A spray to clear mucus during colonoscopy in colitis
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a medicine called pronase, given before a colonoscopy, helps clear away mucus in the intestines so the doctor can see better in people with colitis (like ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease). It might help make the exam more accurate and comfortable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's or ulcerative colitis) or have intestine inflammation.

This study tests whether a medicine called pronase, taken before an upper endoscopy (a scope test to look at your stomach), helps keep the stomach lining cleaner so the doctor can see better. If you are having a routine upper endoscopy, this might help make the exam more accurate.
This study tests a sodium phosphate powder for cleaning the bowel before a colonoscopy. It looks at how safe and effective it is for people in this age group.
This trial tests a new liquid solution that you drink before a colonoscopy to see if it cleans the colon better than the usual prep. If you're scheduled for a colonoscopy, this might make the procedure more effective and comfortable.
This trial tests whether a menthol solution sprayed inside the colon during a colonoscopy can reduce cramping and help doctors see more polyps (small growths that could become cancer). It may make the exam more comfortable and improve detection.
This trial tests a new rinsing liquid used during a colonoscopy to see if it helps doctors see the colon more clearly. It might make the procedure more effective at finding problems.
This trial tests a bowel-cleansing liquid called CLENPIQ in children ages 1 to 9 who need a colonoscopy. It aims to see if it works well and is safe for preparing the colon before the procedure.
