About this study

The primary objective is to evaluate corneal staining observed after 2 hours of wear with contact lenses with investigational coating against PureVision™ lenses, all pre-cycled with OPTI-FREE® RepleniSH® multi-purpose disinfection solution.

Read the detailed description

In this contralateral crossover study, qualifying subjects will wear a total of 2 pairs of study contact lenses. Lenses will be worn according to a randomized lens sequence assignment. Each pair will consist of a test lens (Test 1 or Test 2) and a control lens.

Being tested
Contact lens with investigational coating 1, Balafilcon A contact lens, OPTI-FREE® RepleniSH® MPDS, Contact lens with investigational coating 2

What is being measured

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

  1. Average Percent Area of Solution-related Corneal Staining

    Percent of solution-related corneal staining area was assessed first in each of the 5 corneal regions: central, superior, nasal, inferior, and temporal. The average of corneal staining area was then calculated as the average over all 5 regions. A higher percentage reflects more damage to the corneal surface. Both eyes contributed to the analysis. No hypotheses were formulated; no inferences were made and only descriptive statistics were used in the reporting.

    Measured: Day 1 after 2 hours of wear, each product

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Contact lens with investigational coating 1, Balafilcon A contact lens and OPTI-FREE® RepleniSH® MPDS in people with Refractive Errors and Ametropia, run by Alcon Research 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 6 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 18 Feb 2020. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 Feb 2020). 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?

Average Percent Area of Solution-related Corneal Staining (time frame: Day 1 after 2 hours of wear, each product). 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 18 Feb 2020.
