Trial summary
The objective of this low-risk interventional study is to evaluate whether the PreveCol® test has sufficient efficiency to be considered as a second-line method for the detection of both colorectal cancer and advanced adenomas when used prospectively in the screening population with a previous positive FOBT result… Read more about this study

About this study
The objective of this low-risk interventional study is to evaluate whether the PreveCol® test has sufficient efficiency to be considered as a second-line method for the detection of both colorectal cancer and advanced adenomas when used prospectively in the screening population with a previous positive FOBT result, which could include any of the following: both sexes, age 50-69 years, asympthomatic volunteers. The main aims to be answered are:
- Values of efficacy, efficiency, impact and safety of PreveCol.
- Values of preferences of participants for screening methods.
- Values of PREMs into screening programme.
Participants will provide a blood sample prior to a screening colonoscopy, and complete two questionnaires. They will give their sample, information and clinical data to the investigator or health care personnel.
- Conditions
- Screening for Colon Cancer, Blood Samples, Survey and Questionnaire, Colorectal Carcinoma, Colon Adenocarcinoma, Precancerous Lesion of Colon
- Being tested
- blood sampling, Survey using a questionnaire.
- Keywords

Diagnostic performance of cancer
Value of PreveCol's efficiency in second line for detecting cancer
Measured: 12 months
Diagnostic performance of lesions
Value of PreveCol's efficiency in second line for advanced lesions
Measured: 12 months
Value of questionnaires into screening programme
The percentage of number of answers from each preference questions and PREMs
