NCT ID NCT06400511
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a medicated ointment called pimecrolimus 0.3% for people with blepharitis, a condition that causes red, irritated eyelids. The trial planned to include 477 participants aged 2 and older, applying the ointment twice daily to the eyelid margins. The main goal was to see if it could clear eyelid debris and reduce discomfort. However, the study was terminated early, so final results are not available.
