Aldeyra Therapeutics shares were up 9.2% in premarket trading after achieving the primary endpoint in a Phase 3 clinical trial of a dry eye disease treatment.

Shares were recently trading around $3.56. The stock is down 7.1% on the year.

The biotechnology company said Reproxalap was statistically superior to vehicle for the prespecified primary endpoint of ocular discomfort, a Food and Drug Administration accepted symptom of dry eye disease.

Aldeyra said the trial was designed to satisfy the FDA's new drug application resubmission requirement, which is expected to take place this year. The review period by the FDA is expected to be six months.
