CRC screening with ColoSTAT as an alternative to COL could result in multi-billion-dollar cost savings to US private insurers while still detecting most CRC cases and generate population-health gains if used as an alternative to FIT in government-sponsored screening programs.
The ColoSTAT test met the primary endpoints of performance based on sensitivity and specificity in detecting CRC compared to colonoscopy. ColoSTAT sensitivity and specificity for CRC were comparable with published performance parameters for FIT which range from 74-93% (sensitivity) and 85-96% (specificity).1Clinical trial information: ACTRN12619000301167.
