Trial Outcomes & Findings for Investigation of PICOPREP and PEG-ELS for Bowel Preparation for Colonoscopy (NCT NCT01356407)

NCT ID: NCT01356407

Last Updated: 2013-01-28

Results Overview

The total Ottawa Bowel Preparation Scale (OBPS) score, rated by the treatment-blinded Investigator at colonoscopy, was designed to evaluate cleanliness of the colon by grading the endoscopic visibility of the mucosa according to a scale from 0 ('excellent' visibility) to 4 ('inadequate' visibility); The component scores for each of the colon segment are added together, along with an overall 'fluid' score (from small amount = 0, to large amount = 2). Thus, the total OBPS has a range from 0 (a perfect preparation) to 14 (a completely unprepared bowel)

On the day of the procedure, but before colonoscopy or any sedation for colonoscopy, subjects were asked to complete a standardised questionnaire regarding whether or not complete the IMP (yes or no), ease of taking IMP (rating from 1 point(very easy) to 5 point (very difficult)), degree of acceptability to study med (rating from 1 point (excellent) to 5 point (bad)), palatability of IMP (rating from 1 point (excellent) to 5 point (bad)) and tolerability (5 adverse reactions including abdominal bloating, spasms, nausea, vomiting and general malaise which were generally reported in bowel preparation with rating according to intensity from 1 point (None) to 4 point (Severe)).

At colonoscopy, bowel preparations were rated by the treatment-blinded endoscopist, as being of an overall quality "adequate for clinical diagnostic purposes" (Y/N). The total Ottawa Scale scores was correlated with 'adequate' or 'inadequate' quality of bowel preparation for clinical diagnostic purposes
