What is being measured

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

  1. Comfort on Insertion

    As interpreted and recorded by the participant on a questionnaire as a single, retrospective evaluation of 4 weeks of wear. Comfort on insertion was graded on a 10-point scale, with 1 being poor and 10 being excellent.

    Measured: 4 weeks

  2. Comfort During the Day

    As interpreted and recorded by the participant on a questionnaire as a single, retrospective evaluation of 4 weeks of wear. Comfort during the day was graded on a 10-point scale, with 1 being poor and 10 being excellent.

    Measured: 4 weeks

  3. Comfort at End of Day

    As interpreted and recorded by the participant on a questionnaire as a single, retrospective evaluation of 4 weeks of wear. Comfort at end of day was graded on a 10-point scale, with 1 being poor and 10 being excellent.

    Measured: 4 weeks

  4. Overall Comfort

    As interpreted and recorded by the participant on a questionnaire as a single, retrospective evaluation of 4 weeks of wear. Overall comfort was graded on a 10-point scale, with 1 being poor and 10 being excellent.

    Measured: 4 weeks

  5. Daytime Vision

    As interpreted and recorded by the participant on a questionnaire as a single, retrospective evaluation of 4 weeks of wear. Daytime vision was graded on a 10-point scale, with 1 being poor and 10 being excellent.

    Measured: 4 weeks

  6. Low Light Vision

    As interpreted and recorded by the participant on a questionnaire as a single, retrospective evaluation of 4 weeks of wear. Low light vision was graded on a 10-point scale, with 1 being poor and 10 being excellent.

    Measured: 4 weeks

  7. Handling on Insertion

    As interpreted and recorded by the participant on a questionnaire as a single, retrospective evaluation of 4 weeks of wear. Handling on insertion was graded on a 10-point scale, with 1 being difficult and 10 being easy.

    Measured: 4 weeks

  8. Handling at Removal

    As interpreted and recorded by the participant on a questionnaire as a single, retrospective evaluation of 4 weeks of wear. Handling at removal was graded on a 10-point scale, with 1 being difficult and 10 being easy.

    Measured: 4 weeks

  9. Delivers a Healthy, Natural Feeling

    As interpreted and recorded by the participant on a questionnaire as a single, retrospective evaluation of 4 weeks of wear. Delivers a healthy, natural feeling was graded on a 10-point scale, with 1 being poor and 10 being excellent.

    Measured: 4 weeks

  10. Lens Awareness

    As interpreted and recorded by the participant on a questionnaire as a single, retrospective evaluation of 4 weeks of wear. Lens awareness was graded on a 10-point scale, with 1 being very aware and 10 being not aware.

    Measured: 4 weeks

  11. Overall Satisfaction

    As interpreted and recorded by the participant on a questionnaire as a single, retrospective evaluation of 4 weeks of wear. Overall satisfaction was graded on a 10-point scale, with 1 being poor and 10 being excellent.

    Measured: 4 weeks

  12. Purchase Intent

    As interpreted and recorded by the participant on a questionnaire as a single, retrospective evaluation of 4 weeks of wear. The participant was asked, "How likely would you be to purchase these lenses?" Purchase intent was graded on a 5-point Likert scale: Definitely would purchase, probably would purchase, may or may not purchase, probably would not purchase, definitely would not purchase. The Top-2-box response (definitely would purchase, probably would purchase) was calculated and reported as a percentage of all responses.

    Measured: 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Lotrafilcon B contact lens (AIR OPTIX® AQUA), Balafilcon A contact lens (PureVision® 2) and Contact lens solution (Clear Care®) in people with Myopia, run by CIBA VISION.

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 5 inclusion and 8 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 10 Jul 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 9 May 2012). 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?

Comfort on Insertion (time frame: 4 weeks). The study lists 12 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 10 Jul 2012.
