NCT ID NCT06100549
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether leftover samples from Scotland's national bowel screening program could be used to study gut bacteria. Researchers collected fresh stool samples from 116 healthy adults and compared them to samples stored in screening kits. The goal was to see if the stored samples still contain usable bacterial DNA, which could help answer questions about cancer, obesity, and other diseases in the future.
