ArmDescriptionAssigned Intervention
Experimental
Participants aged 2 to <4 years: 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.
  • Drug: CLENPIQ
    CLENPIQ consists of sodium picosulfate 10.0 mg + magnesium oxide 3.5 g + citric acid, anhydrous 12.0 g. Supplied as a pre-mixed, ready-to-drink oral solution in two bottles, each containing 160 mL.
Active Comparator
Participants aged 2 to <4 years: MIRALAX+SENNA
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.
  • Drug: MIRALAX
    MIRALAX powder for oral solution, supplied in a 8.3 oz multi-dose bottle containing 238 g of laxative powder (polyethylene glycol [PEG] 3350). MIRALAX is mixed with non-carbonated, clear beverage, or water and consumed at specified intervals until the total required dose.
  • Drug: SENNA
    SENNA Liquid (chocolate flavor) is an oral solution to be taken according to body weight (8.8 mg for 10-22 kg, 17.6 mg for 22-34 kg and 26.4 mg for >34 kg) prior to MIRALAX.
Experimental
Participants aged 4 to <9 years: CLENPIQ
