Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Symptoms in Symptomatic Contact Lens Wearers Following Application of Intranasal Tear Neurostimulator Versus Control

December 16, 2019 updated by: Allergan

Randomized, Double-arm, Controlled Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Symptoms in Symptomatic Contact Lens Wearers Following Application of Intranasal Tear Neurostimulator Versus Control (CORIANDER)

This study will evaluate the increase in comfort and comfortable contact lens (CL) wear time associated with application of TrueTear (active intranasal neurostimulation) compared with application of TrueTear sham control (intranasal application which is not electrically active) in symptomatic CL wearers.

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

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

22 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

EXPERIMENTAL: TrueTear
TrueTear Device (Intranasal Tear Neurostimulator) was used intranasally on contact lens (CL) wear days; it was also used on non-CL wear days if the participant chose. The number of applications was determined by participant.

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
Contact Lens Dry Eye Questionnaire (CLDEQ-8) Score in the Study Eye
Time Frame: Day 28
The CLDEQ-8 is a validated questionnaire used to quantify symptoms experienced by the contact lenses (CLs) wearer. The participants were asked to respond to 8 questions about how their CLs performed over the preceding 2-week period. 4 questions (Eye discomfort, Eye dryness, Changeable blurry vision and Closing your eyes) answered on a scale of 0=Never to 4=Constantly; 3 questions about the end of wearing time (Discomfort, Dryness, Changeable blurry vision) answered on a scale of 0=Never have it to 5=Very Intense and 1 question (Removing your lenses) on a scale of 1=Never to 6=Several times a day for a total possible score of 1(best) to 37 (worst). The study eye was defined as the qualified eye with the greatest increase in tear production with stimulation by a cotton swab at the Screening Visit. If both eyes qualified, then the right eye was designated as the study eye.
Day 28
Comfort Rating Score in the Study Eye
Time Frame: CL Insertion, After 2 hours and the End of Day on Day 24
The participant assessed contact lens comfort in the study eye using a 100 point scale where a score of 0=Extremely uncomfortable and a score of 100=Extremely comfortable. The study eye was defined as the qualified eye with the greatest increase in tear production with stimulation by a cotton swab at the Screening Visit. If both eyes qualified, then the right eye was designated as the study eye.
CL Insertion, After 2 hours and the End of Day on Day 24
Comfortable Wear Time (CWT) in the Study Eye
Time Frame: Day 24
CWT was calculated by taking the difference between the time participants reported started to find their CLs getting uncomfortable and the reported insertion time for that day. The study eye was defined as the qualified eye with the greatest increase in tear production with stimulation by a cotton swab at the Screening Visit. If both eyes qualified, then the right eye was designated as the study eye.
Day 24
Total Wear Time (Total WT) in the Study Eye
Time Frame: Day 24
Total WT was calculated by taking the difference between the time participants reported removing their CLs and the reported insertion time for that day. The study eye was defined as the qualified eye with the greatest increase in tear production with stimulation by a cotton swab at the Screening Visit. If both eyes qualified, then the right eye was designated as the study eye.
