Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18 to 75 with a confirmed diagnosis of IBD undergoing colonoscopy and able to consent.

Probably not a fit

Patients who do not benefit may include those without bowel prep issues or with conditions that interfere with diet-based preparation, or those with contraindications to the nutritional formula.

What this trial studies

The trial compares two approaches to bowel preparation before colonoscopy in adults with IBD: a conventional low-residue diet versus the same diet supplemented with Maifu Changqing Complete Nutritional Formula Powder, initiated 24 hours before the procedure. It uses a randomized design across multiple centers to collect data on bowel cleansing quality, nutritional status, and comfort during prep. Data are gathered via standardized case report forms and quality control procedures ensure accuracy and adherence to GCP standards. The study aims to improve both the effectiveness of bowel prep and the patient experience in the IBD population.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, patients could experience better bowel cleansing and improved comfort during prep, potentially leading to easier colonoscopy and better detection.

How similar studies have gone: Previous studies in related settings suggest dietary modifications can influence bowel-prep quality, but this specific pre-packaged formula approach in IBD is novel and requires confirmation.
