5. Warnings and Precautions
5.1 Serious Fluid and Electrolyte Abnormalities
Advise patients to hydrate adequately before, during, and after the use of PLENVU. If a patient develops significant vomiting or signs of dehydration after taking PLENVU, consider performing post-colonoscopy laboratory tests (electrolytes, creatinine, and BUN).
Bowel Preparations can cause fluid and electrolyte disturbances, which can lead to serious adverse reactions including cardiac arrhythmias, seizures, and renal impairment. Correct fluid and electrolyte abnormalities before treatment with PLENVU. PLENVU should be used with caution in patients using concomitant medications that increase the risk of electrolyte abnormalities [such as diuretics, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs)] [see Drug Interactions (7.1)]. Consider performing pre-dose and post-colonoscopy laboratory tests (sodium, potassium, calcium, creatinine, and BUN) in patients receiving these concomitant medications.
5.2 Cardiac Arrhythmias
There have been rare reports of serious arrhythmias (including atrial fibrillation) associated with the use of ionic osmotic laxative products for bowel preparation. These occur predominantly in patients with underlying cardiac risk factors and electrolyte disturbances. Use caution when prescribing PLENVU for patients at increased risk of arrhythmias (e.g., patients with a history of prolonged QT, uncontrolled arrhythmias, recent myocardial infarction, unstable angina, congestive heart failure, cardiomyopathy or electrolyte imbalance). Consider pre-dose and post-colonoscopy ECGs in patients at increased risk of serious cardiac arrhythmias.
5.3 Seizures
There have been rare reports of generalized tonic-clonic seizures and/or loss of consciousness associated with use of bowel preparation products in patients with no prior history of seizures. The seizure cases were associated with electrolyte abnormalities (e.g., hyponatremia, hypokalemia, hypocalcemia, and hypomagnesemia) and low serum osmolality. The neurologic abnormalities resolved with correction of fluid and electrolyte abnormalities.
Use caution when prescribing PLENVU for patients with a history of seizures and in patients at increased risk of seizure, such as patients taking medications that lower the seizure threshold (e.g., tricyclic antidepressants), patients withdrawing from alcohol or benzodiazepines, or patients with known or suspected hyponatremia. [see Drug Interactions (7.1)].
5.4 Use in Patients with Renal Impairment
Use PLENVU with caution in patients with renal impairment or patients taking concomitant medications that affect renal function (such as diuretics, ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) [see Drug Interactions (7.1)]. These patients may be at risk for renal injury. Advise these patients of the importance of adequate hydration before, during and after the use of PLENVU, and consider performing pre-dose and post-colonoscopy laboratory tests (electrolytes, creatinine, and BUN) in these patients [see Use in Specific Populations (8.6)].
5.5 Colonic Mucosal Ulceration, Ischemic Colitis and Ulcerative Colitis
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 stimulant laxatives and PLENVU may increase the risk and is not recommended. Consider the potential for mucosal ulcerations resulting from the bowel preparation when interpreting colonoscopy findings in patients with known or suspected inflammatory bowel disease.
5.6 Use in Patients with Significant Gastrointestinal Disease
If gastrointestinal obstruction or perforation is suspected, perform appropriate diagnostic studies to rule out these conditions before administering PLENVU [see Contraindications (4)]. Use with caution in patients with severe ulcerative colitis.
5.7 Aspiration
Patients with impaired gag reflex or other swallowing abnormalities are at risk for regurgitation or aspiration of PLENVU. Observe these patients during the administration of PLENVU. Use with caution in these patients.
Do not combine PLENVU with starch-based thickeners [see Dosage and Administration (2.1)]. Polyethylene glycol (PEG), a component of PLENVU, when mixed with starch- thickened liquids reduces the viscosity of the starch-thickened liquid. When a PEG- based product used for another indication was mixed in starch-based pre-thickened liquids used in patients with dysphagia, thinning of the liquid occurred and cases of choking and potential aspiration were reported.
5.8 Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) Deficiency
Since PLENVU contains sodium ascorbate and ascorbic acid, PLENVU should be used with caution in patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, especially G6PD deficiency patients with an active infection, with a history of hemolysis, or taking concomitant medications known to precipitate hemolytic reactions.
5.9 Risks in Patients with Phenylketonuria
Phenylalanine can be harmful to patients with phenylketonuria (PKU). PLENVU contains phenylalanine, a component of aspartame. Each PLENVU treatment contains 491 mg of phenylalanine. Before prescribing PLENVU to a patient with PKU, consider the combined daily amount of phenylalanine from all sources, including PLENVU.
5.10 Hypersensitivity Reactions
PLENVU contains PEG and may cause serious hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis, angioedema, rash, urticaria, and pruritus [see Adverse Reactions (6.1, 6.2)]. Inform patients of the signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis, and instruct them to seek immediate medical care should signs and symptoms occur.
6. Adverse Reactions/Side Effects
The following serious or otherwise important adverse reactions for bowel preparations are described elsewhere in the labeling:
- •
- Serious Fluid and Electrolyte Abnormalities [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]

6.1 Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
The safety of PLENVU as a Two-Day Split-Dosing and One-Day Morning Dosing Regimen was evaluated in two randomized, parallel group, multicenter, investigator-blinded clinical trials (Two-Day Split-Dosing in the NOCT and MORA trials and One-Day Morning Dosing in the MORA trial) in 1351 adult patients undergoing colonoscopy. The mean age of the study population was 56 years (range 18 to 86 years), 92% of patients were Caucasian and 51% were female. In the NOCT trial, 61% of patients had mild renal impairment. In the MORA trial, 67% had mild renal impairment and 5% had moderate renal impairment. Patients with severe renal impairment were not enrolled in the clinical trials of PLENVU [see Clinical Studies (14)].
The most common adverse reactions (>2%) in the PLENVU treatment groups in both trials were: nausea, vomiting, dehydration and abdominal pain/discomfort.
Table 1 and Table 2 display adverse reactions reported in at least 1% of patients in one or more treatment group(s) in the NOCT and MORA trials, respectively. Since diarrhea was considered as a part of the efficacy assessment, it was not defined as an adverse reaction in these trials.

Electrolyte Changes
Increases in serum sodium, chloride, calcium, magnesium, phosphate, and urate were noted in more patients treated with PLENVU compared with control in one or both trials. The majority of these changes were transient and not clinically significant. Associated decreases in bicarbonate and increases in serum osmolality were also noted.
Renal Function
Decreases in creatinine clearance and increases in blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were also noted in more patients treated with PLENVU compared to control in both trials. Changes of a magnitude indicative of possible acute renal injury, or worsening of baseline chronic renal impairment, were noted infrequently and occurred at a similar incidence in both PLENVU and comparator arms.
Adverse reactions in patients with mild renal impairment were similar to those in patients with normal renal function.
Less Common Adverse Reactions
Less common adverse reactions (less than 1%) in the NOCT and MORA trials include: anorectal discomfort, hypersensitivity reaction (including rash), migraine, somnolence, asthenia, chills, pains, aches, palpitation, sinus tachycardia, hot flush, and transient increase in liver enzymes.
An additional 235 patients were exposed to the One-Day Morning Dosing Regimen of PLENVU in a third clinical trial, utilizing a comparator not approved in the United States. The adverse reaction profile for patients receiving PLENVU in that trial was similar to what is described above.
6.2 Postmarketing Experience
The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of another oral formulation of polyethylene glycol 3350, sodium ascorbate, sodium sulfate, ascorbic acid, sodium chloride and potassium chloride or other polyethylene glycol (PEG)-based bowel preparations. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
Hypersensitivity: urticaria/rash, pruritus, dermatitis, rhinorrhea dyspnea, chest and throat tightness, fever, angioedema, anaphylaxis and anaphylactic shock [see Contraindications (4)]
Cardiovascular: arrhythmia, atrial fibrillation, peripheral edema, asystole, and acute pulmonary edema after aspiration
Gastrointestinal: upper gastrointestinal bleeding from a Mallory-Weiss tear, esophageal perforation [usually with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)]
Nervous system: tremor, seizure
7. Drug Interactions
7.1 Drugs That May Increase Risks Due to Fluid and Electrolyte Abnormalities
Use caution when prescribing PLENVU for patients with conditions and/or who are using medications that increase the risk of fluid and electrolyte disturbances or may increase the risk of renal impairment, seizures, arrhythmias, or QT prolongation in the setting of fluid and electrolyte abnormalities [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4)].
Consider additional patient evaluations as appropriate.
8. Use In Specific Populations
8.1 Pregnancy
Risk Summary
There are no available data with PLENVU in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk for adverse developmental outcomes. Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with PLENVU.
The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively.
8.2 Lactation
Risk Summary
There are no data available to assess the presence of PLENVU in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child or the effects on milk production. The lack of clinical data during lactation precludes a clear determination of the risk of PLENVU to a child during lactation; therefore, the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for PLENVU and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from PLENVU or from the underlying maternal condition.
8.4 Pediatric Use
The safety and effectiveness of PLENVU in pediatric patients has not been established.
8.5 Geriatric Use
Of the approximately 1000 patients in clinical trials receiving PLENVU, 217 (21%) patients were over 65 years of age. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between geriatric patients and younger patients, and other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between geriatric patients and younger patients. However, elderly patients are more likely to have decreased hepatic, renal or cardiac function and may be more susceptible to adverse reactions resulting from fluid and electrolyte abnormalities [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].
8.6 Renal Impairment
Use PLENVU with caution in patients with renal impairment or patients taking concomitant medications that may affect renal function [see Drug Interactions (7.1)]. These patients may be at risk for renal injury. Advise these patients of the importance of adequate hydration before, during and after the use of PLENVU, and consider performing baseline and post-colonoscopy laboratory tests (electrolytes, creatinine, and BUN) in these patients [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)].
10. Overdosage
Overdosage of more than the recommended dose of PLENVU may lead to severe electrolyte disturbances, as well as dehydration and hypovolemia, with signs and symptoms of these disturbances [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]. Monitor for fluid and electrolyte disturbances and treat symptomatically.
11. Plenvu Description
The active ingredients contained in PLENVU are provided in Table 3.
PLENVU (polyethylene glycol 3350, sodium ascorbate, sodium sulfate, ascorbic acid, sodium chloride and potassium chloride for oral solution) is an osmotic laxative consisting of three pouches (one for Dose 1, one for Dose 2 Pouch A and one for Dose 2 Pouch B) containing white to yellow powder for reconstitution.
Dose 1 contains 100 grams of PEG 3350, 9 grams of sodium sulfate, 2 grams of sodium chloride, and 1 gram of potassium chloride, and the following excipients: sucralose, encapsulated citric acid and mango flavoring. When Dose 1 is dissolved in water to a volume of 16 fluid ounces, PLENVU Dose 1 (PEG 3350, sodium sulfate, sodium chloride and potassium chloride) is an oral solution having a mango flavor.
Each Dose 2 Pouch A contains 40 grams of PEG 3350, 3.2 grams of sodium chloride, and 1.2 grams of potassium chloride, and the following excipients: aspartame and fruit punch flavoring.
Each Dose 2 Pouch B contains 48.11 grams of sodium ascorbate and 7.54 grams of ascorbic acid.
When Dose 2 Pouch A and Dose 2 Pouch B are dissolved together in water to a volume of 16 fluid ounces, PLENVU Dose 2 (sodium ascorbate, PEG 3350, ascorbic acid, sodium chloride and potassium chloride) is an oral solution having a fruit punch flavor.
The entire, reconstituted, 32 fluid ounces of PLENVU bowel preparation contains 140 grams of PEG 3350, 48.11 grams of sodium ascorbate, 9 grams of sodium sulfate, 7.54 grams of ascorbic acid, 5.2 grams of sodium chloride and 2.2 grams of potassium chloride and the following excipients: aspartame, sucralose, encapsulated citric acid, mango and fruit punch flavorings.
A mixing container for reconstitution is enclosed.
Phenylketonurics: Contains Phenylalanine 491 mg per treatment.
Contains no ingredient made from a gluten-containing grain (wheat, barley, or rye).
12. Plenvu - Clinical Pharmacology
12.1 Mechanism of Action
The primary mode of action is osmotic action of the components of PLENVU (PEG 3350 plus sodium sulfate components in Dose 1, and sodium ascorbate and ascorbic acid plus PEG 3350 components in Dose 2) which induce the laxative effect. The physiological consequence is increased water retention in the lumen of the colon, resulting in loose stools.
12.2 Pharmacodynamics
The osmotic effect of the unabsorbed PEG, ascorbate and sulfate ions, when ingested, produces a copious watery diarrhea.
The first bowel movement may happen about 1 to 2 hours after the start of PLENVU intake.
12.3 Pharmacokinetics
The plasma pharmacokinetic parameters for PEG 3350, ascorbate and sulfate are shown in Table 4.
SD = standard deviation; Cmax = maximum concentration; tmax = time to maximum concentration from start of dosing; AUC(0-tlast) = area under the curve from t0 to tlast; Vd = volume of distribution; t1/2 = half-life. | |||

A pharmacokinetic study measured up to 69% of a 50 grams oral ascorbate dose in excreted feces and up to 5% of the 50 grams oral ascorbate dose is recovered in the urine (with up to 0.07% as the ascorbate metabolite, oxalic acid).
Sulfate is endogenous and also present in the diet. A pharmacokinetic study measured up to 69% to 73% of a 9 grams oral sodium sulfate dose in excreted feces, with approximately 43% recovered in the urine.
14. Clinical Studies
Study Design
The colon cleansing efficacy, safety and tolerability of PLENVU was evaluated in two randomized, parallel-group, multicenter, investigator-blinded trials in adult patients scheduled to undergo a screening, surveillance, or diagnostic colonoscopy. The overall patient population consisted of 49% male and 51% female patients, mean age of 56 years (range 18 to 86 years), 92% Caucasian, 5% Black and 2% Asian. In general, the demographic characteristics were balanced across the trials.
In Study NER1006-01/2014 (referred to as NOCT; NCT02254486) and Study NER1006-02/2014 (referred to as MORA; NCT02273167), the bowel cleansing efficacy of PLENVU was compared to two different comparators (Table 5) using two different PLENVU dosing regimen(s):
- •
- PLENVU Two-Day Split-Dosing Regimen allows for an overnight gap between doses (Dose 1 taken in the evening before the colonoscopy, between approximately 4 pm and 8 pm, and Dose 2 the next morning, on the day of the colonoscopy, approximately 12 hours after the start of Dose 1).
- •
- PLENVU One-Day Morning Dosing Regimen gives both doses the morning of the day of colonoscopy (Dose 1 between approximately 3 am and 7 am, and Dose 2 a minimum of 2 hours after the start of Dose 1).

Primary Endpoint
The primary efficacy endpoint in both trials was the proportion of patients achieving “overall bowel cleansing success,” which was defined by a result of Grade A or B (Grades A or B [see Table 6] corresponding to full visualization of the bowel mucosa on the Harefield Cleansing Scale [HCS]), as assessed on withdrawal of colonoscope. The HCS segmental scores were initially evaluated by the colonoscopist at the site, who was blinded to treatment, and evaluated for endpoint analysis by central readers (gastroenterologists) using video recordings of the colonoscopy.

Statistical Analysis
The modified Intent-to-Treat (mITT) population was used as the primary population for the efficacy analyses and was defined as all randomized patients with the exception of any patient who (i) was randomized but subsequently failed to meet entry criteria and (ii) in whom it was confirmed (from their patient diary) that the same patient did not receive any study drug.
Non-inferiority was assessed using a one-sided 97.5% confidence interval (CI) for the difference in proportions of patients for the overall bowel cleansing success endpoint. Non-inferiority was demonstrated if the difference between PLENVU and the comparator was above the predefined non-inferiority margin set at -10%.
Efficacy Results
The results for the overall bowel cleansing success endpoint in the mITT population in NOCT are shown in Table 7. The Two-Day Split-Dosing regimen of PLENVU was shown to be non-inferior (NI) to the trisulfate solution comparator.
