- Conditions
- Astigmatism
- Being tested
- Lens A (comfilcon A toric lens), Lens B (lehfilcon A toric lens)
- Medical subject headings
- Astigmatism
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Measured: At the end of one month of wear
Secondary outcomes (1)
Distance Visual Acuity
Distance Visual Acuity, using Snellen converted to logMAR.
Measured: At the end of one month of wear

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Lens A (comfilcon A toric lens) and Lens B (lehfilcon A toric lens) in people with Astigmatism, run by CooperVision International Limited (CVIL) at 5 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 18 inclusion and 7 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 11 Mar 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 5 sites in United States, 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 10 Mar 2025). 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?
Lens Handling on Removal (time frame: At the end of one month of wear). 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 11 Mar 2025.
