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.

Soligenix has submitted a Type A Meeting Request to the FDA for discussions on a second Phase 3 study of HyBryte™ (SGX301) for treating cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). This follows significant success in the initial Phase 3 FLASH trial, where 16% of patients treated with HyBryte™ showed at least a 50% reduction in lesions compared to 4% for the placebo (p=0.04). The FDA has classified the meeting as high priority, expected within approximately 30 days. HyBryte™ utilizes synthetic hypericin and visible light, posing a safer alternative to conventional treatments by avoiding DNA damage. The company anticipates alignment with the FDA on a pivotal study design to expedite further development of this promising treatment.

Soligenix plans to work closely with the FDA to define the protocol for this new trial. The FLASH study showed statistically significant results, with a 16% response rate for HyBryte™ versus 4% for placebo. HyBryte™ is a photodynamic therapy using synthetic hypericin sodium and has received orphan drug and fast track designations. The additional study requirements mark a setback for the company, but leadership remains committed to advancing the treatment for patients with CTCL.
