About this study

Official title: Assessment of Comfort and Ocular Surface Parameters With Novel Designs of Daily Disposable Silicone Hydrogel Contact Lenses (BASS)

A comparison of two lens designs manufactured in the same material. The hypothesis is the subjectively rated performance of comfort, vision and lens handling will be better with the modified design compared to the initial design

Read the detailed description

The objectives of the study are

  1. to identify possible reasons for the different comfort and vision experience in Japanese CL wearers compared to Caucasian CL wearers and
  2. to assess whether the modification of lens thickness in the optical zone results in increased comfort and reduced visual acuity fluctuations in Caucasian eyes.

Menicon Modified Lens Design

What is being measured

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

  1. Participant's subjective rating of comfort, Questionnaire

    Participants rate their eye comfort by subjective questionnaire (non-annotated scale, 0-100, 0=painful, 100=can't feel the lenses)

    Measured: 2 Days

  2. Participant's subjective rating of vision, Questionnaire

    Participants rate their vision by subjective questionnaire (non-annotated scale, 0-100, 0=not at all sharp/clear, 100=sharp/clear

    Measured: 2 Days

  3. Participant's subjective rating of lens handling, Questionnaire

    Participants rate their ability to handle the contact lens by subjective questionnaire (non-annotated scale, 0-100, 0=very difficult, 100=very easy

    Measured: 2 Days

Model description
This will be a double-masked, cross-over, bilateral wear study design with five (5) study visits across three (3) study visit days. Participants will be dispensed and wear both the initial and modified lens design for a total of six (6) hours each on two (2) separate visit days, with the order of lens wear being randomized; participants will be allowed to leave the CCLR on their lens wearing days between dispense and follow-up visit.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Menicon Modified Lens Design in people with Visual Acuity and Contact Lens Comfort, run by Menicon Co., Ltd. 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 10 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Participant's subjective rating of comfort, Questionnaire (time frame: 2 Days). The study lists 3 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 5 Oct 2018.
