About HyBryte™
- HyBryte is a synthetic hypericin ointment that can be combined with fluorescent light to treat early-stage CTCL
- Treatment uses safe, visible light, allowing patients to avoid the short and long-term side effects of DNA-damaging UV light
- The HyBryte study was a multi-center randomized, controlled blinded trial held in the US
- 169 patients were enrolled in the study which consisted of three cycles, each six weeks long, with two treatments per week, and a two week rest period before results were measured
- Efficacy results from the Phase 3 trial showed that 49% of patients receiving 3 cycles of HyBryte responded to treatment.
- The HyBryte response rate is comparable to other skin-directed therapies studied and the safety profile was excellent, with responses seen in both patch and deeper plaque lesions
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease affecting over eight million Americans and 125 million people around the world. The global market for psoriasis drugs is anticipated to reach as much as $40 billion by 2027.
Soligenix has demonstrated positive proof-of-concept of synthetic hypericin in a small Phase 1/2 pilot study in mild-to-moderate psoriasis patients and will be expanding this novel therapy in psoriasis with a Phase 2a clinical study. Patient enrollment is expected to begin in the second half of 2022.
The company has a strong cash position and does not anticipate needing to raise additional capital to support this Phase 2a trial.
