Plain English summary of protocol
Background and study aims
This is an early feasibility study to gain preliminary insights into the retention time of a commercial eyedrop in contact lens wearers.
Who can participate?
Healthy, adapted contact lens wearers 18 years of age and older are eligible to participate.
What does the study involve?
Following a screening appointment to confirm eligibility, all eligible study participants will be asked to instill two different commercial eye drops with their contact lenses using three different regimens (i.e. one to four times per day at different time points during the day), on three different days. Each study day will be separated by a minimum of 1 day and a maximum of 10 days.
What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
There might not be direct benefits to the participants in this study. However, participation may contribute to scientific research information that may be used in the development of new contact lens products. The risks to participants in this study are similar to those associated with normal daily wear of soft contact lenses.
Where is the study run from?
This study will be run at one site: Visioncare Research Clinic in Farnham, United Kingdom.
When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
The study is planned to start in June 2017 and is expected to run for approximately 2 months.
Who is funding the study?
The study is funded by CooperVision, Inc.

| Ethics approval(s) | Approved 12/06/2017, North East - Newcastle & North Tyneside 1 Research Ethics Committee (Jarrow Business Centre, Rolling Mill Road, Jarrow, NE32 3DT; 0207 104 8117), ref: 17/NE/0094. |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | N/A |
| Intervention | This was a feasibility study to evaluate the retention time of a polymer on the eye in order to provide insights into new product development programs. Each commercial eyedrop was used by all subjects according to three different regimens/schedules. The regimens/schedules were assigned randomly over three study days. Each study day was separated by a minimum of 1 day and a maximum of 10 days. |

| Key exclusion criteria | 1. Previously shown sensitivity to any of the study solutions’ components. 2. Any systemic or ocular disease or allergies affecting ocular health. 3. Using systemic or topical medications that will, in the investigator’s opinion, affect ocular physiology or lens performance. 4. Clinically significant (>Grade 3) corneal stromal edema, corneal vascularisation, tarsal abnormalities, bulbar hyperemia, limbal hyperemia, or any other abnormality of the cornea that would contraindicate contact lens wear. 5. Any corneal infiltrates or any corneal scarring or neovascularization within the central 5mm of the cornea. 6. Keratoconus or other corneal irregularity. 7. Aphakia or amblyopia. 8. Has diabetes. 9. Known/reported infectious disease (e.g., hepatitis, tuberculosis) or an immunosuppressive disease (e.g., HIV). 10. History of chronic eye disease (e.g. glaucoma or ARMD). 11. Pregnant or lactating or planning a pregnancy at the time of enrolment. 12. Participation in any concurrent clinical trial or in last 14 days. |
