Soligenix, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNGX) is a late-stage biopharmaceutical company headquartered in Princeton, New Jersey. The company is dedicated to developing and commercializing products that address unmet medical needs, particularly in the areas of inflammation, oncology, and biodefense. Soligenix operates through two business segments: Specialized BioTherapeutics and Public Health Solutions.
Under the Specialized BioTherapeutics segment, Soligenix focuses on rare disease treatments. Key projects include HyBryte™ (SGX301), a novel photodynamic therapy using synthetic hypericin for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). HyBryte™ has shown promising results in Phase 3 clinical trials and is on track for regulatory approvals in the United States and Europe. Other development programs include SGX302 for psoriasis, SGX942 for oral mucositis in head and neck cancer, and SGX945 for Behçet's disease.
The Public Health Solutions segment emphasizes vaccine development and biodefense. Notable projects include RiVax®, a ricin toxin vaccine candidate, and thermostable vaccine candidates for filoviruses such as Marburg and Ebola. These vaccines are developed using the company's proprietary heat stabilization platform technology, ThermoVax®. Soligenix has also been active in developing CiVax™, a vaccine candidate for COVID-19.
Recent achievements include additional patents for their trivalent filovirus vaccine platform and positive clinical trial results for HyBryte™. Financially, the company reported a net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, but successfully raised $4.75 million through a public offering. Soligenix has also secured significant non-dilutive government funding to support its various development programs.
Partnerships with esteemed institutions like the University of Hawaiʽi at Mānoa and funding from organizations such as the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) further bolster Soligenix's research and development efforts. With a robust pipeline and strategic collaborations, Soligenix aims to deliver significant long-term value to its shareholders and address critical healthcare needs globally.

Continued treatment improved outcomes, with 40% response in the second cycle. SGX301 was well tolerated, showing no mutagenic risks. The event will include insights from leading experts and management.
Soligenix, Inc. (SNGX) has entered an exclusive Supply, Distribution and Services Agreement with Daavlin for the SGX301 light device, aimed at treating cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL).
