Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

17 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants Classified as Responders
Time Frame: Month 6 after second eye implantation
Distance VA and near VA were measured binocularly (both eyes together) without visual correction using ETDRS (Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study) charts positioned at a consistent, manufactured distance. VA was measured in logMAR (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution), with a lower logMAR value indicating better visual acuity. A responder was defined as a participant who achieved bilateral uncorrected distance visual acuity and bilateral uncorrected near visual acuity of ≤0.1 LogMAR at the Month 6 visit.
Month 6 after second eye implantation
Proportion of Participants Reporting Spectacle Independence at All Distances
Time Frame: Month 6 after second eye implantation
Spectacle independence at all distances; ie, where type of spectacles used/prescribed equaled 'No spectacles', was evaluated. If for the 6-month visit, spectacle type information was missing for the spectacle independence endpoint, but the subject attended this 6-month visit, subject was assumed to be spectacle independent.
Month 6 after second eye implantation
Mean Vision-Related Quality of Life as Reported on the NEI-RQL 42 (5 Dimensions)
Time Frame: Month 6 after second eye implantation
Vision-related quality of life dimensions were evaluated using the National Eye Institute Refractive Error Quality of Life instrument (NEI-RQL 42), a self-administered questionnaire. Each dimension was scored between 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating a better vision-related Quality of Life. 5 of the dimensions were prespecified as primary.
Month 6 after second eye implantation

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Median Total Spectacle Cost Prior to Any Reimbursement
Time Frame: Month 6 after second eye implantation
Total spectacle cost includes the frame, lens, and any reimbursement from national health systems or private insurance. Costs collected in pounds sterling were converted to euros.
Month 6 after second eye implantation
