LYNCH SYNDROME

This study tests whether an artificial intelligence system called CAD-EYE can detect precancerous polyps during colonoscopy in people with Lynch syndrome, a genetic condition that raises colon cancer risk. The AI is compared to the current best method, dye-spray chromoendoscopy, …

This study looks at whether a menstrual cup can collect enough uterine tissue to screen for endometrial cancer, especially in women with Lynch syndrome who are at higher risk. About 25 participants will use a menstrual cup at home and also have a standard biopsy, then compare the…

This study is testing a new stool DNA test (mt-sDNA 2.0) to see how well it detects colorectal cancer or advanced growths in people with Lynch syndrome, a genetic condition that raises cancer risk. Researchers will collect blood and stool samples from 950 participants and compare…

This study is testing whether a fecal immunochemical test (FIT), which checks for blood in the stool, can accurately detect colorectal cancer in people with Lynch Syndrome. Lynch Syndrome increases the risk of colorectal cancer, and patients currently need regular colonoscopies. …

This study is testing a blood test (called a liquid biopsy) to see if it can find colorectal cancer, pre-cancerous growths (adenomas), and cancers linked to Lynch syndrome at an early stage. Researchers will enroll 1,200 people who have already had a colonoscopy. The goal is to s…

This pilot study tests a new device called the Retro-TCE capsule, which is a small camera attached to a string that is inserted into the lower gut to take pictures without needing sedation. The study will enroll 30 people, including healthy volunteers and those with Lynch syndrom…

This study is testing a new blood test that looks for DNA fragments from tumors in people with hereditary cancer syndromes like Lynch syndrome or BRCA mutations. The goal is to see if the test can find cancers earlier than standard screening methods. Researchers will compare canc…

This study is testing whether a urine test that looks for tumor DNA can find bladder and urinary tract cancers early in people with Lynch syndrome, a genetic condition that raises cancer risk. About 200 participants aged 50–75 will provide urine samples and be followed for one ye…

This Phase 3 study is testing whether markers in pancreatic fluid and blood can detect early pancreas cancer in people with high genetic risk. Participants receive a secretin injection to collect fluid during an endoscopy. The goal is to improve early detection in those with here…

This study tests whether naproxen or aspirin can increase immune cells in the colon to prevent cancer in people with Lynch syndrome, a genetic condition that raises cancer risk. About 40 participants will take one of these drugs or a placebo for a short time. Researchers will mea…

This study tests whether a smartphone app, combined with nutrition education, can help people at high risk for cancer eat healthier and reduce their cancer risk. About 170 participants will either get the app or standard advice, and researchers will measure changes in diet qualit…

This early-stage trial tests a personalized vaccine made from a person's own immune cells (dendritic cells) loaded with unique proteins found in Lynch syndrome-related cancers. The goal is to train the immune system to recognize and attack precancerous cells, potentially preventi…

This study is building a huge registry of information and biological samples from adults with or at risk for many types of cancer, as well as healthy volunteers. Researchers will use this resource to study what causes cancer and how to better prevent, detect, and treat it. The re…

This study aims to find out how often Muir-Torre syndrome (MTS) occurs in people who already have Lynch syndrome, a genetic condition that raises cancer risk. Researchers will examine skin lesions and tumors from 150 participants to see if they are linked to MTS. The goal is to b…

This study aims to discover new genes that may cause certain cancers to run in families. Researchers will collect blood samples and health information from 1,500 people in families where multiple members have had cancer, especially childhood cancers. The goal is to build a regist…

This study looks at families in Switzerland who carry genes that raise the risk of breast, ovarian, colorectal, or endometrial cancers. Researchers will survey both the person with the gene mutation and their close relatives to understand how many get tested and what barriers the…

This study compares genetic counselling done by video (telegenetics) with traditional in-person sessions for people at risk of hereditary breast, ovarian, or colorectal cancer. Researchers will measure how well patients understand their options, their emotional responses, and the…

This study looks at 300 people with Lynch syndrome, a genetic condition that raises the risk of colorectal cancer. Researchers want to understand why some patients still develop cancer even with regular check-ups. They will analyze blood, gut bacteria, and hair samples to find cl…

This study is testing whether a swallowed video capsule (a pill-sized camera) can help find small bowel cancer early in people with Lynch syndrome, a genetic condition that raises cancer risk. About 100 participants will swallow a capsule every two years to take pictures of their…

This study reviews past medical records of 400 people with Lynch syndrome who had a small bowel capsule endoscopy (a pill-sized camera) to screen for pre-cancerous growths or cancer in the small intestine. The goal is to see how well this camera test finds these lesions compared …

This study offers free genetic testing to the general public to identify people with inherited cancer syndromes like hereditary breast and ovarian cancer or Lynch syndrome. Researchers aim to see if broad testing is more effective than only testing those with a family history. Up…

This study aims to create a large collection of blood samples from 2,500 people with or at high risk for cancer. Researchers will use these samples to study liquid biopsies, which are blood tests that may help detect cancer, track treatment response, and spot recurrence. Particip…

This study explores whether people with Lynch syndrome can use a self-collected vaginal swab at home to detect early signs of uterine cancer. Researchers will enroll 30 participants who will collect samples and answer surveys. The main goal is to see if this approach is practical…
