Aldeyra Therapeutics Announces Expansion of RASP Platform to Include Central Nervous System Diseases and Provides Updates on Reproxalap at Research & Development Webcast
LEXINGTON, Mass. --(BUSINESS WIRE)
Aldeyra Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALDX) (Aldeyra), a biotechnology company devoted to discovering and developing innovative therapies designed to treat immune-mediated diseases, today announced at a research and development webcast the expansion of the RASP platform to include programs in central nervous system diseases associated with inflammation, and provided updated manufacturing information on reproxalap.
- Based on new preclinical results in models of Parkinson’s disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, which included improved grip strength, balance, and biomarkers of central nervous system function, potential clinical indications for the orally administered, next-generation RASP modulator ADX-248 were expanded to include neuroinflammatory diseases that affect the central nervous system.
- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) completed routine site inspections of reproxalap drug substance and drug product manufacturing facilities in 2025. The inspections resulted in Voluntary Action Indicated (VAI) designations, and the FDA has notified the manufacturers that the inspections are closed, and that no further action was necessary.
“A testament to the growing opportunity for immune-modulating therapeutic approaches, the new results announced today in preclinical models of neurological diseases associated with inflammation highlight the potentially broad applicability of ADX-248 and other next-generation RASP modulators as novel product candidates for the treatment of a number of clinical indications,” stated Todd C. Brady, M.D., Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Aldeyra. “We look forward to providing future updates on ADX-248, reproxalap, and other RASP modulators as we advance our therapeutic pipeline.”

About Aldeyra
Aldeyra 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.
