Plain English summary of protocol

Background and study aims
The purpose of this early feasibility study is to gain initial insights into the effects of an artificial tear drop whilst wearing contact lenses.

Who can participate?
Healthy, adapted contact lens wearers 18 years of age and older are eligible to participate.

What does the study involve?
This study involves wearing soft contact lenses and using commercial rewetting drops for approximately six hours per day, five days per week for a total of four weeks. During this time you will be asked to attend 5 study visits on 4 to 5 separate days. The measurements taken throughout this study will be no different to those that should be conducted at a normal contact lens check-up visit.

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 July 2017 and is expected to run for approximately 3 months.

Who is funding the study?
The study is funded by CooperVision, Inc.

Scientific titleCrossover evaluation of Clinitas Soothe eye drops in symptomatic soft contact lens wearers (Part 2)
Study acronymN/A
Study objectivesThe test product will provide non-inferior subjective comfort and pre-lens tear stability compared to a control product.
Ethics approval(s)Approved 07/04/2017, North West - Liverpool East Research Ethics Committee (Barlow House, 3rd Floor, 4 Minshull Street, Manchester, M1 3DZ; 02071048127), ref: 17/NW/0196.
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedN/A
InterventionHabitual soft contact lenses will be worn and rewetting drops applied each day for a total of approximately four weeks. Two types of rewetting drops will be tested and participants will receive one of the rewetting drops to be used for the first two weeks and the other rewetting drop for the second two weeks, with a minimum of 3 days in between. Both types of rewetting drops are currently CE marked (i.e. approved for use in the European Union). All participants who agree to participate in this study will experience both types of rewetting drops, but the order in which they experience them will be decided at random (like flipping a coin).
Intervention typeDevice
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
Phase
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)
Primary outcome measureMeasured at each of the 4 assessment visits:
1. Subjective comfort [1-100, in 1 unit steps] will be measured using a Visual Analog Scale.
2. Average comfortable wearing time [Hrs:Mins] will be recorded by subjects.
3. Pre-lens Non-invasive break-up time (NIBUT) [s] will be measured using a Keeler Tearscope.
Secondary outcome measuresMeasured at each of the 4 assessment visits:
1. Subjective dryness [1-100, in 1 unit steps] will be measured using a Visual Analog Scale.
2. Subjective vision quality overall [1-100, in 1 unit steps] will be measured using a Visual Analog Scale.
3. Treatment preference for comfort(1ST/2ND) [LIKERT 1-5] will be measured using a Likert Scale.
4. Ocular health (limbal hyperaemia and corneal staining) will be measured using a slit lamp microscope.
