Bowel cleansing study for children having a colonoscopy
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a bowel-cleansing medicine called PLENVU against another medicine (sodium picosulfate) in children aged 1 to under 18 who need a colonoscopy. The goal is to see which one works better at cleaning the bowel before the procedure.
