Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the effect of two dosing regimens, BID versus TID dosing, of an Exploratory Vehicle (EV) on meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) in patients with Demodex lid infestation.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a prospective, randomized controlled, three-arm, investigator- and interpreter-masked study. This study is intended to compare the effect of two dosing regimens of an exploratory vehicle on meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) in participants with Demodex lid infestation. Approximately 12 participants will be enrolled in each arm. The administration period will last for approximately 85 days.
