About this study

Official title: Cosmetic Validation (US): AIR OPTIX® COLORS Among Habitual Wearers of FRESHLOOK®

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the cosmetic performance of AIR OPTIX® COLORS contact lenses compared to FRESHLOOK® COLORBLENDS contact lenses in habitual FRESHLOOK® COLORBLENDS contact lens wearers.

Read the detailed description

In this non-dispensing trial, each participant wore 4 pairs of color contact lenses (gray, blue, green, hazel) sequentially for less than 10 minutes each in a contralateral fashion (test lens in one eye, control lens in the other eye). Randomization took place for each of the 4 pairs of lenses as to which eye (left or right) wore the test and which wore the control. Participants were selected based on eye color (dark vs light/medium). The primary analysis population (AP1) was pre-specified as participants of any eye color who habitually wore FRESHLOOK® COLORBLENDS lenses in one of the four colors tested in this trial. Pair 1 lenses were dispensed per the participant's habitual lens color.

Being tested
Lotrafilcon B contact lens with color, Phemfilcon A contact lens with color

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Preference

    The participant compared Pair 1 study lenses on eye and indicated overall preference using a 4-point Likert scale (prefer lens in the left eye, prefer lens in the right eye, no preference, or both eyes are equal). Overall preference is reported as the percentage of participants who preferred the study lens. Each lens was assessed separately. This outcome measure was pre-specified for Analysis Population 1 (AP1).

    Measured: Day 1, 2-10 minutes after lens insertion

  2. Initial Comfort Preference

    The participant compared the initial comfort (way it feels) of Pair 1 study lenses and indicated preference using a 4-point Likert scale (prefer lens in the left eye, prefer lens in the right eye, no preference, or both eyes are equal). Initial comfort preference is reported as the percentage of participants who preferred the study lens. Each lens was assessed separately. This outcome measure was pre-specified for Analysis Population 1 (AP1).

    Measured: Day 1, 2 minutes after lens insertion

  3. Appearance Preference

    The participant compared the appearance (way it looks) of Pair 1 study lenses on eye and indicated preference using a 4-point Likert scale (prefer lens in the left eye, prefer lens in the right eye, no preference, or both eyes are equal). Appearance preference is reported as the percentage of participants who preferred the study lens. Each lens was assessed separately. This outcome measure was pre-specified for Analysis Population 1 (AP1).

    Measured: Day 1, 2-10 minutes after lens insertion

  4. Subjective Rating of Initial Comfort

    The participant compared the initial comfort (way it feels) of Pair 1 study lenses and rated initial comfort using a 10-point scale (1=poor, 10=excellent). Each lens was assessed separately. This outcome measure was pre-specified for Analysis Population 1 (AP1).

    Measured: Day 1, 2 minutes after lens insertion

  5. Percent Positive Responses: Cosmetic Appearance (Strongly Agree, Agree)

    The participant compared the cosmetic appearance of Pair 1 study lenses on eye and answered 9 appearance-related questions using a 4-point Likert scale (strongly agree, agree, disagree, strongly disagree). The combined percentage of the top two responses (strongly agree, agree) is reported for each question. Each lens was assessed separately. This outcome measure was pre-specified for Analysis Population 1 (AP1).

    Measured: Day 1, 2-10 minutes after lens insertion

  6. Percent Positive Purchase Intent (Definitely Would Buy, Probably Would Buy)

    The participant compared Pair 1 study lenses and indicated purchase intent by answering the following question, "Assuming these lenses were at a price you would expect to pay, how likely would you be to purchase these lenses?" using a 5-point Likert scale (definitely would buy, probably would buy, might or might not buy, probably would not buy, definitely would not buy). The combined percentage of the top two responses (definitely would buy, probably would buy) is reported. Each lens was assessed separately. This outcome measure was pre-specified for Analysis Population 1 (AP1).

    Measured: Day 1, 2-10 minutes after lens insertion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Lotrafilcon B contact lens with color and Phemfilcon A contact lens with color in people with Cosmetic Appearance, run by CIBA VISION.

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 4 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 28 Mar 2014. 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 28 Mar 2014). 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?

Overall Preference (time frame: Day 1, 2-10 minutes after lens insertion). The study lists 6 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 28 Mar 2014.
