ALDX Investor Alert: Aldeyra Therapeutics Securities Fraud Lawsuit - Investors With Losses May Seek to Lead the Class Action After Executive Allegedly Approved Misleading Disclosures: Levi & Korsinsky
Executive Accountability: Michael Alferi Named in Securities Action
NEW YORK, April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Levi & Korsinsky, LLP notifies investors that Michael Alferi, Head of Finance, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer of Aldeyra Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALDX), is named as an individual defendant in a securities class action covering purchases between November 3, 2023 and March 16, 2026. Find out if you can recover losses tied to this executive's alleged misconduct. You may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at [email protected] or (212) 363-7500.
Aldeyra shares lost $2.99 per share, a 70.7% decline, after the FDA issued a Complete Response Letter rejecting reproxalap for dry eye disease. The lead plaintiff deadline is May 29, 2026.
Michael Alferi's Role During the Class Period
Alferi assumed the role of Head of Finance, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer on August 31, 2024, the action contends. From that date forward, Alferi co-signed Aldeyra's SEC filings alongside CEO Todd C. Brady, including the FY24 Report on Form 10-K and the FY25 Report on Form 10-K. These filings repeated claims that reproxalap had "demonstrated broad-based, rapid-onset activity and consistent safety across a number of Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials," as alleged in the complaint.
What Alferi Allegedly Oversaw
As principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, Alferi bore direct responsibility for the accuracy of the Company's periodic filings, as identified in the action:
- Co-signed the FY24 Report filed February 28, 2025, which restated clinical trial efficacy claims the FDA later deemed unreliable
- Co-signed the FY25 Report filed February 27, 2026, just 18 days before the FDA's Complete Response Letter exposed the inconsistency of reproxalap trial results
- Served as principal accounting officer with oversight of disclosures that allegedly omitted material adverse information about trial reliability
- Participated in the management and day-to-day operations of Aldeyra at senior levels, as averred in the complaint
Alferi's Certifications and Liability
The complaint charges that Alferi, along with the other Individual Defendants, directly participated in drafting, producing, reviewing, and disseminating statements that were materially false and misleading. As a controlling person of Aldeyra within the meaning of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, Alferi allegedly exercised power and authority over the contents of reports and public filings disseminated during the Class Period.
