The Ophthalmology segment focuses on the research, development, and commercialization of innovative therapies for ocular diseases. Aldeyra's primary focus in this segment is on reproxalap, a RASP modulator, currently in Phase III clinical trials for dry eye disease and allergic conjunctivitis. Research and development activities include ongoing clinical trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of reproxalap. The company utilizes advanced technologies and methodologies to modulate reactive aldehyde species (RASP) to address inflammation and improve ocular surface health. The patient impact is significant, as these therapies aim to alleviate the symptoms of dry eye disease and allergic conjunctivitis, improving the quality of life for millions. Aldeyra's market positioning is strengthened by its focus on unmet needs in ophthalmology and its innovative approach to treating these conditions. Future opportunities include expanding the application of RASP modulation to other ocular diseases. Regulatory and clinical aspects involve navigating the FDA approval process and conducting rigorous clinical trials to demonstrate safety and efficacy. Partnerships and collaborations are essential for advancing clinical development and commercialization efforts.

This segment encompasses the development of therapies for systemic immune-mediated diseases. Aldeyra is developing ADX-629, an orally administered RASP modulator, currently in Phase II clinical trials for psoriasis, asthma, and COVID-19. The company also has ADX-2191, a dihydrofolate reductase inhibitor, in Phase 3 for the prevention of proliferative vitreoretinopathy and Phase II for retinitis pigmentosa and primary vitreoretinal lymphoma. Research and development activities include conducting clinical trials to assess the safety and efficacy of these drug candidates. The technologies and methodologies employed involve RASP modulation and dihydrofolate reductase inhibition to target inflammatory pathways. The therapeutic areas covered include psoriasis, asthma, COVID-19, and retinal diseases. The patient impact is aimed at providing effective treatments for these conditions, improving patient outcomes, and addressing unmet medical needs. Market positioning is based on the development of innovative therapies for systemic diseases. Future opportunities include expanding the pipeline to address additional immune-mediated diseases. Regulatory and clinical aspects involve obtaining regulatory approvals and conducting clinical trials. Partnerships and collaborations are crucial for advancing the development and commercialization of these therapies.
