Group Intervention Description Participants aged 4 to <9 years: CLENPIQ CLENPIQ CLENPIQ administered using "split-dose" method and consists of two separate doses: the first dose (1 bottle \[approximately 160 mL\]) one day before colonoscopy between 5:00 PM and 9:00 PM, and the second dose (½ bottle \[approximately 80 mL\]) the next day, at least 5 hours prior but no more than 9 hours prior to the colonoscopy. Following each dose, participants will consume 50 mL/kg of clear liquids, up to a limit of 1,000 mL total weight-based maximum. Participants aged 2 to <4 years: CLENPIQ CLENPIQ CLENPIQ administered using "split-dose" method and consists of two separate doses: the first dose (½ bottle \[approximately 80 mL\]) one day before colonoscopy between 5:00 PM and 9:00 PM, and the second dose (½ bottle \[approximately 80 mL\]) the next day, at least 5 hours prior but no more than 9 hours prior to the colonoscopy. Following each dose, participants will consume 50 mL/kg of clear liquids, up to a limit of 1,000 mL. Participants aged 2 to <4 years: MIRALAX MIRALAX MIRALAX 3.4 to 4.9 g/kg up to a maximum of 238 g is reconstituted with non-carbonated, clear beverage, or water and administered in increments of 4 ounce (oz) for every 30 minutes, one day before colonoscopy between 5:00 PM and 9:00 PM. Following dosing, participants will consume 50 mL/kg of clear liquids, up to a limit of 1,000 mL total weight-based maximum. Participants aged 4 to <9 years: MIRALAX MIRALAX MIRALAX 3.4 to 4.9 g/kg up to a maximum of 238 g is reconstituted with non-carbonated, clear beverage, or water and administered in increments of 8 oz for every 30 minutes one day before colonoscopy between 5:00 PM and 9:00 PM.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Percentage of participants classified as responders, defined by "excellent" or "good" in the Modified Aronchick scale On the day of colonoscopy (Day 1) The efficacy of overall colon cleansing in terms of responders will be graded by a blinded endoscopist using the Modified Aronchick Scale. It is a 4-point scale that grades colon cleansing as Excellent (\>90% of mucosa seen, mostly liquid stool, minimal suctioning needed for adequate visualization), Good (\>90% of mucosa seen, mostly liquid stool, significant suctioning needed for adequate visualization), Fair (\>90% of mucosa seen, mixture of liquid and semisolid stool, could be suctioned and/or washed) or Inadequate (\<90% of mucosa seen, mixture of semisolid and solid stool which could not be suctioned or washed).The participant is considered to be a responder if overall colon cleansing is "excellent" or "good" on this 4-point scale.
- Secondary Outcome Measures

On the day of colonoscopy (Day 1) The tolerability and satisfaction of colon cleansing preparation for colonoscopy will be assessed by the child/ parent(s)/caregiver(s)/guardian(s) using modified tolerability and satisfaction questionnaire. The above question will be answered on a 6-point scale: (1=never, 2=rarely, 3=sometimes, 4=often, 5=very often, 6=do not know).
