FDA accepts Sydnexis’ NDA for SYD-101 in pediatric myopia

FDA approves Beovu label update to include safety information

Sydnexis, Inc announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has accepted its New Drug Application (NDA) for SYD-101, a low-dose atropine formulation aimed at slowing the progression of pediatric myopia. The FDA has set a target action date of October 23, 2025, under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act.

If approved, SYD-101 would become the first pharmaceutical treatment available in the U.S. for managing myopia progression in children. The NDA submission is backed by data from the STAR Study, a Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating the drug’s effectiveness over 3 years. The company hopes this milestone will pave the way for new options to reduce the long-term risks associated with myopia.
