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 17 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • -A person is eligible for inclusion in the study if he/she:
  • Is at least 17 years of age and has full legal capacity to volunteer
  • Has read and understood the information consent letter
  • Is willing and able to follow instructions and maintain the appointment schedule
  • Is correctable to a visual acuity of 20/30 or better (in each eye) with their habitual correction and the assigned study lenses
  • Is an adapted soft contact lens wearer (For the purpose of this study: Current lens wear at least 3 days per week, 8 hours each day.)

Who cannot join

  • -A person will be excluded from the study if he/she:
  • Is participating in any concurrent clinical or research study
  • Has any known active* ocular disease and/or infection
  • Has a systemic condition that in the opinion of the investigator may affect a study outcome variable**
  • Is using any systemic or topical medications that in the opinion of the investigator may affect a study outcome variable
  • Has known sensitivity to the diagnostic pharmaceuticals to be used in the study
Show all 11Show fewer
  • Is pregnant, lactating or planning a pregnancy at the time of enrolment (by verbal confirmation at the screening visit).
  • Is aphakic
  • Has undergone corneal refractive surgery.
  • For the purposes of this study, active ocular disease is defined as infection or inflammation which requires therapeutic treatment. Mild (i.e. not considered clinically relevant) lid abnormalities (blepharitis, meibomian gland dysfunction, papillae), corneal and conjunctival staining and dry eye are not considered active ocular disease. Neovascularization and corneal scars are the result of previous hypoxia, infection or inflammation and are therefore not active. Participants will be excluded with significant slit lamp findings (e.g. infiltrates or other slit lamp findings Grade 3 or above: corneal edema, tarsal abnormalities, and conjunctival injection) or active ocular disease (e.g. glaucoma, history of recurrent corneal erosions, and intraocular infection or inflammation of an allergic, bacterial, or viral etiology)
  • For the purposes of this study, participants will be excluded, if currently taking medication, such as oral antihistamines, antihistamine eye drops, oral and ophthalmic beta-adrenergic blockers (e.g. Propanolol, Timolol), anticholinergics, oral steroids and any prescribed or over-the-counter eye medication, except artificial tears or eye lubricants

About this study

This is a 1-week dispensing, double-masked, randomized, bilateral study comparing the test lens against the control lens.

Read the detailed description

The order of lens wear (test lens first, control lens second or control lens first, test lens second) will be selected according to a randomization table.

Both test and control lenses will be used in a daily wear modality for 1 week. It is anticipated that this study will involve following visits: Baseline (screening and dispense of 1st study pair of lenses, visit combined), 1-week visit (follow-up of the 1st study pair of lenses and dispense the 2nd study pair of lenses) and 2-week visit (1 week follow-up of the 2nd study pair of lenses).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing silicone hydrogel lens (test) in people with Myopia, run by CooperVision, Inc. 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 6 inclusion and 11 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 29 Jul 2020. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Feb 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?

Comfort (time frame: Baseline and 1 week). The study lists 2 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 29 Jul 2020.
