What is being measured

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

  1. Visual acuity

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Ease of fit

    A participant was deemed to be successfully fit if they could insert/remove, handle and maintain study lenses by the 1-week visit and continued in the study.

    Measured: 1 week

  3. PREP score

    Measured: 3 months

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Lotrafilcon B contact lens, investigational, Lotrafilcon B contact lens, commercial (AIR OPTIX AQUA) and Lotrafilcon B multifocal contact lens, commercial (AIR OPTIX AQUA MULTIFOCAL) in people with Refractive Error, run by CIBA VISION at 1 site in Canada.

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 9 inclusion and 6 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 Nov 2016. 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 Canada. 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?

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?

Visual acuity (time frame: 3 months). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01233089, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Nov 2016.
