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.

The approvals were based on data from the Phase III clinical trial programme, consisting of three multicentre, randomised, parallel group studies: MORA, NOCT and DAYB studies.

PLENVU^® (NER1006) demonstrated an acceptable safety profile in the NOCT, MORA, and DAYB phase III studies.

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.
