Participant flow
Recruitment details
Number subjects enrolled per site ranged six to 25. Two sites were asked to enroll more than 20 subjects to fulfill required number of subjects. Approval from Ethics Committee sought before sites were invited to recruit additional subjects. Of the 100 enrolled, 13 were existing etafilcon A wearers, falling short of the 25% target.
Pre-assignment details
All participants randomized to receive all interventions and combined into one Arm/Group, Overall All Study Population for the participant flow.
Participants by arm
| Arm | Count |
|---|---|
| Stenfilcon A Then Etafilcon A All subjects assigned as overall study population wore both sets of lenses. Overall study population was randomized to wear either stenfilcon A followed by etafilcon A or etafilcon A followed by stenfilcon A. | 48 |
| Etafilcon A Then Stenfilcon A All subjects assigned as overall study population wore both sets of lenses. Overall study population was randomized to wear either stenfilcon A followed by etafilcon A or etafilcon A followed by stenfilcon A. | 52 |
