NCT ID NCT07398456

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study will enroll 5,500 average-risk adults in Texas to see if offering a blood test for colorectal cancer, along with an educational smartphone app, increases screening rates. Participants can choose the blood test, and some will get the app to help them follow up. The goal is to understand if this approach makes screening more acceptable and leads to more people completing recommended follow-up tests.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Blood-based screening test (BBST) and educational smartphone app

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that a simple blood test and app reminders make colorectal cancer screening easier and more acceptable, potentially catching cancer earlier.

What could go wrong

This is an early implementation study, not testing a new treatment. It may not prove that the blood test reduces cancer deaths, and results may not apply to other populations.
