Validation and Comparison of Biomarkers for the Early Detection of Colorectal Adenocarcinoma


5.0 STUDY DESIGN 5.1 Subject Recruitment The clinical research associate or study nurse
(hereafter "CRA") at each clinical site will identify subjects with appointments for
screening colonoscopy via IRB-approved HIPAA-compliant site-specific methods (Appendix
B-tailored to each site). Recruitment methods could include letters from the primary care
physicians and gastroenterologists, direct referrals to the study team by physicians,
in-clinic recruitment advertisements, and presentations. Interested subjects will be asked
to participate in a baseline visit prior to initiation of colonoscopy preparative
procedures, either at the local Center or during a visit to the subject's home by a CRA.
Advertisements (e.g., newspapers, AARP Magazine, Clinicaltrials.gov) may also be used to
recruit subjects from the surrounding communities.


Inclusion Criteria:



- Adults 50-80 and undergoing a colonoscopy defined as:

- First time screening or a surveillance procedure

- No complete colon exam (colonoscopy or CT colonography) within 3 years except
as noted. (see section 5.4.1)

- Willing to sign informed consent

- Able to physically tolerate removal of 34ml of blood

- Willing to collect 2 stool samples

Exclusion Criteria:

- Inability to provide informed consent

- History of Inflammatory Bowel Disease

- Overt rectal bleeding within 1 month (30 days) (including due to suspected
hemorrhoids)

- Positive guaiac-based occult blood or fecal immunochemical test (e.g. FOBT, FIT) in
the past 12 months (365 days)

- Undergone resection of the colon for any indication

- Subjects with known HIV or chronic viral hepatitis (Hepatitis B and C)

- Subjects with known or suspected HNPCC (Lynch Syndrome) or FAP

- Any cancer within 5 years of enrollment except any of the following:

- Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or Basal cell carcinoma of the skin

- Carcinoma in situ of the cervix, Stages Ia or Ib invasive squamous cell
carcinoma of the cervix treated by surgery only. (Excluded if had pelvic
radiation)

- Stage , 0, I or Ia Grade 1 adenocarcinoma of the endometrium treated with
surgery

Type of Study:

Observational

Study Design:

Observational Model: Case Control, Time Perspective: Prospective

Outcome Measure:

Compare biomarkers to colonoscopy as a predictor of CRC risk

Outcome Description:

To validate various biomarkers (stool, blood, urine, FIT) as predictive tools for assessing risk of CRC. Ultimately, these markers may increasing screening and compliance with screening recommendations of CRC by triaging those at higher risk of CRC by thesenon-invasive markers. Those at higher risk of CRC based on biomarker results would be referred for colonoscopy. The assumption is that compliance with colonoscopy would increase if biomarkers suggested an increased risk.
