Recruiting PHASE3 Bowel Cleansing Prior to Clinical Procedures

Compares treatment options for Bowel Cleansing Prior to Clinical Procedures

Official title A Study to Investigate Bowel Cleansing With PLENVU® Compared to Sodium Picosulfate in Participants Aged 1 to < 18 Years of Age in Preparation for Colonoscopy

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07218523

What this study is testing

What is PLENVU®?

PLENVU® is an investigational medicine, given as a pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for bowel cleansing prior to clinical procedures.

Also referred to as NER1006.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of PLENVU® by measuring its bowel cleansing success rate compared to sodium picosulfate in paediatric participants aged less than 18 years who are scheduled to undergo a colonoscopy. Colonoscopy is a crucial procedure that helps to diagnose and manage various gastrointestinal (GI) conditions in paediatric patients.
