Evaluation of an Intervention to Increase Colorectal Cancer Screening in Primary Care Clinics

NCT00737646 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Study Summary

This study is a three-arm randomized controlled trial to implement and evaluate the relative effects of: 1) clinic-focused intervention; 2) combined patient- and clinic-focused intervention, and 3) usual care on the provision of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening in primary care clinics. The study will also examine the relative effects of the intervention conditions on secondary behavioral outcomes (e.g., clinician-patient discussions about CRC screening) and on intermediate outcome measures of attitudes, beliefs, opinions, and social influence surrounding CRC screening among patients, clinicians, and clinical staff. The target population includes average-risk patients aged 50-75 years, clinicians, and clinical staff within the primary care setting. The intervention will be implemented within primary care clinics in two managed care organizations (MCOs). The intervention targets the following CRC screening modalities: fecal occult blood test (FOBT), flexible sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, and double contrast barium enema.

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT00737646

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT00737646 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 5,066 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which has 42 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.

The record links to 1 condition, with Colorectal Cancer appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 3 interventions — of which Usual care is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.

Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT00737646 reports 3 study locations spanning 3 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include Michigan, New Mexico, Washington. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
