- Brief Summary
This study evaluates the efficacy, safety and tolerability of NER1006 versus a sodium picosulfate and magnesium salt solution (SP + MS) in adult patients requiring bowel cleansing prior to any procedure that requires a clean bowel, using a Day Before Only Dosing regimen. Approximately 484 patients will be randomised with the aim of achieving a minimum of 220 patients in each of the 2 groups.

Group Intervention Description NER1006, Day Before-Only Dosing NER1006, Day Before-Only Dosing NER1006 1-Day Day Before-Only Split-Dosing Regimen (to commence on the evening of the day before colonoscopy). SP+MS, Day Before-Only Dosing SP+MS, Day Before-Only Dosing SP+MS 1-Day Day Before-Only Split-Dosing Regimen (to commence on the morning of the day before colonoscopy).
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Number of Patients With 'Excellent Plus Good' (Highly Effective) Bowel Cleansing (Colon Ascendens) One day (day before colonoscopy) The overall quality of bowel cleansing was assessed by a blinded central reader (an experienced and trained colonoscopist) using the segmental scores of the Harefield Cleansing Scale (HCS). Highly effective cleansing in the colon ascendens corresponded to scores 3 (Good) or 4 (Excellent) of the HCS. Adequate plus failure of cleansing corresponded to score 0-2. Comparison of 'Excellent plus good' cleansing of the colon ascendens using NER1006 versus SP+MS was evaluated using a non-inferiority study design.
Number of Patients With Successful Bowel Cleansing (Overall Colon) One day (day before colonoscopy) The overall quality of bowel cleansing was assessed by a blinded central reader (an experienced and trained colonoscopist) using the segmental scores of the Harefield Cleansing Scale (HCS). A final HCS grading of A, B, C or D was derived. Grades A and B are classified as successful (i.e. all mucosa could be visualized) and C and D are classified as unsuccessful. Comparison of overall success of cleansing with NER1006 versus SP+MS was evaluated using a non-inferiority study design.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Adenoma Detection Rate (Colon Ascendens) One day (day before colonoscopy). Comparison of the number of patients with at least one adenoma detected in the colon ascendens when NER1006 is used for bowel cleansing versus SP+MS. Adenoma detection rate (ADR) defined as the number of patients with at least one adenoma in the colon ascendens.
Polyp Detection Rate (Colon Ascendens) One day (day before colonoscopy) Comparison of the number of patients with at least one polyp detected in the colon ascendens when NER1006 is used for bowel cleansing versus SP+MS. Polyp detection rate (PDR) defined as the number of patients with at least one polyp in the colon ascendens.
Polyp Detection Rate (Overall Colon) One day (day before colonoscopy) Comparison of the number of patients with at least one polyp detected in the overall colon when NER1006 is used for bowel cleansing versus SP+MS. Polyp detection rate (PDR) defined as the number of patients with at least one polyp in the overall colon.
Adenoma Detection Rate (Overall Colon) One day (day before colonoscopy) Comparison of the number of patients with at least one adenoma detected in the overall colon when NER1006 is used for bowel cleansing versus SP+MS. Adenoma detection rate (ADR) defined as the number of patients with at least one adenoma in the overall colon.
