Study summary

This prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Escherichia coli 5C (Colipral®) in adult patients undergoing diagnostic colonoscopy. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either Colipral® or placebo for 14 days immediately after colonoscopy. The study aims to determine whether Colipral® reduces post-colonoscopy gastrointestinal symptoms compared with placebo, using validated symptom and stool assessment tools, patient-reported global improvement, and safety monitoring.
