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

18 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
Overall Comfort
Time Frame: 2 weeks
Overall comfort was assessed and reported by the participant on a questionnaire as a single, retrospective evaluation of 2 weeks of wear. Overall comfort was measured on a 10-point scale, with 1 being poor and 10 being excellent.
2 weeks
Overall Comfort
Time Frame: 4 weeks
Overall comfort was assessed and reported by the participant on a questionnaire as a single, retrospective evaluation of 4 weeks of wear. Overall comfort was measured on a 10-point scale, with 1 being poor and 10 being excellent.
4 weeks
End of Day Dryness
Time Frame: 2 weeks
End of day dryness was assessed and reported by the participant on a questionnaire as a single, retrospective evaluation of 2 weeks of wear. End of day dryness was measured on a 10-point scale, with 1 being very dry and 10 being not dry.
2 weeks
End of Day Dryness
Time Frame: 4 weeks
End of day dryness was assessed and reported by the participant on a questionnaire as a single, retrospective evaluation of 4 weeks of wear. End of day dryness was measured on a 10-point scale, with 1 being very dry and 10 being not dry.
4 weeks
Ocular Redness
Time Frame: 2 weeks
Ocular redness was assessed and reported by the participant on a questionnaire as a single, retrospective evaluation of 2 weeks of wear. Ocular redness was measured on a 10-point scale, with 1 being very red and 10 being not red.
2 weeks
Ocular Redness
Time Frame: 4 weeks
Ocular redness was assessed and reported by the participant on a questionnaire as a single, retrospective evaluation of 4 weeks of wear. Ocular redness was measured on a 10-point scale, with 1 being very red and 10 being not red.
4 weeks
Visual Clarity
Time Frame: 2 weeks
Visual clarity was assessed and reported by the participant on a questionnaire as a single, retrospective evaluation of 2 weeks of wear. Visual clarity was measured on a 10-point scale, with 1 being poor and 10 being excellent.
2 weeks
Visual Clarity
Time Frame: 4 weeks
Visual clarity was assessed and reported by the participant on a questionnaire as a single, retrospective evaluation of 4 weeks of wear. Visual clarity was measured on a 10-point scale, with 1 being poor and 10 being excellent.
4 weeks
Lens Deposits
Time Frame: 2 weeks
Protein and lipid deposits on the contact lens surface were assessed for each eye by the investigator using a biomicroscope, which magnifies the appearance of the contact lens on the wearer's eye. Deposits were graded on a scale of 0 to 4, with 0 being none and 4 being severe.

Lens Deposits
Time Frame: 4 weeks
Protein and lipid deposits on the contact lens surface were assessed for each eye by the investigator using a biomicroscope, which magnifies the appearance of the contact lens on the wearer's eye. Deposits were graded on a scale of 0 to 4, with 0 being none and 4 being severe.
4 weeks
Corrected Visual Acuity
Time Frame: 2 weeks
Each eye was tested individually while the participant read distant charts in normal lighting. Corrected visual acuity was measured using a Snellen chart, which was converted into logMAR units (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution). A 20/20 Snellen acuity equates to a logMAR acuity of 0.0 and is considered normal distance eyesight. Positive logMAR values indicate poorer vision, and negative values denote better visual acuity.

Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
