Abstract Designated Reviewers' Choice Abstract, Representing Top 10% of Submissions

LEXINGTON, Mass., Oct. 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Aldeyra Therapeutics, Inc. ALDX (Aldeyra), a clinical-stage biotechnology company devoted to treating inflammation, inborn errors of metabolism, and other diseases related to endogenous aldehyde toxicity, today announced it will present novel data on the efficacy of ADX-102 in a model of Succinic Semialdehyde Dehydrogenase Deficiency (SSADHD) at the 2017 American Society of Human Genetics Annual Meeting, to be held on October 17 - 21 in Orlando, Florida.

The abstract summarizing the data was ranked within the top 10% of submissions, and was designated a Reviewers' Choice Abstract.

SSADHD is a rare inborn error of aldehyde metabolism caused by elevations of succinic semialdehyde, a toxic aldehyde that can lead to severe neurological disability.  By trapping succinic semialdehyde, ADX-102 represents a potential novel approach for the treatment of SSADHD.

Details of the presentation are as follows:

Title:

The novel aldehyde trap ADX-102 reduces accumulations of GHB and GABA in brain tissue from succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase-deficient mice.

About Succinic Semialdehyde Dehydrogenase Deficiency
Succinic Semialdehyde Dehydrogenase Deficiency (SSADHD) is a neurological disease caused by genetic mutations that result in elevated levels of succinic semialdehyde, a toxic aldehyde that can cause severe neurological disease, including motor planning dysfunction, seizures, speech impairment, intellectual disability, and autism.  There is currently no FDA-approved therapy for SSADHD.

About Aldeyra Therapeutics
Aldeyra Therapeutics, Inc. is a biotechnology company devoted to improving lives by inventing, developing and commercializing products that treat diseases thought to be related to endogenous aldehydes, a naturally occurring class of pro-inflammatory and toxic molecules.  Aldeyra's lead product candidate, ADX-102, is an aldehyde trap in development as topical eye drops for the treatment of ocular inflammation. ADX-102 has now been tested in over 250 patients in Phase 2 clinical trials in dry eye disease, allergic conjunctivitis, and noninfectious anterior uveitis. A dermatologic form of ADX-102 is in late-stage clinical development for the treatment of ichthyosis due to Sjögren-Larsson Syndrome, an inborn error of aldehyde metabolism. ADX-102 has not been approved for sale in the U.S. or elsewhere.
