Gastrointestinal Biomarkers in Tissue and Biological Fluid Samples From Colorectal Cancer Patients

Research Study on Gastrointestinal Biomarkers in Colorectal Cancer

Recruiting
18 years and older
All
Phase N/A

This study investigates gastrointestinal biomarkers in patients with colorectal cancer. It involves collecting tissue and biological fluid samples from these patients and healthy volunteers undergoing procedures like colonoscopy or endoscopy.

The study evaluates the potential of these biomarkers to identify increased cancer risk. It looks at substances found in tissue and biofluid samples to develop new screening strategies.

  • Who can participate: Participants must be undergoing colonoscopy or endoscopy for diagnostic or screening purposes and have a history of gastrointestinal cancer, polyps, or inflammatory bowel disease.
  • Study details: Participants will provide tissue and biofluid samples during procedures like colonoscopy or endoscopy, which will be analyzed for tumor markers using proteomic methods.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
