Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

TRIOMIC - 1

Determination of the clinical utility for stratification of colorectal cancer and high risk adenoma in a symptomatic population using hologenomic analysis.

Time frame
26 months
2

TRIOMIC - 2

To expand and refine the genomic, epigenetic and microbiome biomarker signature profiles associated with colorectal cancer and high-risk adenoma to identify rarer biomarkers in addition to those previously established.

Time frame
26 month
3

TRIOMIC - 3

To generate indicative performance metrics, including an assessment of discriminatory power, sensitivity, specificity and negative predictive values for the clinical application of Oricol™ multiomics assay.

Time frame
26 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Health Economic Assessment

1\. To assess the health economics of delivering a diagnostic service to patients referred to the urgent suspected cancer (USC) pathway via a Community Diagnostic Centre (CDC) in comparison to the current delivery mechanisms through the Two-Week Wait (TWW) pathway.

Time frame
