Aims A survey assessed real-world patient experience and treatment satisfaction in US adults who received 1L polyethylene glycol (PEG) NER1006 (PLENVU).
Methods Patients from US community gastroenterology practices completed an online survey within 2 weeks post-colonoscopy. Questions covered patient history of colonoscopy and prior bowel preparation(s) prescribed, experience during administration of PLENVU, and patient satisfaction with the bowel preparation process. Nine-point grading scales captured the ease of preparation and consumption; importance of volume requirement; and patient satisfaction. Results are presented descriptively.
Results Among 1630 enrolled patients from 707 health care providers, 1606 underwent colonoscopy (male/female/NA 34.9%/62.5%/2.6%, mean age 54.4 years). 74.7% patients had no family history of colon cancer, 62.6% had previous colonoscopy, and 64.8% were having a screening colonoscopy. Among 1598 patients who completed the survey Sept-2018 to Feb-2019, 91.6% took PLENVU as overnight split dosing and 8.4% in morning of colonoscopy. Nearly all (97.6%) consumed all or most of their treatment ([Table]). The low total required ingestion volume of PLENVU was at least medium important for 93.2% patients. Among the 1005 patients with previous bowel prep experience 89.5% were at least moderately and 62.5% were very satisfied with PLENVU overall. Most, 65.3%, stated a much better or better experience with PLENVU versus bowel preps they had previously used.
Conclusions This first real world patient experience survey for PLENVU showed that patient experience with PLENVU was favourable and adherence was high. The majority of patients were very/moderately satisfied with the overall experience and found it much better/better than other bowel preparations used.
