Contact lenses imbued with an antihistamine drug reduced itchy eyes in a pair of older studies funded by the vision business at Johnson & Johnson(NYSE:JNJ), the company said today.
The Phase 3 studies, conducted in 2007, involved a total of 244 patients, divided into three cohorts. In the first patients wore a plain lens made of etafilcon a in one eye and the same lens treated with 0.019mg of the drug ketotifen in the other eye. In the second group, patients wore treated lenses in both eyes; the third group was the control, consisting of patients wearing placebo lenses in both eyes. There were about 40 subjects in each group.
