Cleansing options to improve colonoscopy tolerance

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

About 300 adults scheduled for outpatient colonoscopy will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive either a low-volume tablet preparation (Sutab/Suflave) or standard polyethylene glycol solution (Golytely). Participants will complete brief surveys before and after their procedures over a 12-month enrollment period to capture completion rates, satisfaction, and tolerability. Endoscopists will rate bowel cleanliness to compare the endoscopic adequacy of each method. The trial will compare patient-reported experience and objective cleansing outcomes between the two prep strategies.
