AI may catch precancerous polyps from simple blood tests
NCT ID NCT07793110
First seen Aug 28, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether an artificial intelligence model can use routine laboratory results and patient information to identify people at high risk for colorectal adenomas, which are precancerous polyps. The researchers will collect data from 400 adults undergoing colonoscopy and use it to build and validate the model. If successful, this approach could offer a convenient, low-cost way to flag who needs a colonoscopy, potentially catching polyps earlier and preventing colorectal cancer.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- No active intervention; observational study using routine lab and demographic data to build an AI prediction model
- What this could lead to
- If the model works, it could offer a simple, non-invasive way to flag people at high risk for colorectal adenomas, helping them get colonoscopies earlier and potentially preventing colorectal cancer.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early, observational study. The model may not be accurate enough in real-world settings, and it won't replace colonoscopy, which remains the gold standard for diagnosis.

Who is studied
This study enrolls adult patients aged ≥18 years who undergo colonoscopy. Subjects have pathologically confirmed diagnoses of colorectal adenoma or non-adenomatous colorectal lesions. Participants are capable of understanding and signing informed consent and can fully cooperate to complete all study-related procedures. Patients with unavailable laboratory data, other malignant lesions, autoimmune diseases, repeated enrollment records, pregnancy or lactation status will be excluded.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients aged ≥ 18 years undergoing colonoscopy, with pathologically confirmed diagnosis of colorectal adenoma or non-adenomatous lesions (e.g., inflammatory polyps, hyperplastic polyps, chronic inflammation, etc.); * Capable of reading, understanding and signing the informed consent form; * The investigator judges that the subject can understand the procedures of this clinical study, and is willing and able to cooperate with and complete all study procedures. Exclusion Criteria: * Unavailable clinical data including laboratory test results; * Neoplastic lesions other than colorectal adenoma; * Non-first diagnosis of colorectal adenoma; * Autoimmune diseases; * Repeated enrolled subjects (duplicate patients); * Pregnancy or breastfeeding status; * Failure to obtain informed consent; * The investigator considers that the subject has high-risk diseases or other special conditions unsuitable for participating in this clinical trial.
