New stool test aims to improve colorectal cancer detection
NCT ID NCT04693546
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aims to see how well a new stool test, called LifeKit Prevent, can detect colorectal cancer and precancerous growths (adenomas). About 12,000 adults aged 40 and older scheduled for a screening colonoscopy will provide a stool sample for the test. The results will be compared to colonoscopy findings and the standard FIT stool test to measure accuracy.

- Active substance
- LifeKit Prevent Colorectal Neoplasia Test (stool-based diagnostic test)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a more accurate, non-invasive screening option for colorectal cancer and precancerous growths.
- What could go wrong
- The trial is currently suspended, and results are pending. The test may not prove accurate enough to replace current screening methods.
