Vehicle
Vehicle (placebo) dosed QID for up to 30 days in subjects with inflammatory meibomian gland disease Vehicle: The vehicle control has the same composition as KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension except it does not contain loteprednol etabonate. The vehicle is essentially isotonic and is buffered to maintain pH 5.0 - 7.0. It is a sterile, aqueous solution supplied in the same white, low-density polyethylene plastic dropper bottle with the same white, controlled-drop polyethylene tip and white polypropylene closure as KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension.
KPI-121 0.25% Ophthalmic Suspension
KPI-121 0.25% Ophthalmic Suspension dosed QID for up to 30 days in subjects with inflammatory meibomian gland disease KPI-121: KPI-121 drug product will be supplied in 0.25% strength as a suspension in opaque dropper bottles. KPI-121 drug product is a sterile, aqueous, submicron suspension of loteprednol etabonate.
