This study tests a new urine-based test that could help doctors detect colorectal cancer and other digestive system diseases without invasive procedures. Researchers want to see if analyzing urine samples can accurately identify and distinguish between different gastrointestinal conditions.
Key Objective: The potential benefit is a simple, non-invasive urine test that could detect colorectal cancer earlier and more conveniently than current screening methods.
Who to Consider: People with colorectal cancer or those at risk for gastrointestinal diseases who are interested in helping develop a simpler diagnostic tool should consider enrolling.
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
The goal of this observational study is to validate a non-invasive, urine-based diagnostic technology for the detection and differentiation of various gastrointestinal (GI) diseases. This research study intends to enroll participants across a range of demographics and GI disease states including colorectal cancer, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), Crohn\'s disease, and Celiac disease, collect urine samples and clinical data, and use artificial intelligence and machine learning to build disease-specific models which can identify and differentiate a participants' specific GI disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does the platform identify a disease signal within each disease cohort, compared to normal controls? 2. How well does the test perform (e.g. sensitivity and specificity/false-positive rate)?
