Aldeyra Therapeutics Announces First Patient Enrolled in Noninfectious Anterior Uveitis Phase 3 Clinical Trial
"Based on positive results from our Phase 2 clinical trial announced last year, we are excited to commence Phase 3 clinical testing of our novel aldehyde trap, ADX-102, in noninfectious anterior uveitis," commented
ADX-102 and other product candidates generated from Aldeyra's aldehyde trap platform sequester and facilitate the degradation of aldehydes, a class of endogenously generated pro-inflammatory mediators. In a Phase 2 clinical trial in NAU, 0.5% topical ocular ADX-102 led to the resolution of inflammation to the same degree as corticosteroid therapy, but without the increases in intraocular pressure observed in corticosteroid-treated patients.
The Phase 3 clinical trial is expected to enroll up to 100 NAU patients with active disease, randomized equally to receive either 0.5% topical ocular ADX-102 or vehicle for four weeks. Consistent with the Phase 2 trial, the primary endpoint will be the resolution of inflammation. Results of the Phase 3 trial are expected in the second half of 2018.
A clinical trial synopsis will be available on www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT03131154).
