Aldeyra Therapeutics Receives Complete Response Letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the Reproxalap New Drug Application for the Treatment of Signs and Symptoms of Dry Eye Disease
LEXINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 17, 2026-- Aldeyra Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALDX) (Aldeyra), a biotechnology company devoted to discovering and developing innovative therapies designed to treat immune-mediated diseases, today announced receipt of a Complete Response Letter (CRL) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the New Drug Application (NDA) of reproxalap, an investigational drug candidate, for the treatment of dry eye disease. The CRL stated that there is “a lack of substantial evidence consisting of adequate and well-controlled investigations … that the drug product will have the effect it purports or is represented to have under the conditions of use prescribed, recommended, or suggested in its proposed labeling” and that “the application has failed to demonstrate efficacy in adequate and well controlled studies in the treatment of signs and symptoms of dry eye disease.” The letter also stated that the “inconsistency of study results raises serious concerns about the reliability and meaningfulness of the positive findings” and that the “totality of evidence from the completed clinical trials does not support the effectiveness of the product.” Consistent with prior NDA reviews of reproxalap, no safety or manufacturing concerns were identified.
During the NDA review, label drafts were provided by the FDA in December 2025 and again in March 2026. Aldeyra does not believe that label negotiations were completed.
The FDA recommended that the reasons for failure in certain trials be explored, and that populations or certain conditions in which reproxalap may be effective be identified. The FDA did not recommend conducting additional trials or request submission of additional confirmatory evidence. As such, Aldeyra does not currently expect to pursue additional clinical trials, and intends to expeditiously request a Type A meeting to understand the actions needed for NDA approval. Per Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) goals, the target Type A meeting date is within 30 days of receipt of the meeting request.
“To the thousands of American and Canadian patients who participated in our clinical trials and to the tens of millions of patients with dry eye disease worldwide, I want to assure you that we will work with urgency to support the FDA in enabling market access to what is, to our knowledge, the only drug with clinical activity within minutes of administration in patients with dry eye disease, a condition that is today treated with medications that require weeks or months of treatment to achieve even modest improvement,” stated Todd C. Brady, M.D., Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Aldeyra.
As of December 31, 2025, Aldeyra reported cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $70 million, which are expected to support operations into 2028.
About AldeyraAldeyra Therapeutics is a biotechnology company devoted to discovering innovative therapies designed to treat immune-mediated 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-248, ADX-246, and chemically related molecules for the potential treatment of systemic and retinal immune-mediated 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 primary vitreoretinal lymphoma and retinitis pigmentosa.
