New study aims to boost timely colonoscopies and prevent colon cancer in High-Risk patients
NCT ID NCT06376565
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a program that uses reminders, scheduling help, and electronic health record tools to encourage patients with high-risk colon polyps to get a follow-up colonoscopy within 3 years. About 1,680 patients and their healthcare providers will take part. The goal is to see if these system-level changes can increase the number of people who complete the recommended surveillance, which could help prevent colorectal cancer.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Multilevel health system intervention (clinic reminders, EHR tools, scheduling support)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a practical, scalable way to ensure more people with high-risk polyps get their recommended follow-up colonoscopy on time, potentially reducing colorectal cancer cases.
- What could go wrong
- This is a behavioral and system-level study, not a drug trial. Success depends on clinic and patient participation, and results may vary across different healthcare settings. It won't directly treat or cure cancer.
