Sung Hong's questions to Aldeyra Therapeutics (ALDX) leadership • Q3 2022
Question
Sung Hong, on for Thomas Shrader, asked for more detail on Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy (PVR), including which patients represent the initial target market, what is needed to broaden the drug's use, and if a high-risk surgical subset exists.
Answer
President and CEO Dr. Todd Brady clarified that the GUARD trial enrolled patients with recurrent retinal detachments and open globe injuries, with risk increasing with recurrence frequency. He highlighted the compelling efficacy and safety data. With no approved drugs and an orphan designation for prevention, he suggested ADX-2191 could be used broadly if approved, potentially even as a preventative measure in high-risk patients before PVR develops, which would be a key part of its clinical adoption.
