Soligenix Highlights Positive Clinical Results Published in Peer-Reviewed Dermatology Journal

Shares in late-stage biopharmaceutical company, Soligenix, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNGX), climbed more than 7.0% on Thursday morning after the company announced that the results of its compatibility study evaluating HyBryte™ (synthetic hypericin) for the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) were published in the peer-reviewed Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology & Venereology (JEADV) Clinical Practice.

Brian Poligone, MD, PhD, Director of the Rochester Skin Lymphoma Medical Group, Fairport, NY, and Principal Investigator for the compatibility study and Leading Enrolling Investigator in Soligenix’s FLASH study, said that the publication highlights the positive clinical results from the study.

“Being able to share the important results of this clinical trial with the world through publication in JEADV is a privilege and highlights the clinical significance of our work with HyBryte™. I have seen firsthand the promise this therapy can offer patients and was happy to build upon our knowledge working with HyBryte™ in a clinical setting reflective of real-world use.”

The JEADV published details of Soligenix’s open-label study, which enrolled nine patients to receive HyBryte™ treatment of their cancerous lesions over an eight-week period. Results in individual lesions showed that 7 of the 27 index lesions (25.9%) had at least a 50% improvement in their modified Composite Assessment of Index Lesion Severity (mCAILS) score and 4 of the 27 index lesions (14.8%) were completely resolved after as little as 8 weeks of treatment. The treatment response results confirm the results of Soligenix’s Phase 3 FLASH (Fluorescent Light Activated Synthetic Hypericin) trial published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Dermatology.

“The ease at which photodynamic therapy with HyBryte™ is conducted and the outstanding safety profile we continue to see as demonstrated by the systemic exposure and cardiac results reviewed in this paper makes me very excited for its potential future clinical use,” said Dr. Poligone.

Soligenix expects to conduct a confirmatory placebo-controlled Phase 3 FLASH2 study in the second half of 2024.
