Soligenix Submits Type A Meeting Request for FDA Review of Confirmatory Phase 3 Study Design

Late-stage biotechnology company, Soligenix, Inc., (Nasdaq: SNGX) has submitted a Type A meeting request to the FDA to review its proposed study design for a second Phase 3 Study evaluating HyBryte™ in the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL).

The Type A meeting is the highest priority classification of meeting the FDA grants and is expected to occur approximately 30 days from the FDA’s receipt of Soligenix’s meeting request. Soligenix stated its appreciation for the FDA’s responsiveness and continued collaboration demonstrated by categorizing this meeting as a Type A meeting.

Highlights

 Soligenix has submitted a meeting request to the FDA to initiate formal discussions regarding the design of a second, Phase 3 pivotal study evaluating HyBryte™ (hypericin sodium) in the treatment of early stage CTCL, a rare cancer.

In April 2023, Soligenix attended a Type A meeting with the FDA. The FDA expressed its understanding of the need for additional therapies in CTCL, its willingness to work with Soligenix and provided significant insights regarding the design of a future Phase 3 trial.

The company has previously successfully demonstrated statistically significant results in a Phase 3 clinical trial assessing HyBryte™ in CTCL.

HyBryte™ (research name SGX301) is a novel, first-in-class, photodynamic therapy utilizing safe, visible light for activation.

HyBryte™ is a potent photosensitizer that is topically applied to skin lesions, taken up by malignant T-cells, and then activated by visible light approximately 24 hours later.
