Study summary

The primary objective is to determine the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of the newly developed liquid biopsy based multiomics Colorectal Cancer (CRC) screening test (CRC-Appareo) for detecting advanced neoplasia (including colorectal cancer and advanced adenomas) in high risk patients and patients with confirmed CRC, using colonoscopy as the reference method. The secondary objective is to compare the screening performance of the multiomics Colorectal Cancer (CRC) screening test with commercially available FIT (Fecal Immunochemical Test) assay in detecting advanced neoplasia.

Read the detailed description

The study will be carried out in 5 hospitals throughout China. Patients who are at high risk of developing CRC or confirmed CRC and willing to conduct colonoscopy examination will be asked to collect blood prior to bowl preparation for multiomics CRC screening test which using Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing (RRBS) technology to obtain multidimensional variation information on cell-free DNA (cfDNA) methylation, end sequence, fragment size distribution, and copy number variation in the blood, and integrate analysis through machine learning algorithms to accurately assess the risk of colorectal cancer and advanced adenoma. and will be asked to collect stool sample for commercially available FIT assay. Colonoscopy and histopathologic examination are used as reference. The diagnosis information of each sample was blind to the participants who conduct the multiomics profiling, as well as the informatics who perform the integrate analysis.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Sensitivity and specificity of the multiomics Colorectal Cancer (CRC) screening test (CRC-Appareo) with comparison to colonoscopy

    A diagnostic colonoscopy procedure is the reference method. Lesions will be confirmed as malignant by histopathologic examination. The Reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS) technology to obtain multidimensional variation information on cell-free DNA (cfDNA) methylation, end sequence, fragment size distribution, and copy number variation in the blood, and integrate analysis through machine learning algorithms to accurately assess the risk of colorectal cancer and advanced adenoma. The tests were processed independently of colonoscopy procedure, which was blind to investigators who perform the multiomics profiling and integrate data analysis.

    Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 6 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Sensitivity of the multiomics Colorectal Cancer (CRC) screening test (CRC-Appareo) with comparison to FIT, with respect to advanced adenoma (AA) and CRC

    A diagnostic colonoscopy procedure is the reference method. Lesions will be confirmed as malignant by histopathologic examination. The the multiomics Colorectal Cancer (CRC) screening test (CRC-Appareo) and FIT test were performed on the blood and stool sample of the same patient.

    Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 6 months

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Feb 2024; primary completion for Aug 2024, 6 months later.

Of 528 non-industry observational studies under Colorectal Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 56 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 27 and three quarters within 132. This study's planned 6 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 645 studies reached it within 51 months; a quarter within 27 and three quarters within 104.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Feb 14, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
