Brief Summary

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

This study collects blood and stool samples from patients with suspected or diagnosed Lynch syndrome to evaluate a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) screening technique for the detection of colorectal cancer in Lynch syndrome patients.

Detailed Description

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

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To determine the sensitivity and specificity of the multitarget stool DNA (mt-sDNA) 2.0 test, for colorectal neoplasia in patients with Lynch syndrome.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:

I. Develop a biorepository of samples (stool and blood) from patients with Lynch syndrome and early onset (\< 50 years old) colorectal cancer.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo collection of blood and stool samples no more than 90 days prior to or between 7-90 days after standard of care colonoscopy or flexible sigmoidoscopy. Patients' medical records are also reviewed.

* Colonoscopy/flexible sigmoidoscopy (flex sig) scheduled +/- 90 days from sample collection
* Patient has agreed to participate and has signed the study consent form

Exclusion Criteria

* Patient has known cancer (stage I-IV) 5 years prior to current sample collection (not including basal cell or squamous cell skin cancers; if patient has not been seen or if information is not available, the patient is eligible)

* Patient has had any abdominal radiation therapy prior to current sample collection
* Patient had therapy to the target lesion with intent to completely remove or debulk the lesion prior to sample collection \[examples include snare polypectomy, endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), surgical resection, trans anal excision\]
* Patient has prior diagnosis of non-lynch hereditary colon cancer syndrome \[familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), MUTYH-associated polyposis (MAP), Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS), juvenile polyposis syndrome (JPS), PTEN, POL\]
* ADDITIONAL STOOL EXCLUSIONS:
* Bowel prep \< 7 days prior to stool collection
* Oral or rectal contrast given within 7 days prior to stool collection
* Removal of more than 50% of colon or presence of ileostomy
* Enteral feeds or total parenteral nutrition (TPN)
* Diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease
