Aldeyra Therapeutics Announces Development Programs at 2018 Research Day

LEXINGTON, Mass., June 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Aldeyra Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALDX) (Aldeyra), a biotechnology company devoted to the development of next-generation medicines to improve the lives of patients with immune-mediated diseases, announced product development programs in systemic inflammatory disease, retinal disease, and cancer at the company's 2018 Research Day.

"Complementing our late-stage product candidate reproxalap, we have continued to execute on our mission of expanding our pipeline across multiple mechanisms of action and multiple molecular compositions," commented Todd C. Brady, M.D., Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Aldeyra. "We are pleased to announce programs in immune-mediated disease, including inflammatory bowel disease, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, retinal inflammation, lymphoproliferative immune disease, and cancer."

Research Programs and Expected Milestones

• ADX-629 for the Treatment of Systemic Immune-Mediated Disease  
  ADX-629 is an analog of reproxalap that diminished inflammatory cytokine release in animal models, which has been linked to multiple immune diseases such as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Phase 1 clinical testing of ADX-629 is expected to start in 2019.
                                                                
• ADX-103 for the Treatment of Inflammatory Retinal Disease
  ADX-103 is a novel RASP (Reactive Aldehydes Species that are Pro-inflammatory) inhibitor in development for the treatment of inflammatory retinal disease such as potentially diabetic macular edema, dry age-related macular degeneration, or posterior uveitis.  Phase 1/2 clinical testing of ADX-103 is expected to start in 2019.
                                                        
• ADX-1612 for Lymphoproliferative Immune Disease and Cancer
  ADX-1612 is a novel HSP90 inhibitor in development for the treatment of post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder and cancer.  Hsp90 is a protein that facilitates cell replication, which is excessive and uncontrolled in certain inflammatory diseases and cancer.  ADX-1612 is currently being studied in investigator-sponsored trials for mesothelioma, with clinical results expected in the second half of 2018, and ovarian cancer, with Phase 2 clinical trial initiation expected in the second half of 2018.  Aldeyra is further developing ADX-1612 for the treatment of lymphoproliferative immune disease, with Phase 2 clinical testing expected to start in 2019.  The company is also developing an oral pro-drug of ADX-1612, ADX-1615, for the treatment of chronic immune-mediated disorders and cancer.
