Trial Outcomes & Findings for Lens Wear Schedules and End-of-Day Comfort (NCT NCT01433549)

NCT ID: NCT01433549

Last Updated: 2013-05-06

Results Overview

As assessed by the participant using a visual analog scale ranging from 0 (extremely uncomfortable) to 100 (very comfortable and fresh) at the end of each 12-hour (approximate) cycle. During each cycle, contact lenses were worn for 2-hour intervals, separated by lens-free (recovery) intervals of either 0, 30, 60, or 80 minutes. A new pair of contact lenses was dispensed for each 2-hour interval of lens wear.

Participant Flow

Participants were recruited from one study center located in Canada.

Of the 44 participants enrolled, 16 were exited from the study prior to randomization (screen failures). Three subjects were randomized/fitted with lenses but discontinued prior to product dispense. This reporting group includes all participants enrolled and dispensed product. A 12-hour lens-free wear period preceded each phase.

Lotrafilcon B / Senofilcon A
Lotrafilcon B worn first, with senofilcon A worn second, as randomized. Each product was worn bilaterally in 2-hour intervals, separated by lens-free (recovery) intervals of either 0, 30, 60, or 80 minutes, over the course of a 12-hour day, for a total of 4 cycles (days).
Senofilcon A / Lotrafilcon B
Senofilcon A worn first, with lotrafilcon B worn second, as randomized. Each product was worn bilaterally in 2-hour intervals, separated by lens-free (recovery) intervals of either 0, 30, 60, or 80 minutes, over the course of a 12-hour day, for a total of 4 cycles (days).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Hour 12

Population: All participants who participated in both phases of the study.

As assessed by the participant using a visual analog scale ranging from 0 (extremely uncomfortable) to 100 (very comfortable and fresh) at the end of each 12-hour (approximate) cycle. During each cycle, contact lenses were worn for 2-hour intervals, separated by lens-free (recovery) intervals of either 0, 30, 60, or 80 minutes. A new pair of contact lenses was dispensed for each 2-hour interval of lens wear.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Hour 12

Population: All participants who participated in both phases of the study.

As assessed by the investigator using a corneal topographer. NITBUT was assessed at the end of each 12-hour (approximate) cycle. During each cycle, contact lenses were worn for 2-hour intervals, separated by lens-free (recovery) intervals of either 0, 30, 60, or 80 minutes. A new pair of contact lenses was dispensed for each 2-hour interval of lens wear. A longer tear film break-up time indicates a more stable tear film and may lead to a more comfortable lens-wearing experience.

The lens wear regimen in this study was not typical. The study protocol required multiple lens insertions and removals within a wear day, which may have negatively impacted ocular surface characteristics in some subjects.
