What is being measured

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

  1. Distance Visual Acuity

    This outcome measures vision while subjects are looking at objects in the distance and is measures in logMARs.logMAR is the logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution.The ideal is 0.0 and represents 20/20 Snellen acuity.logMAR values >0.00 indicate vision poorer than ideal and values<0.0 indicate vision greater than ideal

    Measured: after 1 week of wear

  2. Near Visual Acuity

    This outcome measures vision while subjects are looking at objects near to them and is measured in logMARs. logMAR is the logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution.The ideal is 0.0 and represents 20/20 Snellen acuity.logMAR values >0.00 indicate vision poorer than ideal and values<0.0 indicate vision greater than ideal.

    Measured: after 1 week wear

  3. Subject Vision

    Subjects responded to "How would you rate the overall quality of vision with these study contact lenses" using the following scale: 1=poor, 2=fair, 3=good, 4=very good, 5=excellent.

    Measured: after 1 week wear

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing balafilcon A and senofilcon A in people with Presbyopia, run by Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc. at 6 sites 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 11 inclusion and 10 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 21 May 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites 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 27 Jan 2010). 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?

Distance Visual Acuity (time frame: after 1 week of wear). The study lists 3 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 21 May 2015.
