Study Overview

Status

Status

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.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

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 to 45 years (ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

All

  3. The subject must be between 18 and 45 years of age.
  4. The subject must have a valid spectacle prescription with expiration date not over 1 year.
  5. The subject's vertex corrected spherical equivalent distance refraction must be in the range of -0.25 Diopters (D) to -6.00 D in each eye.
  6. The subject's refractive cylinder must be ≤1.00 Cylindrical Diopter (DC) in each eye.

  8. Subjects should own a wearable pair of spectacles and agree to wear them the day of the initial visit and every morning on subsequent visit days.
  9. The subject must be a contact lens neophyte, defined as never having been dispensed contact lenses, or who has taken part in a non-dispensing clinical study or has been fitted with contact lenses in practice but never went on to actually wear the lenses.
  10. The subject must have normal eyes (i.e. no ocular medications or infections of any type).

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Currently pregnant or lactating (subjects who become pregnant during the study will be discontinued).
  2. Any ocular or systemic allergies or diseases that may interfere with contact lens wear.

  7. Any grade 3 or greater slit lamp findings (e.g. edema, corneal neovascularization, corneal staining, tarsal abnormalities, conjunctival injection) on the FDA classification scale, any previous history or signs of a contact lens-related corneal inflammatory event (e.g. past peripheral ulcer or round peripheral scar), or any other ocular abnormality that may contraindicate contact lens wear.
  8. Any ocular infection.
  9. Any infectious disease (e.g. hepatitis, tuberculosis) or a contagious immunosuppressive disease (e.g. HIV) by self-report.
  10. Any corneal distortion resulting from previous hard or rigid gas permeable contact lens wear.

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
Tear Film Osmolarity
Time Frame: 2-Week Follow-up
Tear film osmolarity was measured in each subject eye using the TearLab Osmolarity system. The instrument was placed gently into the lower lid temporal tear minuscus without simulating reflex tearing
2-Week Follow-up

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
Tear Film Osmolarity
Time Frame: 1-Week Follow-up
Tear film osmolarity was measured in each subject eye using the TearLab Osmolarity system. The instrument was placed gently into the lower lid temporal tear minuscus without simulating reflex tearing.
1-Week Follow-up
Tear Film PH
Time Frame: 1-Week Follow-up
Tear Film PH was measured using a 1mm Microglass electrode (Thermo Scientific Orion 9810BN) placed gently in lower temporal tear meniscus of non-Schirmer eye without simulating reflex tearing.
1-Week Follow-up

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. 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.
