    Elaine Kim's questions to Aldeyra Therapeutics (ALDX) leadership

    Elaine Kim's questions to Aldeyra Therapeutics (ALDX) leadership • Q1 2022

    Question

    Elaine Kim of Berenberg asked if the convenience of ADX-2191's formulation would be sufficient to compete against compounded methotrexate and inquired about any feedback received from KOLs or payers.

    Answer

    CEO Dr. Todd Brady emphasized that the primary advantage of ADX-2191 is safety, as a GMP-manufactured product significantly reduces the risk of contamination and serious infection compared to compounded drugs. He confirmed that Aldeyra has been engaging with payers and noted that the growing off-label use of methotrexate for PVR is a positive indicator for the adoption of a safer, approved product. He also mentioned plans to update on the NDA submission timeline for ADX-2191 later in the year.
