| Primary | Evaluation of Mucosal Staining Efficacy | Mucosal staining efficacy of Methylene Blue MMX tablets after total oral doses of 150 or 200 mg.
Methylene blue staining efficacy was assessed by scoring the observed percentage of staining as reported below for each colon region (AC, TC, DC, RES) 0 - no staining - traces (poor traces in colon mucosa) - detectable (at least the 25% of colon mucosa is stained) - acceptable (at least the 50% of colon mucosa is stained) - good (at least the 75% of colon mucosa is stained) - over stained ( the 100% of the colon mucosa is over stained) After scoring (SC) separately each colonic segment, the total staining score (TSC) was also calculated and the number of regions with an SC>2 (NSA) was determined. For each patient, the best effective TSC was set at 16, when SC=4 was detected in all 4 regions. SC=5 detected in any region and TSC>16, both denoting an overstaining of the mucosa, were defined as suboptimal results in colon staining. |

| Secondary | Safety and Tolerability of Methylene Blue MMX as Determined by Vital Signs (Blood Pressure) | safety and tolerability of Methylene Blue MMX reviewed by incidence of treatment emergent by measurement of vital signs (blood pressure) | until study completion (until 2 days after dose) | |
| Secondary | Safety and Tolerability of Methylene Blue MMX as Determined by AEs | Safety and tolerability of Methylene Blue MMX® tablets after administration of total oral doses of 150 or 200 mg.AEs were assessed throughout the study. | Until study completion (until 2 days after dose) | |
| Secondary | Safety and Tolerability of Methylene Blue MMX as Determined by Heart Rate | incidence of treatment emergent by measurement of vital signs (heart rate) to determine Safety and Tolerability of Methylene Blue MMX | until study completion (until 2 days after dose) | |
| Secondary | Safety and Tolerability of Methylene Blue MMX as Determined by Vital Signs (Oxygen Saturation in Peripheral Blood) | safety and tolerability of Methylene Blue MMX reviewed by incidence of treatment emergent by measurement of vital signs (Oxygen Saturation in peripheral blood) | until study completion (until 2 days after dose) | |
| Secondary | Safety and Tolerability of Methylene Blue MMX as Determined Body Weight. | safety and tolerability of Methylene Blue MMX in relation to incidence of treatment emergent by body weight. | until study completion (until 2 days after dose) | |
| Secondary | Bowel Cleansing Quality-Boston Bowel Preparation Score | Bowel cleansing quality evaluated according to the validated Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS).
Colon was divided into 4 target regions: ascending colon (AC), transverse colon (TC), descending colon (DC) and rectosigmoid (RES). Methylene blue staining efficacy was assessed scoring the observed staining percentage as reported below for each colon region: 0 - no staining - traces (poor traces in colon mucosa) - detectable (at least the 25% of colon mucosa is stained) - acceptable (at least the 50% of colon mucosa is stained) - good (at least the 75% of colon mucosa is stained) - over stained ( the 100% of the colon mucosa is over stained) |
