In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

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. An adequate level of bowel preparation and cleansing is essential for effective colonoscopy to allow proper visualisation of the bowel.
