Trial summary

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of a novel silicone hydrogel contact lens, DAILIES TOTAL1® (DT1) compared to the standard hydrogel material in 1-DAY ACUVUE® MOIST® (1DAVM) contact lens in contact lens wearers identified as having contact lens-related dryness symptoms.

About this study

Official title: Impact of a Novel Silicone Hydrogel in Reducing Contact Lens-Related Dryness Symptoms in Existing Contact Lens Wearers

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of a novel silicone hydrogel contact lens, DAILIES TOTAL1® (DT1) compared to the standard hydrogel material in 1-DAY ACUVUE® MOIST® (1DAVM) contact lens in contact lens wearers identified as having contact lens-related dryness symptoms.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean Change From Baseline in Subjective Contact Lens-related Dryness Symptoms at Week 4 as Assessed by the CLDEQ

    Contact lens symptoms were evaluated using the Contact Lens and Dry Eye Questionnaire (CLDEQ). The participant indicated the frequency with which 9 common contact lens-related ocular surface dryness symptoms were experienced over the previous week. Each symptom was rated on a 5-point scale (1=never, 5=constantly). Both eyes contributed to the mean. A more negative change number indicates a greater perceived improvement, namely, lessening of the symptom.

    Measured: Day 0, Week 4

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Delefilcon A contact lenses and Etafilcon A contact lenses in people with Myopia, run by Alcon Research.

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 7 inclusion and 9 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 14 Jan 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 14 Jan 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?

Mean Change From Baseline in Subjective Contact Lens-related Dryness Symptoms at Week 4 as Assessed by the CLDEQ (time frame: Day 0, Week 4). 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 14 Jan 2014.
