What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

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.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Diagnosis of a Hereditary Cancer Syndrome by positive genetic testing and/or clinical criteria to undergo an endoscopy procedure (esophagoduodenoscopy and/or colonoscopy/flexible sigmoidoscopy), or endometrial screening procedure (transvaginal ultrasound and/or hysteroscopy and/or endometrial biopsy), OR 2. Individuals coming to Weill-Cornell Medicine/NYPH to undergo an endoscopy procedure, transvaginal ultrasound, or hysteroscopy for average-risk (population-based) recommendation OR 3. Individuals diagnosed with colorectal cancer or endometrial cancer coming to Weill- Cornell Medicine/NYPH for surgical treatment OR 4. Individuals coming to Weill-Cornell Medicine/NYPH for care such as, but not limited to, diagnostic testing, clinic and/or treatment visit. 3. Willingness and ability to sign informed consent. 4.
