  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • The subject must be at least 18 and less than or equal to 39 years of age and have a need for vision correction in both eyes.
  • The subject must require a lens power between -1.00 to -6.00D and have no more than 1.00D of corneal cylinder.
  • The subject, based on his/her knowledge, must be in good general health.
  • The subject must be able and willing to adhere to the instructions set forth in this protocol and complete all specified evaluations.
  • Subject must be a current adapted daily wearer of soft contact lenses with at least 6 months of CL wear.
  • Subject must agree to wear their contact lenses in both eyes on a daily wear schedule for at least 8 hours per day every day during the study.
  • Subject must be willing and able to use only the care systems and lubricating drops provided for the study during the 4 week period.
  • The subject must read, indicate understanding of and sign the Informed Consent Form.

Who cannot join

  • The subject is a rigid gas permeable (RGP) or daily disposable lens wearer.
  • The presence of clinically significant (grade 3 or 4) anterior segment abnormalities; inflammations such as iritis; or any infection of the eye, lids or associated structures.
  • The presence of ocular or systemic disease or need for medication which might interfere with contact lens wear or which would cause the lenses to be removed more than twice a day. (i.e., Sjogren's syndrome, type II diabetes, etc.)
  • Slit lamp findings that would contraindicate contact lens wear such as:
  • pathological dry eye or associated findings
  • pterygium or corneal scars within the visual axis
Show all 17Show fewer
  • neovascularization equal to or greater than 1mm in from the limbus
  • history of giant papillary conjunctivitis (GPC) worse than grade 2
  • anterior uveitis or iritis (past or present)
  • seborrhoeic eczema
  • seborrhoeic conjunctivitis
  • A history of recurrent erosions, corneal infiltrates, corneal ulcer or fungal infections.
  • A known history of corneal hypoesthesia (reduced corneal sensitivity).
  • Contact lens snellen visual acuities (VA) worse than 20/30.
  • Aphakia, keratoconus or a highly irregular cornea.
  • Current pregnancy or lactation (to the best of the subject's knowledge)
  • Any active participation in another clinical study at any time during this study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Lens Comfort

    >0 = comfortable, <0 = uncomfortable; a weighted combined score calculated from individual comfort-related questions was used to derive comfort outcomes.

    Measured: 1-week, 2- weeks

  2. Comfort Symptoms

    A weighted combined score calculated from individual comfort-related questions was used to derive comfort outcomes. >0 = comfortable, <0 = uncomfortable

    Measured: 1-week, 2-weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Overall Corneal Staining

    Measured for 5 zones of the cornea (superior, nasal, central, inferior, temporal)on a 0 to 3 grade scale (NEI 0-3 scale). Grade 0 = Normal/ grade 1 = mild, superficial stippling/ grade 2 = moderate, punctate staining including superficial abrasion of the cornea/ grade 3 = severe, abrasion or corneal erosion, deep corneal abrasion or recurrent erosion.

    Measured: 2 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing galyfilcon A and comfilcon A in people with Refractive Error, run by Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc..

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 17 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 19 Jun 2018. 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 10 Feb 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?

Lens Comfort (time frame: 1-week, 2- weeks). 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 19 Jun 2018.
