A Trial Comparing Split-Dose Miralax With Amitiza Pretreatment Versus Dulcolax Pretreatment Versus Golytely for Bowel Cleansing Prior to Colonoscopy
NCT00953017 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Miralax (PEG 3350) has been shown to be a safe and uncomplicated bowel preparation prior to colonoscopy in pediatric populations. This study seeks to confirm the efficacy of this bowel cleansing regimen in adults and to determine the benefit of adding a pretreatment medication to this bowel preparation. The tolerability of Miralax will hopefully improve patient satisfaction with colonoscopy and decrease their reluctance to be screened because of the uncomfortable taste and side effects of bowel preparation regimens.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT00953017
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT00953017 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as Phase 4, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 425 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Brooke Army Medical Center, which has 18 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Colonoscopy appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 4 interventions — of which Miralax (PEG 3350) is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT00953017 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Texas. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
