Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary objective is to confirm the specificity of a multi-target stool DNA test (mt-sDNA), Cologuard, in an average risk population, ages 45-49.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Subjects aged 45-49 at average risk for development of CRC will be enrolled. Subjects will complete the mt-sDNA screening test (Cologuard) followed by completion of a screening colonoscopy. The results of the mt-sDNA screening test (Cologuard) will not be provided to investigators for clinical management of study subjects. Personnel performing the colonoscopy and producing the resulting report and personnel performing histopathological review of tissue (if applicable) will remain blinded to the results of the mt-sDNA screening test (Cologuard) result.
