Study summary

The FIND-CRC study is a prospective collection of samples and data from participants who are at average risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC). Collected samples and data will be analyzed to evaluate the clinical performance of the Natera CRC Screening Test.

Read the detailed description

Participants who meet study inclusion criteria will be invited to enroll in the study and will provide written consent prior to study procedures. Participants will provide blood samples and will be required to have a colonoscopy performed within 120 days of their blood draw. No test results from the blood collection will be provided to participants or clinicians.

Study population

Participants 40 years of age or older who are at average risk of colorectal cancer and scheduled for a screening colonoscopy as part of their standard of care.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Signed .
  2. 40 years of age or older at the time of consent.
  3. Planning or intending to undergo a standard of care colonoscopy.
  4. Able to tolerate venipuncture for research draw(s).
  5. Able and willing to provide blood samples within the 120 days prior to a standard-of-care pre-bowel preparation procedure and colonoscopy procedure.
  6. Willing and able to comply with the study visit schedule and study requirements.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Any prior history of any kind of (exception: participants who have undergone surgical removal of skin squamous cell or basal cell cancers may be enrolled, provided the procedure was completed at least 12 months prior to consent for the study).
  2. Had a complete colonoscopy with adequate bowel preparation in the previous nine (9) years.
  3. Undergoing diagnostic colonoscopy for the investigation of symptoms.
  4. Up to date with colorectal cancer screening from any non-invasive test.
  5. Precancerous findings on most recent colonoscopy.
  6. Had a prior colorectal resection for any reason other than sigmoid diverticular disease.
  7. Known personal history of any of the following high-risk conditions:

7a. Inflammatory bowel disease. 7b. Known hereditary condition that would increase risk of colorectal cancer (example Lynch Syndrome).

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Primary Outcome

    The primary outcomes of this study are sensitivity of the Natera CRC Screening Test for the detection of colorectal cancer (CRC) and specificity of the test for advanced neoplasia (AN), as assessed by agreement of the Natera CRC Screening test with colonoscopy findings.

    Time frame: 24 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Secondary Outcomes

    The secondary outcomes of this study are sensitivity and specificity of the Natera CRC Screening Test for the detection of Advanced Precancerous Lesions (APL) and specificity of the test for Negative findings, as assessed by agreement of the Natera CRC Screening test with colonoscopy findings.

    Time frame: 24 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

Started May 2025 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Jul 2027, 25 months after the start.

Of 224 observational studies under Colonic Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 50 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 27 and three quarters within 116. This study's planned 25 months is below that.

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 Dec 12, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
