About this study

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of Opti-Free® PureMoist® Multi-Purpose Disinfecting Solution (MPDS) compared to Biotrue™ Multipurpose Solution (MPS) in silicone hydrogel contact lens wearers.

Read the detailed description

In this 2-period crossover study, eligible participants were randomized to either Opti-Free® PureMoist® Multi-Purpose Disinfecting Solution or Biotrue™ Multipurpose Solution in Period 1 for use with their habitual contact lenses, after which they switched to the alternate solution in Period 2. Each period was 30 days in length. A 2-day washout period during which participants refrained from using a multi-purpose contact lens solution preceded Period 1 and Period 2.

What is being measured

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

  1. Corneal Staining

    Corneal staining in both eyes was assessed during slit lamp examination using flourescein dye. Each of five corneal regions (central, nasal, temporal, inferior, and superior) was graded on a scale from 0 (none) to 4 (patch). The corneal fluorescein staining score was calculated as the total of the five regions. The score ranged from 0 (no staining in any region) to 20 (patch staining in all five regions). The corneal staining of the worse eye was analyzed.

    Measured: Day 30

  2. Change From Baseline in Corneal Staining at Day 30

    Corneal staining in both eyes was assessed during slit lamp examination using flourescein dye. Each of five corneal regions (central, nasal, temporal, inferior, and superior) was graded on a scale from 0 (none) to 4 (patch). The corneal fluorescein staining score was calculated as the total of the five regions. The score ranged from 0 (no staining in any region) to 20 (patch staining in all five regions). The corneal staining of the worse eye was analyzed.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0), Day 30

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Opti-Free® PureMoist® MPDS, Biotrue™ MPS and Habitual contact lenses in people with Myopia and Hyperopia, run by Alcon Research.

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 8 inclusion and 11 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 17 Apr 2014. 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 17 Apr 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: Day 30). The study lists 2 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 17 Apr 2014.
