A Safety and Efficacy Study of DCL-101 Compared to GoLYTELY

The primary objective of this Phase 2 Study was to compare the safety of 3 liter(L) and 4 liter(L) split dose DCL-101 to split dose 4L GoLYTELY in patients preparing for colonoscopy, with secondary objectives to assess tolerability and bowel cleansing efficacy.
