Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To demonstrate that the overall bowel cleansing (Boston Bowel Preparation Scale – BBPS =6) success rate of 1L volume of Polyethylene glycol PEG 3350, Sodium Ascorbate, Sodium Sulfate (IMP Test) is not lower than that obtained using 2 l PEG+Asc (IMP Confronto), both in split dose, in elderly outpatients undergoing scheduled colonoscopy.;Secondary Objective: Secondary Endpoints are aimed to compare Plenvu vs Moviprep in terms of: •Colonoscopy performance indicators (points 1-2) •Cleansing performance on the right colon (point 3) •Evaluate the impact of the bowel preparation’s timing on the cleansing success(point 4) •Compliance, Tolerability and side effects assessed by patient reported outcome (points 5-10) 1) Cecal intubation rate, 2) ADR and PDR, 3) Adequate cleansing of right colon, 4) Differences in successful bowel cleansing between patients undergoing colonoscopy in the morning or in the afternoon, 5)Compliance with product intake, 6-7)Tolerability: a) first colonoscopy b) previous colonoscopy, 8) Intensity and rate of side effects, 9) Sleep quality, 10) Fecal incontinence during travel, 11) Willingness to repeat same prep in patients with previous colonscopy during the last 3 years;Primary end point(s): see above;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 12 months
