Brief Summary

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

The aim of this study is to determine accuracy and predictive values for colorectal cancer of a faecal quantitative immunochemical test (FIT) in unselected symptomatic patients presenting in primary care. Main reference test will be linkage to a nationwide colorectal cancer registry.

Detailed Description

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

This is a nationwide multi-centre study in primary care, Sweden. Patients from the age of 40 years and above presenting in primary care with symptoms associated with colorectal cancer prompting their GP to take actions are eligible.

Consenting patients will fill out a short form on symptoms during last 4 weeks. They will provide 2 faecal samples from 2 different days. Samples will be analysed at any of three laboratories within 5 days using QuikRead go® (Aidian Oy). The analytical working range is 10-200 µg Hb/g faeces. The outcome will be reported as the concentration of first test (FIT 1) and highest concentration of two tests (FIT max). The outcome of the study FIT will remain within the study and GPs must request a separate FOBT for clinical purposes.

Reference test will be linkage to the Swedish Colorectal Cancer Registry (with in practice complete coverage) after at most 2 years for all patients. Accuracy and predictive values will be determined and ROC-curves analysed.

Some patients included in the study will be referred for colonoscopy for clinical reasons, and the outcome of FIT in relation to colonoscopy findings will be reported for this group as well.
