INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
Lubricating eye drops are often used to treat symptoms of ocular dryness and discomfort.  Most 
of the major lubricating eye drop manufacturing companies have some type of lipid product to 
address lipid deficient tear films, however JJV CEH does not currently have a lipid-like 
lubricating drop in our portfolio.  
This study will be conducted at one clinical site in the United States and will include one 
investigational lipid eye drop (
) and one marketed lubricating eye drop (blink® Tears).  
By developing a lipid-like drop addition to the CEH portfolio it would continue to support JJV 
Eye Health Mission.
1.1.
Name and Descriptions of Investigational Products  
The products used in this clinical study are listed below:  
x
Investigational lipid eye drops 
 (Test) 
x
Blink® Tears (Control) 
1.2.
Intended Use of Investigational Products
One of the products is an investigational, preserved lipid drop, and the other product is a 
marketed eye drop in the U.S. and the EU, available over the counter (without a prescription).  
Subjects will be required to use the 1 drop in both eyes.  
The intended use of the study lubricating drops is treatment of subjects with symptoms of 
ocular dryness. 
1.3.
Summary of Findings from Nonclinical Studies
All previous pre-clinical findings were deemed satisfactory prior to proceeding with clinical 
trials on humans. For the most comprehensive nonclinical information regarding 
Investigational lipid eye drops 
refer to the latest version of the Investigator’s Brochure.
1.4.
Summary of Known Risks and Benefits to Human Subjects
The following risks/adverse events can be associated with using lubricating eye drops and 
contact lenses, in general:
x
There may be less comfort than when the drop was first placed on the eye.
x
The eyes may burn, sting and/or itch. 
x
There may be a feeling of something in the eye (foreign body, scratched area). 
x
There may be the potential for some temporary impairment due to peripheral infiltrates, 
peripheral corneal ulcers and corneal erosion.   
x
There may be the potential for other physiological observations, such as local or 
generalized edema, corneal neovascularization, corneal staining, injection, tarsal 
abnormalities, iritis and conjunctivitis, some of which are clinically acceptable in low 
amounts. 
x
There may be excessive watering, unusual eye secretions, or redness of the eye.

x
Poor visual acuity, blurred vision, rainbows or halos around objects, photo-phobia, or 
dry eyes may also occur if the drops are used continuously or for too long a time. 
There is no direct benefit to the subject for participating in the study, although they will be able 
to try out new lubricating eye drops.  The information from this study will aid if the further 
development and design of new lubricating eye drops.   
For the most comprehensive clinical information regarding the lubricating eye drops refer to 
the package inserts (Appendix B) and the latest version of the Investigator Brochure.

STUDY DESIGN AND RATIONALE
4.1.
Description of Study Design
This is a single visit, randomized, double-masked, bilateral, controlled, 2×2 crossover study.
Approximately 30 subjects will be screened and randomly assigned to either Test or Control 
group.  The goal is for a sample size of 25 after subjects who withdraw or are lost-to-follow-
up.
At Visit 1, subjects will be consented and screened for inclusion/exclusion criteria.  Baseline 
logMAR visual acuity will be measured in their habitual contact lenses.  If a subject is found 
to meet all eligibility criteria, the first lubricating eye drops will be instilled based on the 
randomization scheme; otherwise, the subject will be discontinued from the study. Three
minutes and ten minutes after OD drop instillation logMAR visual acuity will be measured.  
There will then be a 90 minutes washout period.  After the washout, the second artificial tear 
eye drop will be instilled.  Three minutes and ten minutes after instillation logMAR visual 
acuity will be measured.  The subject will then complete the final evaluation.  
4.2.
Study Design Rationale 
Randomized, double masked, controlled designs are the gold standard to perform scientifically 
sound evaluations of the intervention by reducing bias associated with the conduct and 
interpretation of a clinical trial and avoiding confounding from other factors.  Crossover study 
design was chosen to allow more efficient comparison of the test articles.

4.3.
Enrollment Target and Study Duration
Up to 30 subjects will be enrolled (informed consent signed) and randomized from up to 2 sites
in the US.  The goal is for a sample size of 25 subjects after subjects who withdraw or are lost 
to follow-up. 
The Investigator is responsible for ensuring that all subjects entering the study conform to 
subject selection criteria.
5.
TEST ARTICLE ALLOCATION AND MASKING
5.1.
Test Article Allocation 
Subjects will be randomly assigned to one of two unique sequence groups to bilaterally receive 
two different test articles one at a time over two study periods. The randomization scheme will 
be generated using the PROC PLAN procedure from the Statistical Analysis System (SAS) 
Software version 9.4 or higher.7
The study site will follow the randomization scheme provided and will complete enrollment 
according to the randomization list and will not pre-select or assign subjects.  The assignment 
of the subjects must be performed at the first baseline visit (Visit 1). The following must have 
occurred prior to randomization: 
x
Informed consent has been obtained 
x
Subject meets all the inclusion / exclusion criteria
x
Subject history and baseline information has been collected 
5.2.
Masking
This is a double masked study where subjects and the investigators are masked to the identity 
of the eye drops during the study period.  Every attempt will be made to keep the other clinical 
trial personnel involved in the study (e.g., Data management, Biostatistician) unaware of the 
identity of the test articles.
The identity of the investigational products will be masked by over labeling the eye drop bottles
with a label containing the study number, expiration date and the randomization codes.  Only 
the personnel involved in the over labeling and the unmasked Statistician generating the 
randomization scheme will have access to the decode information translating the 
randomization codes into Test and Control eye drops.  The medical monitor will also have 
access to the decode information in case breaking the mask is necessary for the urgent medical 
treatment of a subject.
5.3.
Procedures for Maintaining and Breaking the Masking
Under normal circumstances, the mask should not be broken until all subjects have completed 
the study and the database is finalized. Otherwise, the mask should be broken only if specific 
emergency treatment/course of action would be dictated by knowing the treatment status of the 
CR-6371, v4.0

subject. In such cases, the Investigator may, in an emergency, contact the medical monitor.  In 
the event the mask is broken, the Sponsor must be informed as soon as possible. The date, 
time, and reason for the unmasking must be documented in the subject record. The Investigator 
is also advised not to reveal the study treatment assignment to the clinical site or Sponsor 
personnel.  
When dispensing test articles, the following steps should be followed to maintain 
randomization codes: 
1. Investigator or designee (documented on the Delegation Log) will consult the 
randomization scheme to obtain the test article assignment for that subject prior to 
dispensing 
2. Investigator or designee will record the subject’s number on the appropriate line of the 
randomization scheme 
3. Investigator or designee will pull the appropriate test articles from the study supply.  
All test articles that are opened, whether dispensed (placed/fit on eye or dispensed 
outside the clinical site) or not, must be recorded on the Test Article Accountability 
Log in the “Dispensed” section.

Subject lost to follow-up  
x
Subject no longer meets eligibility criteria (e.g. the subject becomes pregnant)
x
Subject develops significant or serious adverse events causing discontinuation of study 
drop  
x
Subjects who have experienced a Corneal Infiltrative Event (CIE)
x
Investigator’s clinical judgment regarding the subject safety reasons (that it is in the 
best interest of the subject to stop treatment)
x

x
Complete the Final Evaluation, indicating the reason that the subject was discontinued 
from the study 
An additional subject may be enrolled if a subject discontinues from the study prematurely.  
In cases where a subject is lost to follow-up, every possible effort must be made to contact the 
subject and determine the reason for discontinuation/withdrawal. The measures taken to follow 
up must be documented including two written attempts and a certified letter (or equivalent) as 
the final attempt. 
9.
PRE-STUDY AND CONCOMITANT INTERVENTION/MEDICATION
Concomitant medications will be documented during screening and updated during the study.
Disallowed medications for this study include: Current habitual use of Prescription Only 
Medicines for dry eye or ocular discomfort, ocular steroids, or any medication (RX or OTC) 
that would interfere with the clinical study (at the discretion of the investigator).
9.1.
Systemic Medications
Due to the nature of the study and endpoints being assessed, medications will be allowed 
provided they did not interfere with contact lens wear, which will be at the discretion of the 
investigator.  
10. DEVIATIONS FROM THE PROTOCOL
Investigator will notify study sponsor upon identification of a protocol deviation. Protocol 
deviations must be reported to the sponsor within 24 hours after discovery of the protocol 
deviation. The Investigator will report deviations per IRB/IEC requirements. All deviations 
will be tracked and corrective actions implemented as appropriate.  
CR-6371, v4.0
 
Page 30 of 86
JJVC CONFIDENTIAL


Clinical Study Protocol
Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc.
If it becomes necessary for the Investigator to implement a deviation in order to eliminate an 
immediate hazard to the trial subject, the Investigator may implement the deviation 
immediately without notification to the sponsor. Within 24 hours after the implemented 
deviation, the Investigator must notify and provide the rationale to the Sponsor and, as 
required, the IEC/IRB.  
If the deviation potentially impacts the safety of patient or changes the technical integrity of 
the study then it must be reported to IEC/IRB. This is a "Major Deviation".
Minor deviations have no substantive effect on patient safety or technical integrity of the 
study.  They are often logistical in nature. The informed consent must also not be contradicted 
by the deviation. 
Visual performance assessments started at 2 minutes, or between 4 and 5 minutes after OD 
drop insertion will be considered minor deviations. Visual performance assessments started 1 
minute or less, or 6 minutes or more after OD drop insertion will be considered major 
deviations for the 3-minute LogMAR procedure (Steps 1.19 and 1.25).  
Visual performance assessments started at 8 minutes, or between 11 and 12 minutes after OD
drop insertion will be considered minor deviations. Assessments started 7 minutes or less, or 
13 minutes or more after OD drop insertion will be considered major deviations for the 10-
minute LogMAR procedure (Steps 1.20 and 1.26).  
Protocol waivers are prohibited. 
11. STUDY TERMINATION
The occurrence of one or more Unanticipated Serious Adverse Device Effect (USADE), or 
any SAE where the relationship to study agent cannot be ruled out, may result in stopping 
further dispensing of test article. In the event of a USADE or SAE, the Sponsor may unmask 
the treatment regimen for the subject(s) and will discuss this with the Investigator before any 
further subjects are enrolled. 
The Sponsor will determine when a study will be stopped. The Principal Investigator always 
has the discretion to initiate stopping the study based on patient safety or if information 
indicates the study’s results are compromised. 
JJVC reserves the right to terminate the study at any time for any reason. Additionally, the 
IEC/IRB reserves the right to terminate the study if an unreasonable risk is determined. The 
study can be terminated by the Principal Investigator at the individual clinical site due to 
specific clinical observations, if in their opinion, after a discussion with JJVC, it is determined 
that it would be unwise to continue at the clinical site.
JJVC (and the IEC/IRB and DMC, if applicable) will evaluate all adverse events. If it is 
determined that an adverse event presents an unreasonable risk, the investigation, or that part 
of the investigation presenting the risk, will be terminated as soon as possible. 
CR-6371, v4.0

Should the study be terminated (either prematurely or as scheduled), the Investigator will 
notify the IEC/IRB and Regulatory Authority as required by local regulatory requirements. 
12. PROCEDURE FOR HANDLING PRODUCT QUALITY COMPLAINTS
A Product Quality Complaint (PQC) refers to any written, electronic, or oral communication 
that alleges deficiencies related to the identity, quality, durability, reliability, safety, 
effectiveness or performance of test articles after they have been released for clinical trial use.  
Potential complaints may come from a variety of sources including but not limited to subjects, 
clinical research associates (CRA), clinical operations managers (COM), medical monitors, 
and site personnel, etc. The following are not considered product quality complaints: 
x
Subject satisfaction inquiries reported via “Subjective Questionnaires” and “Patient 
Reported Outcomes (PRO).” 
x
Clinical test articles that are stored improperly or damaged after receipt at the 
investigational site.
x
Test article replacements that occur due to missed drops. 
x
Damage deemed by clinicians or clinical staff to be caused by handling by the user, 
and not indicative of a quality deficiency, only in situations where there is no deficiency 
alleged by the subject. 
Within 24 hours of site personnel becoming aware that a PQC has occurred, the PQC must be 
recorded in the EDC system, which will trigger an automatic email notification to the 
appropriate COM/CRA and Clinical QA representative. In cases where the EDC system in use 
is not configured to send automatic notifications or when an EDC system is not used, the 
COM/CRA is responsible for notifying Clinical QA upon discovery that a PQC has occurred.   
Upon receipt of the EDC notification, the COM/CRA will contact the study site to collect 
additional information which will include: 
x
Date the complaint was received/recorded in the EDC System (Date of Sponsor 
Awareness). 
x
Who received the complaint. 
x
Study number. 
x
Clinical site information (contact name, site ID, telephone number). 
x
Lot number(s). 
x
Unique Subject Identifier(s). 
x
Indication of who first observed complaint (site personnel or subject). 
x
OD/OS indication, along with whether the lens was inserted. 
x
Any related AE number if applicable. 
x
Detailed complaint description (scheduled/unscheduled visit, wear time, symptoms, 
resolution of symptoms, etc.). 
x
Eye Care Provider objective (slit lamp) findings if applicable. 
CR-6371, v4.0

JJVC CONFIDENTIAL


Clinical Study Protocol
Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc.
x
Confirmation of product availability for return (and tracking information, if available), 
or rationale if product is not available for return 
Once a complaint is received, it will be assessed by the COM, CRA, or trained site personnel 
to determine if it is an Adverse Event/Serious Adverse Event (AE/SAE). If the complaint 
results in an AE/SAE, the COM/CRA, or trained site personnel will follow Section 13 of this 
protocol. If the AE/SAE was potentially the result of a product quality related deficiency, these 
procedures also applies and will be executed in parallel.   
In some cases, a PQC form may be generated in EDC by the site in error. In this event, the 
PQC forms will be marked “Intentionally Left Blank” or “ILB”.  Justification for ILB must be 
documented. 
13. ADVERSE EVENTS
13.1. Definitions and Classifications
Adverse Event (AE) – An AE is “any untoward medical occurrence, unintended disease or 
injury, or untoward clinical signs (including abnormal laboratory findings) in subjects, users 
or other persons, whether or not related to the investigational medical device.  
This definition includes events related to the investigational medical device or the 
comparator, and to the procedures involved. For users or other persons, this definition is 
restricted to events related to investigational medical devices1
An AE includes any condition (including a pre-existing condition) that: 
1. Was not present prior to the study, but appeared or reappeared following initiation of 
the study. 
2. Was present prior to the study, but worsened during the study. This would include any 
condition resulting from concomitant illnesses, reactions to concomitant medications, 
or progression of disease states. 
3. Pregnancy must be documented as an adverse event and must be reported to the clinical 
monitor and to the Sponsor immediately upon learning of the event. 
Serious Adverse Event (SAE) – An SAE is any adverse event that led to any of the following: 
x
Death
x
Serious deterioration in the health of the subject that resulted in any of the following: 
x
Life-threatening illness or injury 
x
Permanent or persistent impairment of a body structure or a body function 
x
Hospitalization or prolongation of patient hospitalization 
x
Medical or surgical intervention to prevent life-threatening illness or injury or 
permanent impairment to a body structure or a body function.

Any corneal event not explicitly defined as serious or significant adverse event, which 
necessitates temporary lens discontinuation < 2 weeks 
Adverse Device Effect (ADE) – An ADE is an “adverse event related to the use of an 
investigational medical device.
NOTE 1: to entry: This definition includes adverse events resulting from insufficient or 
inadequate instructions for use, deployment, implantation, installation, or operation, or 
any malfunction of the investigational medical device. 
NOTE 2 to entry: This definition includes any event resulting from use error or from 
intentional misuse of the investigational medical device.”1
Unanticipated Adverse Device Effect (UADE) – Any serious adverse effect on health or 
safety or any life-threatening problem or death caused by, or associated with, the test article, 
if that effect, problem, or death was not previously identified in nature, severity, or degree of 
incidence in the investigational plan, Investigator’s Brochure or protocol, or any other 
unanticipated serious problem associated with the test article that relates to the rights, safety 
and welfare of subjects.
13.2. Assessing Adverse Events
In conjunction with the medical monitor, the Investigator will evaluate adverse events to ensure 
the events are categorized correctly. Elements of categorization will include: 
x
Seriousness/Classifications (see definition in Section 13.1). 
x
Causality or Relatedness – i.e. the relationship between the test article, study treatment 
or study procedures and the adverse event (not related; unlikely related; possibly
related; related - see definition in Section 13.2.1). 
x
Adverse Event Severity – Adverse event severity is used to assess the degree of 
intensity of the adverse event (mild; moderate; severe for all events - see definition in 
Section 13.2.2). 
x
Outcome – not recovered or not resolved; recovering or resolving; recovered or 
resolved with sequelae; recovered or resolved; death related to adverse event;
unknown. 
x
Actions Taken – none; temporarily discontinued; permanently discontinued; other. 
13.2.1. Causality Assessment
Causality Assessment – A determination of the relationship between an adverse event and the 
test article. The test article relationship for each adverse event should be determined by the 
investigator using these explanations: 
x
Not Related- An adverse event that is not related to the use of the test article, study 
treatment or study procedures. 
x
Unlikely Related – An adverse event for which an alternative explanation is more 
likely, e.g. concomitant treatment, concomitant disease(s), or the relationship of time 
suggests that a causal relationship is not likely. 
CR-6371, v4.0
 
Page 35 of 86
JJVC CONFIDENTIAL


Clinical Study Protocol
Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc.
x
Possibly Related – An adverse event that might be due to the use of the test article, or 
to the study treatment or study procedures. An alternative explanation, e.g. concomitant 
treatment, concomitant disease(s), is inconclusive. The relationship in time is 
reasonable. Therefore, the causal relationship cannot be excluded. 
x
Related – An adverse event that is listed as a possible adverse effect (device) or adverse 
reaction (drug) and cannot be reasonably explained by an alternative explanation, e.g. 
concomitant treatment of concomitant disease(s). The relationship in time is very 
suggestive, e.g. it is confirmed by de-challenge and re-challenge. 
13.2.2. Severity Assessment
Severity Assessment – A qualitative assessment of the degree of intensity of an adverse event 
as determined by the Investigator or reported to him/her by the subject. The assessment of 
severity is made irrespective of test article, study treatment or study procedure relationship or 
seriousness of the event and should be evaluated according to the following scale: 
x
Mild – Event is noticeable to the subject, but is easily tolerated and does not interfere 
with the subject’s daily activities.
x
Moderate – Event is bothersome, possible requiring additional therapy, and may 
interfere with the subject’s daily activities.
x
Severe – Event is intolerable, necessitates additional therapy or alteration of therapy 
and interferes with the subject’s daily activities. 
13.3. Documentation and Follow-Up of Adverse Events
The recording and documenting of adverse events (ocular and non-ocular) begin when the 
subjects are exposed to the test article, study treatment or study procedure.  Adverse events 
reported before the use of test article, start of study treatment, or study procedures will be 
recorded as medical history. However, if the condition deteriorates at any time during the study 
it will be recorded and reported as an AE. Untoward medical events reported after the subject’s 
exit from the study will be recorded as adverse events at the discretion of the Investigator. 
Upon finding an adverse event, the Principal Investigator will document the condition in the 
subject record and in the eCRFs. He/she will complete the Adverse Event /eCRF.  
Complete descriptions of all adverse events must be available in the subject record. All 
Adverse Events including local and systemic reactions not meeting the criteria for “serious 
adverse events” shall be captured on the appropriate case report form or electronic data system. 
All adverse events occurring while the subject is enrolled in the study must be documented 
appropriately regardless of relationship.   
It is the Investigator’s responsibility to maintain documentation of each reported adverse event. 
All adverse events will be followed in accordance with applicable licensing requirements. Such 
documentation will include the following: 
x
Adverse event (diagnosis not symptom). 
x
Drawings or photographs (where appropriate) that detail the finding (e.g., size, 
location, and depth, etc.). 
CR-6371, v4.0

x
Date the clinical site was notified.
x
Date and time of onset.
x
Date and time of resolution.
x
Adverse event classification, severity, and relationship to test articles, as applicable. 
x
Treatment regimen instituted, including concomitant medications prescribed, in 
accordance with applicable licensing requirements.
x
Any referral to another health care provider if needed.
x
Outcome, ocular damage (if any). 
x
Likely etiology. 
x
Best corrected visual acuity at the discovery of the event and upon conclusion of the 
event. 
In addition, if an infiltrate(s) is present, he/she will complete the Corneal Infiltrate Assessment 
eCRF. Where necessary, a culture of the corneal lesion will be collected to determine if the 
infection is microbial in nature. If cultures are collected, the date of culture collection and 
laboratory utilized will be recorded.  
Changes in the severity of an AE shall be documented to allow an assessment of the duration 
of the event at each level of intensity to be performed. Adverse events characterized as 
intermittent require documentation of the onset and duration of each episode. Changes in the 
assessment of relationship to the Test Article shall also be clearly documented.
Subjects who present with an adverse event shall be followed by the Investigator, within 
licensure, until all signs and symptoms have returned to pre-treatment status, stabilized, or 
been satisfactorily resolved. If further treatment beyond licensure is required, the patient will 
be referred to the appropriate health care provider. The Investigator will use his/her clinical 
judgment as to whether a subject reporting with an adverse event will continue in the study. If 
a subject is discontinued from the study, it will be the responsibility of the Investigator to 
record the reason for discontinuation. The Investigator will also document the adverse event 
appropriately and complete the Adverse Event eCRF. Any subjects with ongoing adverse 
events related to the test article, study treatment or study procedures, as of the final study visit 
date, should be followed to resolution of the adverse event or until referral to an appropriate 
health care provider, as recommended by the Investigator. Non-ocular adverse events that are 
not related to the test article, study treatment, or study procedures may be recorded as 
“ongoing” without further follow-up. 
13.4. Reporting Adverse Events 
The Investigator will notify the Sponsor of an adverse event by e-mail, facsimile, or telephone 
as soon as possible and no later than 24 hours from discovery for any serious /significant 
adverse events, and 2 days from discovery for any non-significant adverse event. In addition, 
a written report will be submitted by the Principal Investigator to the IEC/IRB according to 
their requirements (Section 13.4.2). The report will comment whether the adverse event was 
considered to be related to the test article, study treatment or study procedures.

13.4.1. Reporting Adverse Events to Sponsor 
Serious/Significant Adverse Events
The Investigator will inform the sponsor of all serious/significant adverse events occurring 
during the study period as soon as possible by e-mail, fax, or telephone, but no later than 24 
hours following discovery of the event. The Investigator is obligated to pursue and obtain 
information requested by the Sponsor in addition to that information reported on the eCRF. All 
subjects experiencing a serious/significant adverse event must be followed up and all outcomes 
must be reported. 
When medically necessary, the Investigator may break the randomization code to determine 
the identity of the treatment that the subject received. The Sponsor and study monitor should 
be notified prior to unmasking the test articles. 
In the event of a serious/significant adverse event, the Investigator must: 
x
Notify the Sponsor immediately.
x
Obtain and maintain in the subject’s records all pertinent medical information and 
medical judgment for colleagues who assisted in the treatment and follow-up of the 
subject.
x
Provide the Sponsor with a complete case history which includes a statement as to 
whether the event was or was not related to the use of the test article. 
x
Notify the IEC/IRB as required by the IEC/IRB reporting procedure according to 
national regulations. 
Unanticipated (Serious) Adverse Device Effect (UADE)
In the event of an Unanticipated (Serious) Adverse Device Effect (UADE), the Investigator 
will submit a report of the UADE to the Sponsor and IEC/IRB as soon as possible, but no later 
than 24 hours after the Investigator first learns of the effect. This report is in addition to the 
immediate notification mentioned above.
The Sponsor must conduct an evaluation of the UADE and must report the results of the 
evaluation to FDA, the IEC/IRB and participating Investigators within 10 working days after 
the Sponsor first receives notification of the effect. 
Non-Serious Adverse Events
All non-serious adverse events, including non-serious adverse device effects, will be reported 
to the sponsor by the Investigator no later than 2 days from discovery. 
13.4.2. Reporting Adverse Events to the Responsible IEC/IRB and Health Authorities
Adverse events that meet the IEC/IRB requirements for reporting must be reported within the 
IEC/IRB’s written guidelines. Each clinical site will refer to and follow any guidelines set forth 
by their Approving IEC/IRB. Each clinical site will refer to and follow any guidelines set forth 
by their local governing Health Authorities. 
The Sponsor will report applicable Adverse Events to the local health authorities according the 
written guidelines, including reporting timelines.

13.4.3. Event of Special Interest
None 
13.5. Reporting of Pregnancy 
Subjects reporting pregnancy (by self-report) during the study will be discontinued after the 
event is recorded as an Adverse Event. Once discontinued, pregnant participants and their 
fetuses will not be monitored for study related purposes. 
Pregnant participants are not discontinued from contact lens or solution related studies for 
safety concerns, but due to general concerns relating to pregnancy and contact lens use. 
Specifically, pregnant women are discontinued due to fluctuations in refractive error and/or 
visual acuity that occur secondary to systemic hormonal changes, and not due to unforeseen 
health risks to the mother or fetus. 
14. STATISTICAL METHODS
14.1. General Considerations
Statistical Analysis will be undertaken by the sponsor or under the authority of the sponsor. A 
general description of the statistical methods to be implemented in this clinical trial is outlined 
below.
All data summaries and statistical analyses will be performed using the SAS software Version 
9.4 or higher (SAS Institute, Cary, NC)7. Throughout the analysis of data, the results for each 
subject/eye will be used when available for summarization. Unscheduled visits will be 
summarized separately.
Summary tables (descriptive statistics and/or frequency tables) will be provided for all baseline 
variables, efficacy variables and safety variables as appropriate. Continuous variables will be
