Cancer Colorectal clinical trials at UCSF

1 research study open to eligible people

Cancer colorectal impacts the colon and rectum. UCSF is studying technology and teamwork to ensure patients get timely colonoscopies when screenings show potential issues. Findings could be key in diagnosing cancer earlier and preventing it.

  • IMProving Adherence to Colonoscopy Through Teams and Technology

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    Complete and timely colonoscopy after an abnormal stool-based colorectal cancer screening test results in early detection, cancer prevention, and reduction in mortality, but follow-up in safety-net health systems occurs in less than 50% at 6 months. The proposal will implement multi-level approach consisting of a stepped-wedge clinic-level intervention of team-based best practices co-developed with primary and specialty care, a patient-level technology intervention to provide enhanced instructions and navigation to complete diagnostic colonoscopy, and a mixed methods evaluation to explore multi-level factors contributing to intervention outcomes. Developing a solution to this high-risk and diverse population has the potential to translate to other health systems, support patient self-management, and address other patient conditions.
