Trial Review

The ANZCTR website is back online for trial registration and updates. We apologise for any inconvenience caused while the site was inactive.


With activity expected to increase on the ANZCTR again, there may be extended wait times while we process pending studies, with priority being given to those trials submitted in February. Thank you for your patience.

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The intervention is a soft disposable contact lens that provides an optical correction for astigmatism. The lenses will be fit to individual participants' eyes by an experienced (>10 years) research optometrist, to provide optimal correction for their low to moderate astigmatic refractive errors. The astigmatism correcting lens will be worn in both eyes for a single 60-minute session in a research laboratory/clinical facility. The order of lens wear (intervention/control) will be randomized. All participants will wear the intervention and control lenses in separate sessions on different days at least 24 hours apart (i.e. crossover study design).
Intervention code [1] 325080 0
Treatment: Devices
Comparator / control treatment
The control is a disposable contact lens (of the same lens material as the intervention). that corrects the spherical equivalent component of the refractive error
Control group
Active

Can healthy volunteers participate?
Yes

Study design
Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
In this randomized cross-over trial, all participants will wear both the treatment and control lenses. The allocation of lens type worn at each visit will be concealed from the participant.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Computerised sequence generation
Masking / blinding
Blinded (masking used)
Who is / are masked / blinded?
The people receiving the treatment/s


Intervention assignment
Crossover
Other design features
Phase
Not Applicable
Type of endpoint/s
Statistical methods / analysis
Data will be tested for normality and then appropriate parametric or non-parametric tests will be applied. Repeated measures ANOVA (or the non-parametric equivalent Friedman test) will be used to determine significant differences between visual performance with astigmatism correction and best sphere correction, for each of the primary and secondary endpoints.
