GI SPORE Colon Biosample Protocol
NCT02243267 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The investigators are creating a data and specimen repository to study causes , early detection, prevention and treatment of colon and rectal cancer. The investigators are collecting data and specimens (blood, stool, urine and tissue) from people who have colon or rectal cancer, or who are risk for developing colorectal cancer or had normal colonoscopies. Data and samples are held in the repository until there are enough to be used for a large study or until there are new techniques that can be used to test them. The GI SPORE Program at the University of Michigan maintains a repository of specimens for colorectal diseases that the investigators hope will help fuel new research. The investigators hope that this work may lead to new treatments or earlier detection of colorectal cancer or improved diagnosis and treatment of other colon and rectal diseases.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT02243267
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT02243267 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as an unspecified phase, 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 115 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Michigan, which has 1,126 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Colon Cancer appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which sample collection 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: NCT02243267 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Michigan. 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.
