What this trial studies
This observational study aims to validate a non-invasive urine-based diagnostic technology for detecting and differentiating various gastrointestinal diseases, including colorectal cancer, SIBO, Crohn's disease, and Celiac disease. Participants will provide urine samples and clinical data, which will be analyzed using artificial intelligence and machine learning to develop disease-specific models. The study seeks to determine the effectiveness of this platform in identifying disease signals compared to normal controls and to evaluate its performance metrics such as sensitivity and specificity.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to a more accurate and non-invasive method for diagnosing gastrointestinal diseases.
How similar studies have gone: While the approach of using urine metabolites for disease diagnosis is innovative, similar studies have shown promise in other areas, indicating potential for success.
