Efficacy Experience

Split-dose CLENPIQ demonstrated proven efficacy in
cleansing the entire colon1,2*

88% of patients achieved successful cleansing of the overall colon1,2*

Overall Color Chart

The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients with successful colon cleansing, defined as “excellent” or “good”

Scoring was performed before washing and suctioning

*Trial Design: The safety and efficacy of CLENPIQ were evaluated in a randomized, multicenter, controlled, assessor-blinded trial. CLENPIQ® (sodium picosulfate, magnesium oxide, and anhydrous citric acid) Oral Solution (SPMC) was administered in a split-dose regimen against an oral powder (for reconstitution) (P/MC powder) and efficacy was evaluated using 2 different measurement scales.2 In this trial, CLENPIQ patients were instructed to drink at least five 8-ounce glasses of clear liquid within 5 hours of the first dose of CLENPIQ and at least four 8-ounce glasses of clear liquid within 4 hours of the second dose.2

Split-dose CLENPIQ demonstrated proven efficacy in cleansing all segments of the colon2*

94% of patients achieved successful cleansing of the ascending colon2*

Segmental colon

Asending Colon Chart
Transverse Colon Chart

Secondary efficacy endpoints were the proportion of patients with successful cleansing of the ascending, transverse, and descending colon, defined as a segmental score of “3” or “2”2

Scoring was performed after washing and suctioning2

Established safety profile1,2

The most common adverse reactions (≥ 2%) observed in the adult CLENPIQ split-dose clinical trial were nausea (3%), headache (3%), hypermagnesemia (2%), abdominal pain (2%), and dehydration or dizziness (2%).1,2

Hypermagnesemia levels were transient and not associated with any clinical significant sequelae. Eight of the 9 patients with hypermagnesemia returned to baseline within 24 to 48 hours. One patient returned to baseline by the day 7 follow-up visit.1,2

1% of patients taking CLENPIQ experienced vomiting.2

Patient compliance and tolerability were evaluated2†‡

Results from the Mayo Clinic Bowel Preparation Tolerability Questionnaire:

  • 99% of patients completed the majority of the CLENPIQ prep2§
  • 98% said they would be mostly or somewhat willing to take CLENPIQ again2
  • 90% felt that the tolerability of CLENPIQ was “easy” or “acceptable”2

†Trial Design: The efficacy and safety of CLENPIQ were evaluated in a randomized, multicenter, controlled, assessor-blinded trial. CLENPIQ® (sodium picosulfate, magnesium oxide, and anhydrous citric acid) Oral Solution (SPMC) was administered in a split-dose regimen against an oral powder (for reconstitution) (P/MC powder) and efficacy was evaluated using 2 different measurement scales.2

‡Subject compliance and tolerability with the bowel preparations were assessed by the validated Mayo Clinic Bowel Prep Tolerability Questionnaire, administered to patients on the day of their colonoscopies prior to the procedure.2

§Majority was defined as <25% of the bowel prep remaining after dosing.

Results from the questionnaire demonstrated that there was a high degree of tolerability and willingness to use CLENPIQ in the future2

Indication and Important Safety Information

Indication

CLENPIQ® oral solution is indicated for cleansing of the colon as a preparation for colonoscopy in adults and pediatric patients ages 9 years and older.

Important Safety Information

  • CLENPIQ is contraindicated in the following conditions: patients with severe reduced renal impairment (creatinine clearance less than 30mL/minute), gastrointestinal obstruction or ileus, bowel perforation, toxic colitis or toxic megacolon, gastric retention, or in patients with a known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients in CLENPIQ.
  • Patients should be advised to hydrate adequately (before, during and after use of CLENPIQ), and post-colonoscopy lab tests should be considered if a patient develops significant vomiting or signs of dehydration, including orthostatic hypotension, after taking CLENPIQ. Patients with electrolyte abnormalities should have them corrected before treatment. Use caution when prescribing CLENPIQ for patients that have conditions or are using medications that increase the risk for fluid and electrolyte disturbances.
  • Use caution in patients who have conditions, or are taking concomitant medications that increase the risk for seizures, such as those taking medications that lower the seizure threshold, patients withdrawing from alcohol or benzodiazepines or patients with known or suspected hyponatremia.
  • Use caution in patients with impaired renal function or taking medications that may affect renal function, as well as patients at increased risk of arrhythmias, including those patients with a history of prolonged QT, recent myocardial infarction, unstable angina, congestive heart failure, or cardiomyopathy.
  • Osmotic laxatives may produce colonic mucosal aphthous ulcerations and there have been reports of more serious cases of ischemic colitis requiring hospitalization. Concurrent use of additional stimulant laxatives with CLENPIQ may increase this risk.
  • Use with caution in patients with severe active ulcerative colitis.
  • Patients with impaired gag reflex are at risk for regurgitation or aspiration during administration of CLENPIQ. Observe these patients during administration of CLENPIQ.
  • The most common adverse reactions reported in a clinical trial with CLENPIQ for colon cleansing in adults were nausea, headache, hypermagnesemia, abdominal pain, and dehydration or dizziness. The most common adverse reactions reported in a clinical trial of another sodium picosulfate, magnesium oxide and anhydrous citric acid product for colon cleansing in pediatric patients aged 9 to 16 years were nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.
  • CLENPIQ can reduce the absorption of co-administered drugs. Do not take oral medications within one hour of starting CLENPIQ. Administer tetracycline and fluoroquinolone antibiotics, iron, digoxin, chlorpromazine and penicillamine, at least 2 hours before and not less than 6 hours after administration of CLENPIQ to avoid chelation with magnesium.

You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to FDA. Visit www.FDA.gov/medwatch, or call 800.FDA.1088.
