What is being measured

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

  1. Ex Vivo Total Cholesterol Uptake at Day 30

    The contact lens worn in the right eye was removed and stored dry and frozen until analysis. Total cholesterol uptake (cholesterol and cholesterol esters) was evaluated from a sample of the right contact lenses from each site and measured in micrograms. Lower total cholesterol uptake indicates increased lens performance.

    Measured: Day 30

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Lotrafilcon B contact lenses with added wetting agent, Samfilcon A contact lenses and POLYQUAD/ALDOX-preserved contact lens solution with added wetting agent in people with Refractive Errors and Myopia, run by Alcon, a Novartis Company at 8 sites in 3 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 9 inclusion and 10 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 14 Aug 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in United States, Germany, 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 14 Aug 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?

Ex Vivo Total Cholesterol Uptake at Day 30 (time frame: Day 30). 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 NCT03026257, 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Aug 2018.
