NCT ID NCT06880055
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how well the Shield blood test finds colorectal cancer and advanced growths in people aged 45 to 81 who are at average risk. About 3,375 participants will take the test and then have a colonoscopy to compare results. The goal is to see if the blood test works well for a second round of screening.
