Mailed FIT for Colorectal Cancer (SCORE Trial)

"This research endeavour seeks to enrol 4,400 individuals between 45 and 75 years of age who have colorectal cancer. Furthermore, these participants must meet additional criteria including: having an average risk for CRC (defined as lacking any history or record of colonic adenomas/polyps), not having undergone FOBT/FIT nor a CT Colonography within the past 12 months and 10 years respectively; no records indicating comorbidities such as dementia, end-stage renal disease etc.; being actively registered at the clinic that is conducting this trial; providing a valid North carolina mailing address in their medical records; and lastly"

"This clinical trial has two primary goals that will be monitored over a period of six months. The first is to ascertain the proportion of participants aged 50-75 who complete colorectal cancer screening within this timeframe, and the second is to measure the incremental cost associated with each additional patient screened in comparison to usual care. Secondary objectives include ascertaining what percentage of those with abnormal FIT/FOBT results receive follow up colonoscopies, as well as quantifying how many people are referred for cancer treatment post diagnosis through electronic health records review."

"The data posted on clinicaltrials.gov suggests that this trial is no longer seeking participants, as the last update was made over a year ago. Nevertheless, there are still 1,064 other trials open to prospective candidates at present."

"The accepted age range for this medical trial is between 45 and 75 years old. There are a total of 38 trials available to those under 18, while 1050 studies can be found that focus on patients aged 65 or older."
