An Evaluation of Marketed Contact Lens Disinfectant Systems on Eyelid Tissues (ID11-56)

June 27, 2014 updated by: Alcon Research

EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTS OF CLEAR CARE® / AOSEPT® PLUS HYDROGEN PEROXIDE SOLUTION ON THE EYELID TISSUES - Part III: COMPARATIVE EVALUATION WITH RENU® MPS OVER 3 MONTH OF WEAR - CONTROL EVALUATION WITH AIR OPTIX® AQUA and ACUVUE® 2®

The purpose of this study was to assess and compare the effect of the repeated usage of 2 different care systems (one hydrogen peroxide based cleaning and disinfecting system and one PHMB containing multipurpose system) with ACUVUE® 2® and AIR OPTIX® AQUA contact lenses worn on a daily wear basis for a 3-month period.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This study was divided into 2 periods, a Screening Phase and an Investigational Phase. During the Screening Phase, subjects were fitted and dispensed with either ACUVUE® 2® (for current hydrogel wearers) or AIR OPTIX® AQUA (for current silicone hydrogel wearers) contact lenses and used COMPLETE® MPS Easy Rub® Formula to clean and disinfect their lenses. At the completion of the Screening Phase, the symptomatic status of the subjects was re-assessed. Those subjects who qualified proceeded to the Investigational Phase and were dispensed with new pair of study contact lenses identical to the lenses they wore during the Screening Phase to use in conjunction with the allocated study care product, CLEAR CARE® /AOSEPT® Plus or ReNu MultiPlus®.

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
Maximum Papillae
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 0), Month 3
Eyelid papillae (bumps on the inner eyelid) were recorded separately for three zones of the upper lid and overall for the lower lid on a 5-point forced choice scale: 0 = None; 1 = Slight (diffuse papillae); 2 = Mild (diffuse & tufts papillae); 3 = Moderate (moderate & tufts papillae); 4 = Severe (giant papillae). The maximum value represents the worse grade in any zone. Both eyes were included in the model for analysis. Contact lenses were not worn for this assessment.
Baseline (Day 0), Month 3
Maximum Eyelid Hyperaemia
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 0), Month 3
Eyelid hyperaemia (redness) was recorded separately for three zones of the upper lid and overall for the lower lid on a 5-point forced choice scale: 0 = Clear; 1 = Slight redness; 2 = Mild redness; 3 = Moderate redness; 4 = Severe redness). The maximum value represents the worst grade in any zone. Both eyes were included in the model for analysis. Contact lenses were not worn for this assessment.
Baseline (Day 0), Month 3
Mean Upper Eyelid Redness
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 0), Month 3
The contact lenses were removed and upper eyelid redness was objectively measured through digital images. The coverage of the palpebral surface by blood vessels is expressed as percentage of the total surface measured. Both eyes were included in the model for analysis. Contact lenses were not worn for this assessment.
Baseline (Day 0), Month 3
Mean Upper Eyelid Margin Staining
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 0), Month 3
The contact lens was removed and ophthalmic dye was instilled. Upper eyelid margin staining was objectively measured through digital images. The extent of true staining (i.e., the total area of lid margin covered by staining) was recorded. Both eyes were included in the model for analysis. Contact lenses were not worn for this assessment.
Baseline (Day 0), Month 3

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 Non-Invasive Pre-Lens Tear Film Break Up Time (PL-NIBUT)
Time Frame: Month 3
The pre-lens tear film is the layer of tears located on top of the contact lens (i.e., between the eyelid and the contact lens). The time required for a dry spot to appear on the pre-lens surface after blinking is referred to as the pre-lens tear film break up time. PL-NIBUT was evaluated using a biomicroscope with a diffuse illumination source, i.e., Tearscope. A longer PL-NIBUT indicates a more stable tear film and greater on-eye lens wettability. Three PL-NIBUT measurements were recorded, and the median value was used for analysis. Both eyes were included in the model for analysis. Contact lenses were on-eye for this assessment.
