Clinical Trial Results and Potential New
Drug Application Resubmission Expected in the Second Half of
2024
Aldeyra Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALDX) (Aldeyra), a
biotechnology company devoted to discovering and developing
innovative therapies designed to treat immune-mediated and
metabolic diseases, today announced the completion of enrollment in
a Phase 3 dry eye chamber clinical trial of topical ocular 0.25%
reproxalap, an investigational RASP modulator, for the treatment of
dry eye disease. The trial is designed to enable potential
resubmission of a dry eye disease New Drug Application (NDA) in the
second half of 2024.

In the clinical trial, a total of 132 patients were enrolled to
assess the primary endpoint of ocular discomfort. Initiation of
enrollment was announced in May 2024. In four previously completed
dry eye chamber clinical trials of reproxalap, when analyzed in
aggregate with the trial design and statistical plan discussed with
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), ocular discomfort in
the dry eye chamber following treatment with reproxalap was
statistically lower than that of vehicle (p=0.0003).
“We believe the rapid enrollment of the Phase 3 clinical trial
is consistent with the unmet medical need that exists for patients
suffering from dry eye disease,” stated Todd C. Brady, M.D., Ph.D.,
President and Chief Executive Officer of Aldeyra. “We anticipate
receiving results from the clinical trial in the third quarter of
2024, and, contingent on positive results, we remain on track to
resubmit the dry eye disease NDA for reproxalap in the second half
of 2024.”
Aldeyra intends to include in the potential NDA resubmission a
draft label for reproxalap describing chronic and acute improvement
in symptoms and ocular redness. To Aldeyra’s knowledge, if
approved, the draft label could represent the first dry eye disease
label that incorporates clinical data assessed acutely in a dry eye
chamber, and potentially the first dry eye disease label that
includes reduction in ocular redness for a chronically administered
drug. Per FDA guidance, the review period for the potential NDA
resubmission is expected to be six months.
A Phase 3 clinical trial of reproxalap at a different dry eye
chamber, in addition to a traditional six-week field clinical
trial, are being conducted in parallel as part of a comprehensive
strategy designed to account for disease heterogeneity and
potential differences in clinical sites and environment.
About Aldeyra Aldeyra Therapeutics is a biotechnology
company devoted to discovering innovative therapies designed to
treat immune-mediated and metabolic diseases. Our approach is to
develop pharmaceuticals that modulate protein systems, instead of
directly inhibiting or activating single protein targets, with the
goal of optimizing multiple pathways at once while minimizing
toxicity. Our product candidates include RASP (reactive aldehyde
species) modulators ADX-629, ADX-246, ADX-248, and chemically
related molecules for the potential treatment of immune-mediated
and metabolic diseases. Our late-stage product candidates are
reproxalap, a RASP modulator for the potential treatment of dry eye
disease and allergic conjunctivitis, and ADX-2191, a novel
formulation of intravitreal methotrexate for the potential
treatment of retinitis pigmentosa.
