Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of this study is to establish whether patients with dry eye disease (DED) are able to tolerate receiving Brimonidine: 0.15% eye drops two times a day for twelve weeks (primary tolerability objective) and to investigate the preliminary efficacy of Brimonidine 0.15% topical eye drop solution in treating Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) (primary efficacy objective).

Meibomian Gland dysfunction can happen with numerous conditions such as Rosacea, Sjögren's syndrome, and oGVHD. In order to limit the influence of differing etiologies on the outcome of this trial, the investigator has limited the screening to MGD that accompanies oGVHD.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Aged 18 years or older.
2. Capable of giving informed consent and does provide informed consent.
3. Diagnosis of Meibomian Gland Disease
4. Women must be post-menopausal ≥ 1 year, or surgically sterilized. If not, a negative urine pregnancy test is required within 7 days of the participant receiving first dose of study drug along with definite evidence of contraceptive use during the duration of the study. Women of reproductive age should use a method of birth control that is acceptable to the participant and the study doctor. This may include oral contraceptive pills, birth control implants, barrier methods or abstinence. If a participant suspects pregnancy after being enrolled, another pregnancy test will be administered. If the test is positive, the participant will be discontinued from the study immediately.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Allergic to Brimonidine or any similar products, or excipients of Brimonidine
2. Currently receiving any Brimonidine preparation as a part of glaucoma management
3. Receiving or have received within 30 days any experimental systemic medication.
4. Active ocular infection or ocular allergies.
5. Any history of eyelid surgery or ocular surgery within the past 3 months.
6. Corneal epithelial defect larger than 1 mm2 in either eye.
7. Have active drug/alcohol dependence or abuse history.
8. Vulnerable populations, such as neonates, pregnant women, children, prisoners, institutionalized individuals, or others who may be considered vulnerable populations.
