Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

This clinical trial aims to compare the effectiveness and safety of two bowel cleansing treatments, PLENVU® and sodium picosulfate, in children and teenagers aged 1 to under 18 years old who need a colonoscopy. A colonoscopy is a procedure that allows doctors to look inside the large intestine to check for any issues. Proper bowel cleansing is crucial for a successful examination. By comparing these treatments, the study seeks to determine which option is more effective and better tolerated. The findings could improve bowel preparation practices for young patients, ensuring a smoother and more comfortable experience during colonoscopy procedures. In this study, participants are randomly assigned to receive one of the two treatments in a split dosing schedule over two days. After a screening period, participants stay at a clinical research unit where they receive their assigned treatment and undergo a colonoscopy on the second day. The effectiveness of the bowel cleansing is evaluated during the procedure. After the colonoscopy, participants are discharged and a follow-up safety check is conducted either by phone or in person about a week later. This approach ensures close monitoring of the treatment's effects and any potential side effects, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of each treatment's performance.
