Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that Lotrafilcon B AIR OPTIX® AQUA sphere modified design lenses are noninferior to Lotrafilcon B AIR OPTIX® AQUA in overall lens fit by comparing the percent of subjects satisfying the "no re-fit" criteria in each treatment group.

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of Subjects Satisfying the 'no Re-fit' Criteria in Both Eyes

    With the contact lens on eye, the investigator assessed the lens fit immediately post-blink and following lower lid margin push-up with the lower lid using a 5-point scale, where -2 = Unacceptably tight (reduced movement, unacceptable), -1 = Acceptably tight (reduced movement, acceptable), 0 = Optimal fit / movement, +1 = Acceptably loose (excessive movement, acceptable), and +2 = Unacceptably loose (excessive movement, unacceptable). To meet the definition of "no re-fit," an eye had to have an acceptable or optimal overall lens fit with the study lens, as well as be within 1 grade of the overall lens fit assessed with the habitual lens at baseline. Proportion of subjects is reported as a percentage.

    Measured: Dispense (Day 0), Week 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Lotrafilcon B sphere modified design contact lenses and Lotrafilcon B sphere 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 13 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 11 Aug 2015. 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 11 Aug 2015). 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?

Proportion of Subjects Satisfying the 'no Re-fit' Criteria in Both Eyes (time frame: Dispense (Day 0), Week 1). 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 11 Aug 2015.
