Approval Updates
Aldeyra resubmitted its application seeking approval for Reproxalap in July after previous rejections. While the agency was initially expected to rule on the application by December, it later extended it until March 16 to review the additional submissions made by the company as proof of efficacy of its therapy. The company then said that the FDA made no requests or flagged any specific issues with its application review in a meeting in December.
Aldeyra first submitted an application to the FDA for Reproxalap in November 2022, but the agency asked for more trials. The company subsequently resubmitted its application in October 2024 but it was rejected in April with the FDA saying the company’s trials failed to demonstrate its efficacy.
