Pre-packaged low-residue diet (Maifu Changqing®) for bowel preparation in adults with IBD

Official title: Pre-packaged Low-residue Diet for Bowel Preparation in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A National Multicenter Randomized Controlled Non-inferiority Clinical Trial

Run by Changhai Hospital · NCT07353853 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This project will see if a pre-packaged low-residue nutrition powder (Maifu Changqing®) makes bowel preparation easier and better nourishes adults with IBD who are having a colonoscopy.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18–75 with a diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease per current guidelines who are willing to provide informed consent and undergo colonoscopy are the intended participants.

Probably not a fit

Patients with acute severe IBD complications (major bleeding, suspected toxic megacolon), severe organ dysfunction, intestinal obstruction or severe strictures, recent colorectal surgery, relevant medication use affecting motility, or allergy to study components are unlikely to benefit or be eligible.

What this trial studies

The project tests a pre-packaged low-residue nutrition formula given as part of bowel preparation for adults with inflammatory bowel disease. It is organized in three phases: protocol and questionnaire design, multi-center implementation with surveys, training and case report form collection, and final data quality evaluation. Participating centers will administer the Maifu Changqing® Complete Nutrition Formula Powder during the bowel-prep period and record tolerability, nutritional parameters, and bowel cleanliness outcomes. The study will aggregate CRF data across sites to determine whether the packaged diet improves patient comfort and the quality of bowel preparation for colonoscopy.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could make bowel preparation more comfortable and better maintain nutrition for IBD patients undergoing colonoscopy, potentially improving prep quality and tolerance.

How similar studies have gone: Previous work in general colonoscopy populations has shown low-residue diets can provide bowel cleanliness comparable to clear-liquid regimens, but using a pre-packaged nutrition formula specifically for IBD patients is relatively novel.
