NCT ID NCT06096688
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study collects tissue samples, medical data, and family histories from over 1,100 people being screened for colorectal or endometrial cancer. Researchers hope to discover new genes and mechanisms that increase cancer risk, especially in hereditary cancer syndromes. The goal is to find new targets for future treatments and prevention strategies.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could identify new genetic targets for therapies and prevention strategies for colorectal and endometrial cancers.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study that collects data for future research, so it does not directly test any treatment. The findings may not lead to immediate clinical applications.
