Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy and Safety of Bisacodyl and Lactulose as a Preparation for Colonoscopy (NCT NCT02123017)

NCT ID: NCT02123017

Last Updated: 2016-02-24

Results Overview

Efficacy assessed by the physician's determination of the cleanliness of the colon using the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS). 9 is the maximum score, representing an fully cleansed colon; 0 is the minimal score, representing a colon with no cleaning.
