Study Description

Brief Summary:

This study is a randomized, 5-visit, partial subject masked, 2x3 bilateral crossover, dispensing clinical trial. During the study, each test article will be worn in a daily wear modality for at least 6 hours per day and 5 days per week for approximately 2 weeks each. The subject will wear either the Test or Control article twice and the other study article once. The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate that the Test lens works as well, if not better compared to the Control lens with respect to CLUE (Contact Lens User Experience) comfort, Slit Lamp findings, and Distance Monocular logMAR Visual Acuity. This study will also aim to show acceptable lens fit for subjects wearing the Test lens.

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/treatment
Experimental: TEST/CONTROL/CONTROL; Enrolled subjects will be habitual wearers of spherical contact lenses between the ages of 18 and 49 years old. Subjects will wear the Test and Control contact lenses bilaterally for approximately 2 weeks each on a daily wear basis. Subjects will be randomly assigned to one of the two lens wear sequences, (TEST/CONTROL/CONTROL)	Device: CONTROL; ACUVUE OASYS; Device: TEST; senofilcon A with new UV blocker
Experimental: CONTROL/TEST/TEST; Enrolled subjects will be habitual wearers of spherical contact lenses between the ages of 18 and 49 years old. Subjects will wear the Test and Control contact lenses bilaterally for approximately 2 weeks each on a daily wear basis.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Overall Comfort [ Time Frame: 2-Week Follow-up ]
   Overall comfort was assessed using the Contact Lens User Experience™ (CLUE) questionnaire. CLUE is a validated patient-reported outcomes (PRO) questionnaire to assess patient-experience attributes of soft contact lenses (comfort, vision, handling, and packaging) in a contact-lens wearing population in the US, ages 18-65. Derived CLUE scores using Item Response Theory (IRT) follow a normal distribution with a population average score of 60 (SD 20), where higher scores indicate a more favorable/positive response with a range of 0-120. The average comfort score from the 3 study periods was reported.
2. Distance Monocular LogMAR Visual Acuity [ Time Frame: 2-Week Follow-up ]
   Distance Monocular LogMAR visual acuity was assessed at 4 meters using an ETDRS chart at the 2-week follow-up for each subject eye during each of the three study periods. The average visual acuity for each lens type from the 3 study periods was reported.
3. Contact Lens Fitting Acceptance Rate [ Time Frame: Up to 2-Week Follow-up ]
   Contact lens fitting acceptance was assessed for each subject eye using a biomicroscope at post lens insertion and the 2-week follow-up. Lens fit was a binary variable where acceptable lens fit=1 and unacceptable lens fit=0. The proportion of eyes with acceptable lens fit was reported for each lens. The lens fit acceptance rate for both post lens fitting at the 2-week follow-up was reported for each lens type.
4. Number of Grade 3 or Higher Slit Lamp Findings [ Time Frame: Up to 2-Week Follow-up ]
   Slit Lamp Findings (SLF) were assessed using a biomicroscope and was graded using the FDA grading scale (Grade: 0, 1,2, 3 and 4) with grade 0 represents the absence of findings and 1 to 4 representing successively worse findings (i.e. Grade 1 = trace, Grade 2 = Mild, Grade 3 = moderate and Grade 4 = severe). This was performed on each subject eye at every study visit (baseline, unscheduled visits and 2-week follow-up). The data was then dichotomized into two groups. Those with grade 3 or higher and those with grade 2 or lower. The number of SLF with grade 3 or higher by lens was reported.

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Overall Quality of Vision [ Time Frame: 2-Week Follow-up ]
   Overall quality of vision was assessed using the Contact Lens User Experience™ (CLUE) questionnaire. CLUE is a validated patient-reported outcomes (PRO) questionnaire to assess patient-experience attributes of soft contact lenses (comfort, vision, handling, and packaging) in a contact-lens wearing population in the US, ages 18-65. Derived CLUE scores using Item Response Theory (IRT) follow a normal distribution with a population average score of 60 (SD 20), where higher scores indicate a more favorable/positive response with a range of 0-120. The average vision score from the 3 study periods was reported.
2. Overall Handling [ Time Frame: 2-Week Follow-up ]
   Overall Handling was assessed using the Contact Lens User Experience™ (CLUE) questionnaire. CLUE is a validated patient-reported outcomes (PRO) questionnaire to assess patient-experience attributes of soft contact lenses (comfort, vision, handling, and packaging) in a contact-lens wearing population in the US, ages 18-65. Derived CLUE scores using Item Response Theory (IRT) follow a normal distribution with a population average score of 60 (SD 20), where higher scores indicate a more favorable/positive response with a range of 0-120. The average handling score from the 3 study periods was reported.
