Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This is a prospective, bilateral, open-label, randomised clinical trial with participants wearing one of 4 commercially available contact lenses (AIR OPTIX [Trade mark] Aqua, NIGHT & DAY [Registered trade mark], ACUVUE OASYS [Trade mark], PureVision [Trade mark]) in conjunction with an investigational contact lens care solution over a 3 month period on a daily wear basis.
Participants will be randomised to wear one of 4 commercially available contact lenses. There are visits at 2 weeks, 1 month and 3 months from initial lens fitting. Contact lens cases will be collected at the 1 month and 3 months visits for analysis.
each contact lens group will have a minimum of 40 participants.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 238438 0
Subjective ocular comfort with various lenses and investigational contact lens care solution. Subjective ocular comfort will be measured via questionnaire
Timepoint [1] 238438 0
Baseline, 2 weeks, 1 month and 3 months of contact lens wear
Secondary outcome [1] 244939 0
Ocular response with various lenses and investigational contact lens care solution. Ocular response will be measured using a slit-lamp biomicroscope.

-Use of, or a need for, any systemic medication or topical medications which may alter normal ocular findings/are known to affect a participant’s ocular health/physiology or contact lens performance either in an adverse manner or beneficial manner at enrolment and/or during the study;
N.B. Systemic antihistamines are allowed on an ‘as needed basis’, provided they are not used -prophylactically during the trial
-Eye surgery within 12 weeks immediately prior to enrolment for this trial;
-Previous corneal refractive surgery;
-Contraindications to contact lens wear;
-Known allergy or intolerance to ingredients in any of the study products;
-Currently enrolled in another clinical trial;
-Participation in a clinical trial within the previous 2 weeks for dispensing studies and 48 hours -between in-house studies;
Pregnancy*;

The Investigator may, at his/her discretion, exclude anyone who they believe may not be able to fulfil the study requirements, or if it is believed to be in the participant’s best interests.

*Formal testing of pregnancy is not required. A participant’s verbal report is sufficient
