Study Summary

This trial is testing whether a low-volume bowel preparation is as effective as a standard high-volume preparation for hospitalized patients undergoing colonoscopy.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for hospitalized adults needing a colonoscopy who can consent, follow the study plan, and take bowel prep. Excluded are those with certain metabolic disorders, prior significant GI surgeries, known allergies to prep ingredients, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and patients with specific GI conditions like ileus.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two types of bowel cleansing methods before a colonoscopy: MoviPrep (low volume) versus GoLYTELY (high volume). It aims to determine if MoviPrep is as effective but more tolerable for inpatients than the traditional high-volume option.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects from both MoviPrep and GoLYTELY may include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain or cramps, bloating and dehydration. Some people might also experience changes in electrolytes which can affect heart rhythm.
