ACTIVE NOT RECRUITING NA

The PRIME-CRC Trial to Promote CRC Screening in Rural Communities

NCT04313114 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Study Summary

The investigators will expand an existing, patient-centered, health literacy strategy to promote longer-term adherence to colorectal cancer (CRC) screening in resource-limited, rural health clinics via colonoscopy or annual fecal immunochemical test (FIT). In the proposed 2-arm study, both PRIME-CRC and enhanced usual care (control) will incorporate health literacy evidence-based practices for delivering CRC patient information and counseling to aid patient decision making for selecting FIT or colonoscopy, including simplified test instructions. In addition, the PRIME-CRC arm will use a "stepped care" approach for reminding patients on proper CRC screening preparation for scheduled colonoscopy or completion of annual FIT. Patients in the PRIME-CRC arm will receive frequent follow-up contact from their health care provider via audio-recorded, automated call or SMS text, based on patient preference.

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04313114

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04313114 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. 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 804 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center Shreveport, which has 9 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 health literacy appropriate education and demonstration 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: NCT04313114 reports 3 study locations spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Louisiana. 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.
