Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 65 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • The participant must be at leat 18 years old or older and no greater than 65 years old. Children younger than18 will likely no be able to come back and forth to the clinic during the typical work week as outlined in the above (due to school schedules) and thus not be able to adhere to the protocol.
  • The participant must be a current soft contact lens wearer who routinely wears lenses at least 6-8 hours per day and at least 4 days per week for at least the past 3 months.
  • Refraction suitable for spherical soft contact lens powers between -1.00 and -6.00 D the participant must be correctable to 20/30 or better at distance with both eyes with dispensed contact lenses.
  • The participant must be free of any active anterior segment disorders that would preclude safe contact lens wear. Active anterior segment disorders and evidence of central microbial keratitis are not allowed. However, evidence of past CLPU will be allowed so long as no more than 3 such scars are detected bilaterally. Evidence of more than 3 CLPU-like scars places excessive risk on the participant for subsequent CIE.
  • The participant must be correctable to 20/25 or better in each eye with spectacles. Amblyopia will be excluded.
  • Flat and steep corneal curvatures from keratometry readings must be between 39.00 and 48.50 D, respectively. Corneal curvatures outside this range may be indicative of a disease state, and the participants are not expected to comfortably wear the study lenses.
  • The participant must own or agree to purchase a pair of spectacles that can be worn when lenses are removed, during the washout periods, or in case of ocular discomfort or emergency.

Who cannot join

  • The participant has worn rigid gas permeable contact lenses within the last 30 days or PMMA lenses within the past 12 months. These lenses can transiently alter the corneal shape and influence the fitting of soft contact lenses or alter endothelial cell morphology.
  • The participant has an immunocompromising disease or any other systemic disease that in the investigator's opinion will affect ocular health or increase risk during daily contact lens wear.
  • The participant is taking any medication that in the investigator's opinion will affect ocular physiology or study participation.
  • The participant has an ocular disease or condition such as aphakia, clinically significant corneal dystrophies, corneal edema, external ocular infection, iritis, or had any anterior segment surgery.
  • The participant is taking any ocular medications. If a participant was previous taking any ocular medications, the medications must have been discontinued at least 2 weeks prior to enrollment.
  • The participant must have less than or equal to grade 2 on any of the slit lamp observations of: upper tarsal papilla, corneal staining, corneal neovascularization, conjunctival injection, and lid erythema or scales.
  • The participant is currently pregnant or lactating. Participant who become pregnant during the study will be discontinued.
  • An employee or member of the UHCMC Eye Institute or a family member of any study personnel.

What is being measured

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

  1. Central Corneal Swelling

    Corneal swelling measurements were taken in the right eye during slit lamp evaluations, 6-8 hours post lens insertion. The average corneal swelling per lens was reported.

    Measured: 6-8 Hours Post lens insertion

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Limbal Redness

    Limbal redness was assessed in both eyes using a slit lamp, 6-8 hours post lens insertion. Redness was assessed in 4 regions of the eye (nasal, temporal, inferior and superior) and was graded with a 5-point scale (i.e. Grade 0= None, Grade 1 = trace, Grade 2 = Mild, Grade 3 = moderate and Grade 4 = severe). For each region (nasal, temporal, inferior and superior) the average grade was calculated by lens. The Total Grade was then calculated by summing all the average grade for each region. The regional average grade ranges from 0 to 4. The total Grade ranges from 0 to 16.

    Measured: 6-8 hours post lens insertion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing etafilcon A, lotrafilcon B and comfilcon A in people with Corneal Swelling, run by Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc. at 1 site in United States.

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 8 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.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 30 Jan 2017). 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?

Central Corneal Swelling (time frame: 6-8 Hours Post lens insertion). 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.
