Predicting recurrence of high-risk colorectal polyps using microbiota and metabolites
Official title: Development and Validation of Microbiota and Metabolite-based Prediction Model for Recurrence of High-risk Colorectal Polyps After Polypectomy
Run by Peking Union Medical College Hospital · NCT06957626 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is trying to see if the bacteria and substances in the gut can help predict if high-risk colorectal polyps will come back after they've been removed.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are patients aged 40-75 years who have at least one high-risk colorectal polyp and are undergoing colonoscopy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with severe physical diseases, previous gastrointestinal surgeries, or existing colorectal cancer will not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This study analyzes the characteristics of intestinal microbiota in patients who have undergone polypectomy for high-risk colorectal polyps. It aims to understand the relationship between microbial communities and the recurrence of these polyps, which could provide insights into the etiology of adenoma recurrence. By developing a prediction model based on microbiota and metabolites, the research seeks to enhance patient management and outcomes following polypectomy.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to a predictive tool that helps identify patients at higher risk for polyp recurrence, allowing for more tailored surveillance and intervention strategies.
How similar studies have gone: While the specific approach of using microbiota and metabolites for prediction is novel, similar studies have shown promise in understanding the role of microbiota in colorectal health.
