FORTE Study for Colorectal Cancer Prevention

FORTE is a randomized, interventional, clinical trial designed to determine how often patients who have had 1-2 benign polyps found on a recent colonoscopy should get subsequent follow-up colonoscopies. In answering this question, this trial hopes to aid in improving colorectal cancer prevention. A description of this clinical trial will be available at www.ClinicalTrials.gov, as required by U.S. law.

In order to participate you must meet the following criteria:

• Are 50 to 70 years of age.
• Have a first-time diagnosis of 1-2 non-advanced tubular adenomas (or sessile serrated polyps/adenomas).
• Most recent colonoscopy must be a complete colonoscopy, with visualization of the cecum.

You will be excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply to you:

• Have a prior history of colorectal cancer or colorectal adenomas.
• Have a history of previous cancers unless you have been disease-free for 5 or more years prior to randomization and are deemed by your physician to be at low risk for recurrence.
• Have family history of colorectal cancer diagnosed at greater than or equal to 60 years of age in a first degree relative.
• Have been diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
