Soligenix Receives Conditional FDA Acceptance of Proposed Brand Name HyBryte™ for SGX301 in CTCL

 Soligenix, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNGX) (Soligenix or the Company), a late-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing products to treat rare diseases where there is an unmet medical need, announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has conditionally accepted HyBryte™ as the proposed brand name for SGX301 (synthetic hypericin), the Company’s novel first-in-class photodynamic therapy for first-line treatment of early stage cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL).

The name HyBryte™ was developed in compliance with the FDA’s Guidance for Industry, Contents of a Complete Submission for the Evaluation of Proprietary Names. The FDA’s conditional approval validates HyBryte™ as a proprietary name that is consistent with the FDA’s goal of preventing medication errors and potential harm to the public by ensuring that only appropriate proprietary names are approved for use. Final approval of the HyBryte™ brand name is conditioned on FDA approval of the product candidate, SGX301.

“We are pleased that the FDA has conditionally accepted the name HyBryte™ for SGX301,” stated Christopher J. Schaber, PhD, President and Chief Executive Officer of Soligenix. “This is yet another important step towards U.S. commercialization, as we continue to focus on submission of the rolling new drug application (NDA) in 2Q 2021 for this first-in-class therapy. SGX301 has already received Orphan Drug and Fast Track designations from the FDA. Additionally, SGX301 was granted Orphan Drug designation from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and Promising Innovative Medicine designation from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency in the United Kingdom.”
