and those from subsequent definitive surgery may be retrieved in order to be evaluated by pathologists to confirm the diagnosis and staging.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Stool DNA testDiagnostic test

    Also called Blood mRNA test, FIT Assay

    Stool DNA test could detect specific gene methylation in stool DNA. Blood mRNA test could detect specific set of gene expression in blood.

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 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 May 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Hongzhi Zou, MD, PhD (86-020-82510982, zouhongzhi@creativebio.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Sensitivity and Specificity of Multiple Screening Methods With Comparison to Colonoscopy, Both With Respect to Cancer. (time frame: 6 months). 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?
