Show all 9Show fewer
  • Have a best corrected manifest refraction visual acuity of at least 20/25 or better in each eye.
  • Be in good general health, based on his/her knowledge.
  • Must be given an explanation of the study objectives, lens and solutions usage requirements and visit schedule. The subject must read, indicate understanding of and agree to begin participation in the clinical study. The subject must then sign the Informed Consent Form in the presence of the Investigator or their designee.

Who cannot join

  • Presbyopic or has the need for a near add for reading.
  • Previous refractive surgery; current or previous orthokeratology treatment.
  • Aphakia, keratoconus or a highly irregular cornea.
  • The presence of ocular or systemic disease or has the need for medication (ocular or systemic) which might interfere with contact lens wear or which would cause the lenses to be removed more than twice a day. (e.g., Sjögren's syndrome, type II diabetes, allergies).
  • A known history of corneal hypoesthesia (reduced corneal sensitivity.)
  • Anterior uveitis or iritis (past or present).
Show all 16Show fewer
  • A history of recurrent erosions, corneal infiltrates corneal ulcer or fungal infections.
  • Clinically significant (grade 3 or 4) anterior segment abnormalities; inflammations or infections of the eye, eyelids, or associated structures.
  • Slit lamp findings that would contraindicate contact lens wear such as:
  • Pathological dry eye or associated findings
  • Pterygium or corneal scars within the visual axis
  • Neovascularization >1mm in from the limbus
  • History of giant papillary conjunctivitis (GPC) worse than Grade 2
  • Meibomian gland dysfunction, blepharitis, or seborrhoeic dermatitis
  • Current pregnancy or lactation (to the best of the subject's knowledge).

About this study

Official title: A Multi-Center, Subject Masked, Randomized, Two Week Crossover Design, Investigation of the Acuvue Cypress Toric Silicone Hydrogel Lens Compared to the Bausch & Lomb SofLens66® Toric Hydrophilic Lens

The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the clinical performance of two toric contact lenses amongst 110 subjects, 2-week, single masked (subject), daily wear, randomized, bilateral, crossover study; 4 weeks duration. Hypotheses include equal or better performance of the test lens over the control lenses for comfort, vision, and toric fit characteristics as well as corneal integrity

Read the detailed description

Up to 7 sites in the US will participate. Each investigator will have both test and control lens types. There will be a maximum of 6 scheduled visits:

Visit 1: Habitual lens evaluation / Baseline / Trial fitting Visit 2: Dispensing (to be combined with Visit 1 where possible), Visit 3: Questionnaire only (no exam) 7 days (±2) after dispensing, Visit 4: 2 week follow-up 14 days (±3) after dispensing, and dispense second lens type, Visit 5: Questionnaire only (no exam) 7 days (±2) after 2nd lens dispense, Visit 6: 2 week follow-up 14 days (±3) after 2nd lens dispense

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Lens Orientation Within 5 Degrees

    Number of eyes with lens orientation within 5 degrees of optimal orientation within 1 minute of contact lens insertion.

    Measured: 1 minute after insertion

  2. Lens Stability

    Number of eyes with the amount of rotation induced from a blink within 5 degrees of settled orientation.

    Measured: 10-15 minutes after insertion

  3. Subjective Lens Comfort

    A weighted combined score calculated from individual comfort-related questions asked on a 1-5 scale: 1=most negative response to 5=most positive response, was used to derive comfort outcomes. The analysis shows the difference in outcome between the test and control. >0=comfortable, <0=uncomfortable.

    Measured: 1 and 2 weeks

  4. Subjective Vision

    A weighted combined score calculated from individual vision-related questions asked on a 1-5 scale: 1=most negative response to 5=most positive response, was used to derive vision outcomes. The analysis shows the difference in outcome between the test and control. >0=satisfactory vision, <0=unsatisfactory vision.

    Measured: 1 and 2 weeks

  5. Overall Corneal Staining

    Corneal staining measured using the National Eye Institute grading scale of grade 0 = normal, grade 1 = mild, grade 2 = moderate, grade 3 = severe.

    Measured: after 2 weeks use

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing senofilcon A toric and alphafilcon A toric in people with Ametropia, run by Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc. at 7 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 16 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 May 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Jul 2010). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Lens Orientation Within 5 Degrees (time frame: 1 minute after insertion). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 May 2015.
