PLENVU® (known as PLEINVUE™ in the Netherlands), is approved for use in Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, the Netherlands and in the UK. PLENVU® is available in the UK.
PLENVU® is a novel, low volume (1-litre) polyethylene glycol (PEG) 3350-based bowel preparation that has been developed by Norgine to provide whole bowel cleansing.
PLENVU® provides superior high-quality bowel cleansing efficacy (in at least one segment of the colon) compared to two widely used alternative bowel preparations: sodium picosulfate and magnesium salt solution (CITRAFLEET®) and 2-litre PEG with ascorbate (MOVIPREP®).[v]
The approval was based on data from the Phase III clinical trial programme, consisting of three multicentre, randomised, parallel group studies NOCT, MORA, and DAYB.
Norgine manufactures PLENVU® and commercialises the product through its infrastructure in Europe and Australia and through its commercial partners in the rest of the world.
