Aldeyra Announces Positive Top-Line Phase 1 Clinical Trial Results and Clinical Development Plans for ADX-629
Aldeyra Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALDX) (Aldeyra), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development of novel therapies with the potential to improve the lives of patients with immune-mediated diseases, today announced positive top-line Phase 1 clinical trial results for ADX-629, a first-in-class orally available reactive aldehyde species (RASP) inhibitor in development for the treatment of systemic immune-mediated diseases. Aldeyra also announced Phase 2 clinical development plans for ADX-629.
Aldeyra plans to facilitate the clinical testing of ADX-629 in patients with COVID-19-associated respiratory compromise by requesting a pre-investigational new drug meeting with the Infectious Disease Division of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In addition, Aldeyra has filed ADX-629 under the FDA’s Coronavirus Treatment Acceleration Program (CTAP). By potentially mitigating aberrant cytokine responses, ADX-629 may delay or prevent progression of acute respiratory distress syndrome and other forms of respiratory compromise that generally require mechanical ventilation.
