Hospital colonoscopy showdown: Low-Volume prep may be easier on patients
NCT ID NCT05054036
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a low-volume bowel prep (MoviPrep) works as well as a high-volume one (GoLYTELY) in hospitalized patients getting a colonoscopy. The goal was to see if the low-volume option is better tolerated while still cleaning the bowel adequately. 520 hospitalized adults took part, and the results could help make colonoscopy prep easier for sicker patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
MoviPrep (low-volume bowel preparation) and GoLYTELY (high-volume bowel preparation)
What this could lead to
If MoviPrep works better, hospitalized patients may have a more tolerable bowel prep option, potentially reducing delays and hospital stays.
What could go wrong
This is a completed Phase 4 trial, but results may not apply to all patients or settings. Tolerability and prep quality can vary individually.
