NCT00855348

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to collect blood specimens and clinical data from screening guideline eligible individuals designated by their physician to receive a screening colonoscopy, and to evaluate the performance of a colorectal cancer-specific DNA methylation biomarker for detection of colorectal cancer in this cohort. Based on the outcome of the colonoscopy, polypectomy, biopsy and surgical tissue histopathology, the clinical utility of Septin 9 as colorectal cancer screening test will be evaluated.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Clinical/surgical diagnosis of invasive colorectal adenocarcinoma detected by optical colonoscopy and confirmed by histology compared to the Septin 9 Biomarker classification.

    One Year

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Detection of adenomatous polyp(s) equal to or greater than 10 mm, flat lesion (s) or non-invasive adenocarcinoma by colonoscopy and confirmed by histology compared to the Septin 9 Biomarker classification will also be described.

    One Year

Study Arms (1)

Adults > 50 Years Scheduled for Colonscopy

Average to increased risk adults older than 50 years without symptoms indicative of CRC and designated for colonoscopy.

Other: All eligible subjects will provide blood for SEPT9 biomarker testing

Interventions

A single blood sample per participant selected according to analysis plan is tested for evidence of methylation of a specific DNA sequence, SEPT9.

Also known as: biomarker, blood, colorectal cancer, DNA methylation
Adults > 50 Years Scheduled for Colonscopy

Eligibility Criteria

Age50 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

The study will be conducted in Subjects scheduled for screening colonoscopy according to current U.S. CRC screening guidelines.

You may qualify if:

  • Informed Consent provided
  • Capable of providing adequate health history
  • Age 50 or older at time of colonoscopy (colorectal screening guideline eligible)
  • Accessible for blood draw prior to start of bowel preparation for colonoscopy
  • First large bowel endoscopy in lifetime

You may not qualify if:

  • Anorectal bleeding or hematochezia within last 6 months for which patient sought medical attention
  • Known iron deficiency anemia in the last 6 months for which patient sought medical attention
  • Previous history of colorectal polyps or CRC
  • High risk for colorectal cancer (2 or more 10 relatives with CRC; 1 or more 10 relative(s) \< 50 years with CRC; known HNPCC or FAP)
