The Safety Review Committee reviewed the four-week safety/tolerability data for the third and final patient cohort in the SAD study and confirmed that there are no safety concerns in any of the three doses assessed in the study, the filing said.

ADOA is a blinding eye disease affecting 1 in every 35,000 people.

The phase 1/2 MAD study is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of the year, per the filing.
