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 resubmission of a New Drug Application (NDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for topical ocular reproxalap, an investigational new drug candidate, for the treatment of signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. The resubmission includes previously disclosed positive results from a recently completed dry eye disease symptom trial requested by the FDA following review of the previously submitted NDA, as well as a draft label reflecting acute activity in reducing dry eye symptoms in a dry eye chamber trial, chronic activity in reducing dry eye symptoms in a field trial, and acute activity in reducing ocular redness in two dry eye chamber trials.

“If approved, reproxalap would have the potential to be the first dry eye disease therapy for chronic use with pivotal data demonstrating acute activity in reducing dry eye symptoms and ocular redness, two characteristics of dry eye disease of primary importance to patients,” stated Todd C. Brady, M.D., Ph.D., Aldeyra’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

In August 2024, Aldeyra announced the achievement of the primary endpoint in a Phase 3 randomized, double-masked, vehicle-controlled dry eye chamber clinical trial of reproxalap in patients with dry eye disease. Reproxalap was statistically superior to vehicle for the prespecified primary endpoint of ocular discomfort (P=0.004), an FDA-accepted symptom of dry eye disease. To Aldeyra’s knowledge, the results represented the first positive Phase 3 clinical trial in a dry eye chamber with a symptom as a primary endpoint, and Aldeyra believes that results are supportive of the potential rapid clinical effect of reproxalap on reducing the ocular discomfort associated with dry eye disease.

The Prescription Drug User Fee Act target guidelines for NDA resubmissions include acknowledgment of acceptance for review within 30 days of submission, and completion of submission review within 6 months.

About Reproxalap

Reproxalap is an investigational new drug candidate in development for the treatment of dry eye disease and allergic conjunctivitis, two of the largest markets in ophthalmology. Reproxalap is a first-in-class small-molecule modulator of RASP, which are elevated in ocular and systemic inflammatory diseases. The mechanism of action of reproxalap has been supported by the demonstration of statistically significant and clinically relevant activity in multiple physiologically distinct late-phase clinical indications. Reproxalap has been studied in more than 2,500 patients with no observed safety concerns; mild and transient instillation site irritation is the most commonly reported adverse event in clinical trials.

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-248, ADX-743, ADX-631, and chemically related molecules for the potential treatment of systemic and retinal 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.
