About this study

Official title: Pilot Study on the Effect of Daily Disposable Silicone Hydrogel Contact Lenses on Tear Film Lipids

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the tear film evaporation of symptomatic soft contact lens wearers in the absence of contact lens wear and after at least 8 hours of contact lens wear.

Read the detailed description

This study consists of 5 visits (1 screening, 4 assessment) with a maximum of 6 days between assessment visits and at least 24 hours of no lens wear the day prior to the visit. Each subject will be randomized to a crossover sequence of 4 periods. Different study lenses will be worn during 3 of the periods, for at least 8 hours each, and the remaining period will have no lens wear.

Being tested
Delefilcon A contact lenses, Narafilcon A contact lenses, Somofilcon A contact lenses

What is being measured

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

  1. Tear Film Evaporation Rate

    Tear film evaporation rate (amount of tears (grams or g) that evaporates over a surface area (m2) per hour (h)) assessment was performed using the VapoMeter as a non-invasive measurement of tear film evaporation over 10 seconds. Measurements were taken on both the right and left eyes after 8 hours of lens wear or no lens wear, as applicable. A higher evaporation rate can be a contributing factor to eye irritation and lens intolerance.

    Measured: Day 1, Hour 8, each product

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Delefilcon A contact lenses, Narafilcon A contact lenses and Somofilcon A contact lenses in people with Refractive Error, 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 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 2 Jul 2018. 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 1 Feb 2018). 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?

Tear Film Evaporation Rate (time frame: Day 1, Hour 8, each product). 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 2 Jul 2018.
