"HyBryte™ has potential to address a critical gap in treatment of early-stage CTCL
PRINCETON, N.J., Dec. 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- 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 an article describing the potential use of HyBryte™ in the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) has been published in Frontiers in Drug Discovery. The mini-review summarizes findings about the use, mechanism and effectiveness of HyBryte™ in the treatment of CTCL with a particular emphasis on the ability of HyBryte™ to address the unmet medical need in patients with early-stage disease.
"With its chronic course and major impact on patient quality of life, CTCL is an orphan disease in urgent need of additional treatment options that are well-tolerated and safe over the long term," stated Brian Poligone, MD, PhD, Director of the Rochester Skin Lymphoma Medical Group, Fairport, NY. "Clinical studies with HyBryte™ have demonstrated its safety and effectiveness, with broad applicability across different lesion types, different skin tones and different disease stages. I know I can speak for my colleagues that have been involved with these studies when I say that the data generated to date has been extremely compelling."
"In treating CTCL, which is a chronic cancer with no cure, long-term safety is a strong driver of treatment choice. Most current treatment options for CTCL are associated with significant safety concerns, including black-box warnings. HyBryte™ treatment has demonstrated strong and rapid efficacy with a very benign safety profile," stated Richard Straube, MD, Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of Soligenix. "Studies to date have indicated a substantial increase in efficacy with longer treatment with similar performance against both patch and plaque lesions. These results are derived from one of the largest studies ever conducted in CTCL and we believe HyBryte™ will be of significant benefit to patients living with this difficult disease."
