What is being measured

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

  1. Corneal Staining

    Scale of 0 to 4; 0=None, 1=Trace, 2=Mild, 3=Moderate, 4=Severe. The subjects were assigned to senofilcon A toric/balafilcon A toric contralaterally or senofilcon A or balafilcon A lenses bilaterally.

    Measured: at 3 months of lens wear (period 1)

  2. Limbal Redness

    Scale of 0 to 4; 0=None, 1=Trace, 2=Mild, 3=Moderate, 4=Severe. The subjects were assigned to senofilcon A toric/balafilcon A toric contralaterally or senofilcon A or balafilcon A lenses bilaterally.

    Measured: at 3 months of lens wear (period 1)

  3. Bulbar Redness

    Scale of 0 to 4; 0=None, 1=Trace, 2=Mild, 3=Moderate, 4=Severe. The subjects were assigned to senofilcon A toric/balafilcon A toric contralaterally or senofilcon A or balafilcon A lenses bilaterally.

    Measured: at 3 months of lens wear (period 1)

  4. Tarsal Roughness

    Scale of 0 to 4; 0=None, 1=Trace, 2=Mild, 3=Moderate, 4=Severe. The subjects were assigned to senofilcon A toric/balafilcon A toric contralaterally or senofilcon A or balafilcon A lenses bilaterally.

    Measured: at 3 months of lens wear (period 1)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing senofilcon A toric contact lens and balafilcon A toric contact lens in people with Astigmatism, run by Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc. at 8 sites in 2 countries.

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 13 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 19 Jun 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in Australia, 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 25 Nov 2014). 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?

Corneal Staining (time frame: at 3 months of lens wear (period 1)). The study lists 4 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 19 Jun 2018.
