About this study

Miebo (Perfluorohexyloctane) is a novel, non-aqueous, single entity, preservative free, ophthalmic drop. This drop was recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of Meibomian Gland Disease (MGD).

All published data on Miebo has been done in non-contact lens wearers. As contact lens dropout rates seem to be an ongoing problem for practitioners, we are performing this study utilizing this novel new drug with contact lens patients to determine if the drops assist comfort in typical soft contact lens wearing patients. If the study determines that Miebo assists in the overall comfort of contact lens patients this could be a possible way to help keep patients in their contact lenses longer.

Read the detailed description

The study design is a single center, open label, double arm study with no control and no randomization. We will enroll 50 patients who are adjusted contact lens wearers who have corrected visual acuity of 20/25 or better at distance. 25 patients will be in daily disposable contact lens of varied manufacturers. The other 25 will be in monthly disposable contact lenses of varied manufacturers. Subjects will insert the Miebo eye drops four times a day, and with their contact lenses removed every day. Subjects will be required to wait at least 30 minutes before inserting their lenses after drop use. Subjects will be seen on day 0 for initial screening, on day 7 and finally on day 30. The window for visits on day 7 is +/-3 and for day 30 +/- 7 days. Visits on day 7 and 30 will be conducted at least one hour post Miebo insertion. Overall vision and comfort will be assessed during the study. The primary endpoint is to show that Miebo eye drops are safe to use in contact lens wearers. The secondary endpoint is to show changes in comfort in contact lens wearing individuals.

What participants receive

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

  • MieboDrug

    Subjects will be instructed to use the Miebo eye drop four times per day in both eyes during their participation in clinical trial. The subjects will be required to remove their contact lenses prior to instillation of the Miebo eye drop and must wait 30 minutes before reinserting their contact lenses.

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary outcome of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety of Miebo for contact lens wearers.

    This assessment will be conducted by comparing the total corneal fluorescein staining (tCFS) score for each participant before the initiation of Miebo usage and after one month of consistent use. The total corneal fluorescein staining (tCFS) score will allow quantitative assessment of the extent of damage or irregularities on the corneal surface if present. Safe use of Miebo will be determined by an increase of tCFS score for each eye of 10% or less compared to the baseline tCFS score.

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The secondary outcome of this clinical trial is to evaluate the tolerability of Miebo for contact lens wearers.

    This assessment will be conducted by comparing the results of the CLDEQ-8 (Contact Lens Dry Eye Questionnaire-8) for each participant before the initiation of Miebo usage and after one month of consistent use. The Contact Lens Dry Eye Questionnaire-8 (CLDEQ-8) is a standardized and validated questionnaire designed to assess the impact of dry eye symptoms specifically in individuals who wear contact lenses. This questionnaire serves as a valuable tool to quantify and understand the subjective experiences of contact lens wearers in relation to dry eye symptoms. Successful tolerability will be quantified by am increase in the total CLDEQ-8 score of 10% or less compared to the baseline CLDEQ-8 score.

    Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Miebo in people with Dry Eye and Dry Eye, Evaporative, run by Gordon Schanzlin New Vision 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 3 inclusion and 3 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 9 Apr 2024. 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?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

The primary outcome of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety of Miebo for contact lens wearers. (time frame: 30 days). 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 9 Apr 2024.
