Endocuff + GI Genius for Colon Cancer Detection
Huntington, West Virginia
Despite the widespread use of colonoscopy, the ongoing challenge of potentially missing polyps remains. Previous studies have independently shown that both Endocuff, a colonoscope attachment device for polyp detection, and Computer-Aided Detection (CADe) systems have individually demonstrated enhanced lesion detection and safety. This study seeks to evaluate the efficacy of combining the Endocuff CADe versus using CADe alone in colonoscopy procedures for colorectal cancer screening and surveillance. This research project aims to ascertain whether the synergistic application of these technologies yields superior outcomes.

Early Detection Test for Cancer
Cleveland, Ohio
This trial is testing a new blood test called the GRAIL MCED test, which aims to detect multiple types of cancer early. GRAIL, a company formed by DNA-sequencing giant Illumina, is developing the GRAIL MCED test to detect multiple cancer types early. It targets people who are already recommended for cancer screening. The test works by looking for cancer-related DNA in the blood, and if found, further tests are done to confirm and locate the cancer.

MRI vs. Ultrasound Screening for Liver Cancer
Cleveland, Ohio
The study is a randomized trial of two different screening methods for early detection of liver cancer in patients with cirrhosis of the liver. The goal of PREMIUM is to compare an abbreviated version of the diagnostic gold standard for HCC (aMRI) +AFP to the standard-of-care screening (US+AFP) in patients at high risk of developing HCC. The investigators hypothesize that HCC will be detected at earlier stages, allowing for more curative treatments and resulting in a reduction in HCC-related mortality.

EHR-Nudges for Breast Cancer Screening
Cleveland, Ohio
In this study, personalized nudges to clinicians and patients will be evaluated to help increase breast cancer screening rates in accordance with USPSTF guidelines among women with a primary care visit, with a particular emphasis on those at high risk for non-completion of cancer screening. In partnership with Penn Medicine (Penn) and Case Western Reserve University-University Hospitals (UH), two complementary, concurrent, 6-month, cluster-randomized, pragmatic trials will be conducted. Those assigned to the intervention arm will receive the following clinician and patient level nudge interventions: clinicians will receive a default pended order for a mammogram in the visit encounter in the EHR (Penn and UH), and patients will receive post-visit text message reminders to encourage them to schedule their mammogram (Penn). Patients identified as high risk for noncompletion will be individually randomized to receive an additional bidirectional text message nudge or the standard text messaging (Penn).

Nonendoscopic Screening for Barrett's Esophagus
Cleveland, Ohio
The veteran population is at increased risk for EAC and its precursor lesion, Barrett's esophagus (BE), due to increased prevalence of disease risk factors compared to the general population. BE is traditionally diagnosed only when patients undergo endoscopy with biopsies. However, due to the high cost of endoscopy and the lack of studies proving efficacy of screening, endoscopy to screen for BE is not routinely recommended. A simpler screening procedure similar to a pap smear would be an ideal way to sample the esophageal tissue for cancer and its precursor condition, BE. This study proposes a non-endoscopic detection method administered in outpatient offices which would increase subsequent endoscopic detection of BE. The study team will be enrolling veterans who do not have history of gastroesophageal reflux but have multiple risk factors for esophageal adenocarcinoma.

Prediction Models for Lung Cancer Screening
Ann Arbor, Michigan
Lung cancer is responsible for more deaths in the United States than breast, prostate and colon cancer combined and is the number one cancer killer of Veterans. This is because lung cancer is usually diagnosed when the disease has spread, and cure is less likely. Lung cancer screening (LCS) finds cancer at an earlier stage when it is curable, yet only 20% of eligible Veterans have been screened. Uptake is even lower among Black Veterans despite higher lung cancer risk. Using prediction models to identify high-benefit people for whom LCS should be encouraged improves efficiency and reduces disparities. Moreover, it is more patient-centered as shared decision-making conversations can be tailored with personalized information. The US Preventive Services Task Force has called for research to demonstrate that prediction-augmented LCS can be feasibly implemented at the point-of-care. The investigators propose for VA to lead this effort with a large-scale pragmatic clinical trial to show that prediction-augmented LCS is both feasible and improves LCS uptake.

Blue-Button Screening for Cancer Trials Enrollment
Morgantown, West Virginia
Enrollment in clinical trials predicts better survival in the most common cancer types including breast cancer, and testing and proving the efficacy of new treatments relies on successfully conducting clinical trials. However, approximately one fifth of cancer clinical trials fail due to insufficient patient enrollment, and only about 6% of adult cancer patients are enrolled onto clinical trials. Barriers remain for patient participation in clinical trials, especially for cancer patients. One specific barrier is trial identification and awareness of trial availability for both patients and providers.
This trial tests the hypothesis that by integrating clinical trial eligibility screening into part of routine care in a way that requires little effort and by making that screening site agnostic, the Blue-Button matching functionality will increase overall cancer clinical trial enrollment, and may also result in more diverse clinical trial participants that better reflect the U.S. cancer population. Moreover, regardless of changes in enrollment, the Blue-button screening may allow screening to be done more quickly with fewer human resources when compared to current methods. Identification of potential trial opportunities, however, is only the first barrier to trial enrollment, so this study includes additional examination of barriers subsequent to the identification of relevant trials by cataloging patient-level barriers that prevent enrollment of patients in identified trials.

Screening Messages for Colorectal Cancer
Flint, Michigan
The goal of this study is to improve use of colorectal cancer screening among screening eligible African Americans who are served by Federally Qualified Health Centers in Michigan. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* To what extent to individual prefer and select to complete screening with colonoscopy versus stool-based (FIT Kit or sDNA) options?
* Can full completion of (i.e. follow-through with) screening with a selected modality be enhanced by delivery of a culturally targeted intervention?
Participants will learn about colonoscopy, FIT Kit and sDNA as recommended and widely used screening options. Participants will select a modality to complete their own screening with. Participants will then be randomized to one of three arms (usual care, standard intervention, culturally targeted intervention). Researchers will compare the extent to which intervention arms enhance completion rates across each of the three screening modalities.

Risk-Based Screening for Breast Cancer
Chicago, Illinois
Most physicians still use a one-size-fits-all approach to breast screening in which all women, regardless of their personal history, family history or genetics (except BRCA carriers) are recommended to have annual mammograms starting at age 40. Mammograms benefit women by detecting cancers early when they are easier to treat, but they are not perfect. Recent news stories have discussed some of the potential harms: large numbers of positive results that cause stressful recalls for additional mammograms and biopsies. With the current screening approach, half of the women who undergo annual screening for ten years will have at least one false positive biopsy. Potentially more important are cancer diagnoses for growths that might never come to clinical attention if left alone (called "overdiagnosis"). This can lead to unnecessary treatment. Even more concerning is evidence that up to 20% of breast cancers detected today may fall into the category of "overdiagnosis."
This study compares annual screening with a risk-based breast cancer screening schedule, based upon each woman's personal risk of breast cancer. The investigators have designed the study to be inclusive of all, so that even women who might be nervous about being randomly assigned to receive a particular type of care (a procedure that is typical in clinical studies) will still be able to participate by choosing the type of care they receive.
For participants in the risk-based screening arm, each woman will receive a personal risk assessment that includes her family and medical history, breast density measurement and tests for genes (mutations and variations) linked to the development of breast cancer. Women who have the highest personal risk of developing breast cancer will receive more frequent screening, while women with a lower personal risk would receive less frequent screening. No woman will be screened less than is recommended by the USPSTF breast cancer screening guidelines.
If this study is successful, women will gain a realistic understanding of their personal risk of breast cancer as well as strategies to reduce their risk, and fewer women will suffer from the anxiety of false positive mammograms and unnecessary biopsies. The investigators believe this study has the potential to transform breast cancer screening in America.

Salpingectomy with Delayed Oophorectomy for Ovarian Cancer
Evanston, Illinois
The goal of this clinical research study is to compare ovarian cancer screening, risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO), and prophylactic salpingectomy with delayed oophorectomy (PSDO). The safety of RRSO and PSDO will also be studied.
Ovarian cancer screening does not involve a surgical procedure. Instead, physical exams, blood tests, and ultrasound are used to check for ovarian, fallopian tube, and peritoneal cancer.
The surgical procedures, RRSO and PSDO, are designed to lower your risk of ovarian cancer.
In RRSO, the fallopian tubes and ovaries are removed at the same time.
In PSDO, the fallopian tubes are removed and the ovaries remain in place so that the patient does not go through menopause. The ovaries are removed at a later date. The main goal of this study is to learn how many patients actually have their ovaries removed at a later date. Researchers also want to learn whether the removal of fallopian tubes will decrease the risk of ovarian cancer.

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

Video Interventions for Health Anxiety
Buffalo, New York
Health information avoidance is an overlooked threat to the reach and effectiveness of health communication. To fully realize the benefits of our sizeable investments in health messaging, it is necessary to identify strategies for reducing health information avoidance. The researchers will test a video-based strategy for promoting colorectal cancer screening designed to reduce defensive colorectal cancer information avoidance and increase message reach by increasing engagement among those who would otherwise avoid the message. The researchers will conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing the effects of the intervention video to an attentional control video on colorectal cancer screening intentions and uptake.

Digital Health Program for Colorectal Cancer Screening
Winston-Salem, North Carolina
mPATH-CRC (mobile Patient Technology for Health) is an automated direct-to-patient digital health program about colorectal cancer screening. The goal of this project is to test a cloud-based version of mPATH that patients can use at home independent of a scheduled medical visit. Patients will access mPATH on their own devices using a hyperlink sent via text message. The cloud version of mPATH will have the proven effective content of the tablet version, including the ability to request a screening test directly via the program. mPATH will then share this information with the patient's healthcare organization so screening can be arranged. This cloud-based version will be highly scalable, have broad reach, and be easy to support, making it a commercially viable product. This project will (1) test the reach and effectiveness of the mPATH web app in two different healthcare settings: a Fee-for-Service setting, and a value-based care setting; and (2) determine the value generated by mPATH in each healthcare setting.

Mobile Health Support for Colorectal Cancer Screening
Winston-Salem, North Carolina
This study assesses the effectiveness of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening intervention, mobile Patient Technology for Health (mPATH™-Cloud), compared to usual care among subjects who are overdue for CRC screening according to recommendations of the United States Preventive Services Taskforce (USPSTF). The trial randomly selects and enrolls 1,000 eligible subjects served by one federally qualified health center (FQHC) in North Carolina. Subjects are randomized to two study arms, Usual Care (Arm 1) or Mobile Health Decision Support (Arm 2).
Usual care consists of a visit-based screening recommendation to complete a stool test (e.g., FOBT, FIT, Cologuard) or referral to a screening colonoscopy. Subjects randomized to the Mobile Health Decision Support (Arm 2) are sent a message by text or US mail, depending on their preferred communication mode as indicated in the electronic health record (EHR), to visit the mPATH™-Cloud website. Subjects who engage with mPATH™-Cloud are invited to answer brief questions to confirm their eligibility and then view a short decision aid video designed to help people choose the CRC screening test (FIT or colonoscopy) that they would like to receive. After watching the video, subjects can choose a CRC screening test. Their primary care provider at the FQHC orders the appropriate test and, where indicated, refers the subjects to a colonoscopy. Subjects who request FIT screening and subjects who do not select any test receive a FIT mailed to their home address.
The primary outcome of interest is CRC screening completion within 6 months after randomization as assessed by EHR chart review. A completed screening is any of the following: colonoscopy completion (regardless of indication); 2) at least one FIT test with a normal result; or diagnostic colonoscopy following an abnormal FIT result. We hypothesize that we will observe a higher CRC screening completion rate in the Mobile Health Decision Support intervention arm (Arm 2).
This study includes up to three annual rounds of screening eligibility assessment and outreach. Repeated intervention rounds allow us to evaluate whether the intervention can improve adherence to USPSTF recommendations over time. During the 3-year intervention phase, Arm 1 receives usual care only.

Peer Health Coaching for Women's Health Improvement
Mississauga, Ontario
The Building on Existing Tools To improvE cancer and chronic disease pRevention and screening in primary care (BETTER) Program allows patients in primary care to have a dedicated visit with a prevention practitioner to discuss chronic disease prevention and cancer screening. A prevention practitioner is a health professional, working in primary care, who has received additional training to discuss chronic disease prevention and screening and develop health goals with patients through shared decision-making. Previous studies have shown that this approach increases the number of prevention and screening actions completed by program participants. However, maintenance of health behaviour changes is difficult without on-going support. There is also some evidence that peer-delivered coaching can improve health outcomes in community settings. As such, the BETTER Women program extends the BETTER program by focusing on 40 to 68-year-old women and providing time-limited support for health behaviour change through peer health coaches. Coaches are volunteers - trained in techniques to support health behaviour change - who support women to achieve their health goals over a 6-month period. In this study, the investigators will explore: (i) whether patients who participate in health coaching after a prevention visit are more likely to increase the number of prevention and screening actions that they complete after six months, compared to women who participate in a prevention visit but do not get health coaching; (ii) whether the intervention effects endure six months after the intervention ends; and (iii) the implementation of the program to learn about factors that affect various aspects of the success and sustainability of the program.

Patient Navigation for Colorectal Cancer Screening
Gaithersburg, Maryland
Patient navigation is an evidence-based strategy to increase screening rates among racial and ethnic minorities, but there is a gap in understanding the multi-level influences on implementation of such programs across primary care practices. The investigators will conduct a stepped-wedge, randomized trial to roll out patient navigation and patient and provider reminders across 15 clinics (3 clinics per step, 5 six-month steps). Implementation strategies will include assessing for readiness, audit and feedback, building a community coalition, engaging consumers, modifying referral tracking, and training and educating clinical stakeholders. The research team will use the electronic health record data with consideration for the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP) Common Data Model, additional patient-reported data, and study tracking logs to measure reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and will use qualitative measures and site observations to document contextual factors, including examination of discrimination in patient experiences and provider referral patterns that may influence intervention delivery or colorectal cancer screening completion.

Social Media Messages for Colorectal Cancer Screening
Toronto, Ontario
Using social media for health promotion is an innovative and emerging approach but remains relatively unexplored in cancer screening. Uptake of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening remains low and standard methods of reaching out are expensive with limited impact. The objective of this study is to conduct a cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT) to test the effectiveness of social media messages for CRC screening on screening intention (primary outcome). The results of this trial will be of interest to Ontario Health and are likely to be taken up by other screening programs looking for innovative and novel ways to increase screening participation. The study results will be easily translatable identifying the most compelling CRC screening messages while the approach can easily be translated to other cancer disease sites with screening programs.

Genetic Screening and MRI for Prostate Cancer
Bethesda, Maryland
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate a screening method to detect clinically relevant prostate cancer. This clinical trial is using genetic data to determine a man's risk of cancer, together with multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) to identify men with higher grade cancer.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
* If genetic data related to prostate cancer used with MRI can identify higher-grade, potentially fatal prostate cancer
* What age a MRI is useful clinically for prostate cancer screening
* If deep learning methods used with MRI when the genetic risk of the man is known can more accurately predict significant cancers
Participants will:
* Get a prostate specific antigen (PSA) blood test
* Get an mpMRI
* Get the results of their genetic data to determine if they are considered high-, intermediate-, or low-risk for prostate cancer based on the trials genetic testing
* Follow-up for this trial based on the participants risk and findings from the PSA test and mpMRI

MRI Screening for Brain Metastases in Breast Cancer
Toronto, Ontario
In this study, 50 women with either HER2+ or triple negative metastatic breast cancer but no known brain metastases will be recruited at the Sunnybrook Odette Cancer Centre. They will be randomized to undergo either routine MRI screening of their brain every 4 months for 1 year or standard-of-care (MRI only if symptoms of brain metastases develop). Patients will complete questionnaires about quality of life and cancer-related anxiety throughout the study. To determine why some cancers spread to the brain and others do not, blood samples will be collected to analyze the genetic makeup of patients' breast cancers. Finally, a novel MRI imaging technique that detects abnormal metabolism in the brain will be used to help detect brain metastases even earlier than the standard MRI.
If results are promising, we will conduct a large multi-centre randomized trial to determine whether screening for brain metastases can help them live longer with improved quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Cancer Screening clinical trials pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.
How do Cancer Screening clinical trials work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Cancer Screening trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Cancer Screening is 12 months.
How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.
What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.
Do I need to be insured to participate in a Cancer Screening medical study?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.
