About this study

Official title: Prospective, Randomized Crossover Study of Using the Hyper-CL™ Lens (Hyper Osmotic Contact Lens) in Subjects Suffering From Corneal Edema

The Hyper-CL™ lenses are indicated for therapeutic use as a bandage to protect the corneal surface and to relieve corneal pain in the treatment of acute or chronic ocular pathologies, such as bullous keratopathy, corneal erosions, entropion, corneal edema, and corneal dystrophies as well as post-surgical conditions resulting from cataract extraction and corneal surgery. The lenses may be prescribed for daily wear with removal for cleaning and disinfection (chemical, not heat) prior to reinsertion, as recommended by the eye care professional.

In addition Hyper-CL™ contact lenses can also provide optical correction during healing if required.

Read the detailed description

This study is a prospective, randomized crossover study. The primary aim of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of using the Hyper-CL™ lens +salt solution (5% NaCl) as compared with using regular contact lens + salt solution (5% NaCl) in subjects suffering from corneal edema. Safety will be assessed by evaluating the rate of adverse events and adverse device effects occurred throughout the study period. Effectiveness will be assessed by measuring changes in corneal thickness and visual acuity.

Subjects with corneal edema will be the study population. Only subjects who have signed the informed consent form and meet all the eligibility criteria listed below will be qualified for enrollment. The study will encompass a total of up to 80 subjects who will complete the Protocol follow-up schedule.

Each subject will be treated with:

Treatment A: Hyper-CL™ lens + salt solution + antibiotics drops (7 days) Treatment B: Regular soft contact lens +salt solution+ antibiotics drops (7 days) One week (7 days) of washout without any treatment will be between treatments. Subject will be equally allocated to one of the following 2 crossover regimen based on a randomization scheme with blocks stratified by center: A-B; B-A

What is being measured

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

  1. frequency and severity of all treatment-related adverse events

    Measured: Up to 28 days (or 21 days if wash out is not needed).

  2. Percent of subjects with corneal thickness decrease of at least 8% and or visual acuity improvement of at least 1 line following treatment with the Hyper-CL™ lens + salt solution

    assess by physiological parameter

    Measured: Up to 28 days (or 21 days if wash out is not needed).

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Percent of subjects with corneal thickness decrease of at least 8%.

    assess by physiological parameter

  2. Percent of subjects with visual acuity improvement of at least 1 line

    assess by physiological parameter

    Measured: Up to 28 days (or 21 days if wash out is not needed).

  3. Corneal thickness decrease

    assess by physiological parameter

    Measured: Up to 28 days (or 21 days if wash out is not needed).

  4. change in Measurement Best Corrected Distance Visual Acuity (BCDVA)

    Measured: Up to 28 days (or 21 days if wash out is not needed).

  5. change in Subject comfort questionnaire

    Measured: Up to 28 days (or 21 days if wash out is not needed).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hyper-CL™ lens, Regular soft contact lens and Salt solution in people with CORNEAL EDEMA, run by Eye-yon Medical at 4 sites in 2 countries.

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 4 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 21 May 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Israel, Poland. 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?

What does the primary outcome measure?

frequency and severity of all treatment-related adverse events (time frame: Up to 28 days (or 21 days if wash out is not needed).). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02660151, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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?
