NCT ID NCT07153458

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This observational study is looking for new substances in the blood that could signal colorectal cancer (CRC) or pre-cancerous growths. Researchers will compare blood samples from 60 people: those with CRC, those with a pre-cancerous polyp, and healthy individuals. The goal is to create a scoring system that could predict or diagnose CRC without invasive procedures.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a simple blood test to detect colorectal cancer earlier or predict its development.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early observational study, not a treatment trial. The biomarkers identified may not prove accurate enough for clinical use.
