PRINCETON, N.J., Nov. 7, 2025 /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 its recent accomplishments and financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.
"We remain focused on multiple upcoming milestones before year-end, including top-line results from our Phase 2a clinical trial in mild-to-moderate psoriasis with SGX302 (synthetic hypericin) and an enrollment update for the confirmatory Phase 3 study evaluating HyBryte$(TM)$ (synthetic hypericin) in the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL)," stated Christopher J. Schaber, PhD, President and Chief Executive Officer of Soligenix. "Recently, we were pleased to announce that the first Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) meeting for the confirmatory Phase 3 study evaluating HyBryte(TM) in the treatment of CTCL had concluded that there were no safety concerns, with HyBryte(TM) demonstrating an acceptable safety profile that remains consistent with the safety data from all prior clinical studies. Looking ahead to 2026, Phase 3 enrollment remains on track with top-line results anticipated in the second half of 2026."
Dr. Schaber continued, "With approximately $10.5 million in cash at September 30, 2025, we're focused on carefully allocating resources to hit our strategic goals and upcoming milestones. While this cash balance provides sufficient operating runway through 2026, we continue to evaluate all strategic options, including partnership, merger and acquisition, government grants, and potential financing opportunities to advance our late-stage pipeline and the Company."

Financial Results -- Quarter Ended September 30, 2025
Soligenix reported no revenue for the quarters ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
Soligenix's net loss was $2.5 million, or ($0.58) per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared to $1.7 million, or ($0.78) per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. This increase in net loss was primarily due to an increase in operating expenses related to ongoing clinical trials and a decrease in interest income and a CARES Act employee retention credit received during the three months ended September 30, 2024 with no corresponding employee retention credit received during the three months ended September 30, 2025.
Research and development expenses were $1.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 as compared to $1.0 million for the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to costs associated with the second confirmatory Phase 3 CTCL trial as well as increases in third party contract manufacturing.
General and administrative expenses were $1.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 as compared to $0.9 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to increases in professional expenses.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company's cash position was approximately $10.5 million.

Statements that are not historical facts, such as "anticipates," "estimates," "believes," "hopes," "intends," "plans," "expects," "goal," "may," "suggest," "will," "potential," or similar expressions, are forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results in future periods to differ materially from what is expressed in, or implied by, these statements. Soligenix cannot assure you that it will be able to successfully develop, achieve regulatory approval for or commercialize products based on its technologies, particularly in light of the significant uncertainty inherent in developing therapeutics and vaccines against bioterror threats, conducting preclinical and clinical trials of therapeutics and vaccines, obtaining regulatory approvals and manufacturing therapeutics and vaccines, that product development and commercialization efforts will not be reduced or discontinued due to difficulties or delays in clinical trials or due to lack of progress or positive results from research and development efforts, that it will be able to successfully obtain any further funding to support product development and commercialization efforts, including grants and awards, maintain its existing grants which are subject to performance requirements, enter into any biodefense procurement contracts with the U.S. Government or other countries, that it will be able to compete with larger and better financed competitors in the biotechnology industry, that changes in health care practice, third party reimbursement limitations and Federal and/or state health care reform initiatives will not negatively affect its business, or that the U.S. Congress may not pass any legislation that would provide additional funding for the Project BioShield program. In addition, there can be no assurance as to the timing or success of any of its clinical/preclinical trials. Despite the statistically significant result achieved in the first HyBryte(TM) (SGX301) Phase 3 clinical trial for the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma or any other studies (including the open-label, investigator-initiated study), there can be no assurance that the second HyBryte(TM) (SGX301) Phase 3 clinical trial will be successful or that a marketing authorization from the FDA or EMA will be granted. Additionally, although the EMA has agreed to the key design components of the second HyBryte(TM) (SGX301)
