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.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Any anterior segment infection, inflammation, disease, or abnormality that contraindicates contact lens wear within 6 months prior to enrollment, as determined by the investigator;
  • Any use of systemic or ocular medications for which contact lens wear could be contraindicated, as determined by the investigator; or any use of topical ocular medications that would require instillation during contact lens wear;

  • Concurrent participation in a contact lens or contact lens care product clinical trial within the previous 30 days;
  • Eye injury or ocular or intra-ocular surgery within 6 months prior to enrollment;
  • Any ocular or systemic medical condition that may, in the opinion of the Investigator, preclude safe administration of the study lenses or affect the results of this study;
  • Other protocol-defined exclusion criteria may apply.

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
High Contrast Visual Acuity (HCVA) Near Monocular
Time Frame: Day 1, 10 minutes after lens insertion, each product
Visual Acuity (clarity or sharpness of vision) was measured at high contrast level. HCVA was assessed monocularly (each eye separately) at 40 centimeters using an Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) chart and measured in logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR), with 0.1 logMAR increment corresponding to 5 letters, or 1 line, on the ETDRS chart. A lower logMAR value indicates better visual acuity. Both eyes contributed to the analysis.
Day 1, 10 minutes after lens insertion, each product

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
HCVA Distance Monocular
Time Frame: Day 1, 10 minutes after lens insertion, each product
Visual Acuity (clarity or sharpness of vision) was measured at high contrast level. HCVA was assessed monocularly (each eye separately) at 6 meters using an ETDRS chart and measured in logMAR, with 0.1 logMAR increment corresponding to 5 letters, or 1 line, on the ETDRS chart. A lower logMAR value indicates better visual acuity. Both eyes contributed to the analysis.
Day 1, 10 minutes after lens insertion, each product
HCVA Intermediate Monocular
Time Frame: Day 1, 10 minutes after lens insertion, each product
Visual Acuity (clarity or sharpness of vision) was measured at high contrast level. HCVA was assessed monocularly (each eye separately) at 1 meter using an ETDRS chart and measured in logMAR, with 0.1 logMAR increment corresponding to 5 letters, or 1 line, on the ETDRS chart. A lower logMAR value indicates better visual acuity. Both eyes contributed to the analysis.
Day 1, 10 minutes after lens insertion, each product
Low Contrast Visual Acuity (LCVA) Distance Monocular
Time Frame: Day 1, 10 minutes after lens insertion, each product
Visual Acuity (clarity or sharpness of vision) was measured at low contrast level. LCVA was assessed monocularly (each eye separately) at 6 meters using an ETDRS chart and measured in logMAR, with 0.1 logMAR increment corresponding to 5 letters, or 1 line, on the ETDRS chart. A lower logMAR value indicates better visual acuity. Both eyes contributed to the analysis.
