NCT02567045

Brief Summary

This is a multicenter, controlled, randomized phase III study to compare participation rate with two screening rounds of fecal occult blood test (FIT) versus one-time screening colonoscopy in first degree relatives (FDR) of patients diagnosed of colorectal cancer (CRC). The hypothesis of the study is that annual FIT uptake and colonoscopy when a positive test is higher than that of straightforward colonoscopy. Assuming an uptake of 0.50 for colonoscopy and 0.60 for FIT, a Type I error (alpha) of 5% and a power of 90%, 538 FDRs will be necessary to include in each group.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Proportion of patients who participate in each screening arm

    2 years

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Efficacy measure: QALYs (Quality adjusted life years).

    2 years

  • Costs measure: cost (euros) of the procedures associated with each screening strategy and treatment of advanced neoplastic lesions

Study Arms (2)

Fecal occult blood testing

EXPERIMENTAL

Annual FIT and colonoscopy in case of a positive test. Fecal occult blood testing: annual FIT (two rounds) without diet restriction, one stool sample. Positive cut-off = 10 μg Hemoglobin/g feces. Colonoscopy will be performed in case of a positive FIT.

Procedure: annual FIT and colonoscopy in case of a positive testProcedure: colonoscopy with sedation

one-time Colonoscopy

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

One-time Colonoscopy with sedation

Procedure: colonoscopy with sedation

Interventions

FIT and colonoscopy in case of a positive test. Annual interval (2 rounds), without diet restriction, 1 stool sample. Positive cut-off 10 mcg Hemoglobin/g feces.

Fecal occult blood testing

One-time Colonoscopy with sedation.
