About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Short-Term Corneal Endothelial Response to Wear of Toric Soft Contact Lenses in Asian Eyes

Evaluate the short-term corneal response of oxygen deprivation when using toric contact lenses. The response will be noted by endothelial bleb formation in both open eye and closed eye state.

Read the detailed description

Interested subjects who meet the entry criteria for the study will be scheduled for four sessions of approximately 30 minutes duration each. Informed consent obtained. Baseline measurements of visual acuity and corneal and conjunctival physiology will be recorded. An examination of the endothelium of the corneas will be conducted using the specular microscope, readings obtained at 5 locations on each cornea: one in the centre and one in each of the superior, inferior, nasal and temporal peripheral regions, approximately 2mm from the limbal margin. The assigned lenses will be inserted according to a fixed-allocation randomization schedule, where each session follows an optimized 2- period simultaneous crossover design, which specifies lenses to be used in each of the four sessions. Lenses will be worn for 20 minutes and then removed. Endothelial specular microscopy will be conducted at 20 minutes with the lenses on. A final evaluation of corneal and conjunctival physiology will be performed prior to subject clearance from the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Endothelial Bleb Areas on Cornea: Session A- Open Eye

    Mean area of endothelial blebs in the following corneal locations: Central, Nasal, Temporal, Inferior, Superior. A masked observer performed the analysis by subjectively selecting a region in a given image that provided an optimal balance of maximum area and clarity of cell outlines. Blebs were then outlined manually and the software calculated the area of blebs. The different sessions are reported showing results for each lens according to the lens worn in the contralateral (contra) eye.Open eye sessions simulated the subjects normal ocular behavior during waking hours; closed eye sessions simulated ocular activity during duration of closed eye activity, such as sleeping. Results are reported as the mean percent difference between the stated test (senofilcon A) and the control lens (alphafilcon A, lotrafilcon B), after 20 minutes of wear, for each testing scenario.

    Measured: 20 minutes post-lens insertion

  2. Endothelial Bleb Areas on Cornea: Session B- Closed Eye

    Mean area of endothelial blebs in the following corneal locations: Central, Nasal, Temporal, Inferior, Superior. A masked observer performed the analysis by subjectively selecting a region in a given image that provided an optimal balance of maximum area and clarity of cell outlines. Blebs were then outlined manually and the software calculated the area of blebs.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing alphafilcon A toric, lotrafilcon B toric and senofilcon A toric in people with Ametropia, run by Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc. at 1 site in Australia.

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 3 Mar 2017. 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 Australia. 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 3 Mar 2017). 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?

Endothelial Bleb Areas on Cornea: Session A- Open Eye (time frame: 20 minutes post-lens insertion). The study lists 4 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 3 Mar 2017.
