About this study

Official title: Evaluation Of A New Disposable Contact Lens Patient Interface For The Lensx Laser In Cataract And Corneal Surgery

The objective of this study is to evaluate the ease of use of a modified, disposable contact lens and suction ring assembly.

Read the detailed description

This will be a prospective, single center clinical trial of up to 300 consecutive eyes of subjects scheduled to undergo ocular surgery requiring an initial incision, specifically, cataract surgery. Subjects will be screened for eligibility. Eligible subjects will be examined preoperatively to establish a baseline for ocular condition.

Subjects will undergo unilateral cataract surgery using the LenSx Laser for one or a combination of the following laser procedures: anterior capsulotomy, laser lens phacofragmentation and corneal incision with implantation of an intraocular lens (IOL). Surgeon and staff comments will be solicited for ergonomic and packaging features of the new disposable contact lens. Subjects will be evaluated intraoperatively to assess comfort of the new disposable contact lens, as well as the completion of anterior capsulotomy, laser lens phacofragmentation and completion of corneal incisions. All patients will be evaluated postoperatively at one day, one week and 1 month to follow the condition of the surgical eye. Further follow up can be performed at the discretion of the surgeon.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • LenSx Laser modified disposable contact lensDevice

    Modified Disposable Contact Lens Patient Interface: Like the current disposable contact lens, a single unit is used for each procedure only once, and is then discarded. It is similarly mounted onto the distal end of the system's focusing objective and serves as a sterile barrier between the patient and the laser. In place of a separate suction ring that is used in the current contact lens, the modified contact lens has an integrated suction ring and curved applanation surface. These features result in significantly lower elevation of intraocular pressure and significantly easier application by the surgeon in preliminary testing. Identical to the current contact lens, the suction ring is applied around the patient's limbus and mild suction is applied to stabilize the eye.

What is being measured

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

  1. Disposable contact lens successfully applied to the eye

    Was the Contact Lens successfully applied to the eye? Yes or No.

    Measured: Intraoperative (Day 0)

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Surgical evaluation of Corneal Incision

    Was the corneal incision complete?

    Measured: Intraoperative (Day 0)

  2. Standard Outcomes Measurements

    Standard measurements of Visual Acuity, Manifest Refraction, Slit Lamp Examination, Fundus Examination, Intraocular pressure, Complications and Adverse Events

    Measured: Pre-operative (Day -60 to Day -1)

  3. Surgical evaluation of capsulotomy

    Was capsulotomy complete? Yes or No.

    Measured: Intraoperative (Day 0)

  4. Surgical evaluation of fragmentation

    Was lens fragmentation complete? Yes or No.

    Measured: Intraoperative (Day 0)

  5. Standard outcomes measurement

    Standard measurements of Visual Acuity, Manifest Refraction, Slit Lamp Examination, Fundus Examination, Intraocular pressure, Complications and Adverse Events

    Measured: 1 week (5 to 10 days post operative)

  6. Standard outcomes measurement

    Standard measurements of Visual Acuity, Manifest Refraction, Slit Lamp Examination, Fundus Examination, Intraocular pressure, Complications and Adverse Events

    Measured: 1 day (24 to 48 hours postoperative)

  7. Standard outcomes measurement

    Standard measurements of Visual Acuity, Manifest Refraction, Slit Lamp Examination, Fundus Examination, Intraocular pressure, Complications and Adverse Events

    Measured: 1 month (21 to 42 days postoperative)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing LenSx Laser modified disposable contact lens in people with Cataract and Corneal Disease, run by LenSx Lasers Inc. at 1 site 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 4 inclusion and 10 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 22 Oct 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Disposable contact lens successfully applied to the eye (time frame: Intraoperative (Day 0)). 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 22 Oct 2014.
