Point of Care Test to Diagnosed Colorectal Cancer and Polyps in Low Middle Income Countries

Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital926 enrolled

Overview

This is a-two phase study. Phase 1 will adapt a 3-metabolite biosensor that identifies patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) and precancerous polyps to Nigerian patients. Phase 2 will pilot test and evaluate the point-of-care (POC) biosensor device in Nigeria.

In Phase 1, urine will be collected from 450 Nigerian patients (150 with CRC, 150 with polyps, and 150 patients with no colon premalignant or malignant pathology. These samples will be used to refine a handheld biosensor. This handheld biosensor is intended to be a cost-effective POC diagnostic test highly sensitive for CRC in Nigerian patients. In Phase 2, the biosensor device will be piloted in Nigeria with 75 patients that are high-risk for CRC.. After the pilot, POC test in real-time analysis on urine from 645 patients who are in one of three groups: 1.\> 40 years of age with rectal bleeding; 2.a family history of CRC; 3. have a diagnosis of CRC. All patients will receive a colonoscopy. Beliefs and barriers related to urine testing for CRC will be investigated. Study will be completed within 5 years.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Sensitivity and specificity of a point of care device to diagnose colorectal cancer and polyps

We have designed a urine-based point of care diagnostic test to risk-stratify patients at high-risk for colorectal cancer. that will have 50% specificity and 80% sensitivity among Nigerian targeted population.

Time frame: 5 years

Secondary Outcomes

Number of patients that are willing to consider continued colorectal cancer surveillance with a urine point of care test.

The barriers and attitudes of patients towards a point of care urine test will be used to predict how many patients are willing to use this methodology.

Time frame: 3 years

Cost per patient of point of care urine test for diagnosing patients with colorectal cancer and polyps.

The cost per patient will be determined using a cost effectiveness model already developed for the urine screening test in high-income countries.

Time frame: 3 years
