Summary

This trial will test a new ointment to treat a common eye condition called meibomian gland dysfunction. Participants will either receive the new ointment or a placebo, and will apply it

Who is the study for?
This clinical trial is for individuals with abnormal meibomian gland function leading to Dry Eye Disease (DED). Specific details about who can join or reasons why someone might not be able to participate are not provided.
What is being tested?
The study compares the effects of an ointment called AZR-MD-001 against a placebo (vehicle) in treating dry eye symptoms. Participants will use their assigned treatment at bedtime twice a week for up to one year, and the process is double-masked so neither participants nor researchers know who gets which treatment.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are not listed, but as with any eye ointment, there could be risks such as eye irritation, discomfort, redness, or allergic reactions.
