tients are at risk of developing acute and chronic radiation enteritis.

"Radiation enteritis is a serious complication for colorectal cancer patients receiving radiation therapy that impacts their quality of life and can require treatment modification," stated William Small, Jr., MD, FACRO, Professor and Vice Chairman, Department of Radiation Oncology, Associate Medical Director, Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University and a Principal Investigator for the Phase 1/2 clinical study. "Based on oral BDP's proven pharmacology in treating severe gastrointestinal inflammation, SGX201 represents a potential prophylactic option that would enable physicians/patients to maintain planned treatment regimens to battle the underlying malignancy. I look forward to working with Soligenix on the continued development of SGX201."

"The initiation of this new clinical trial in radiation enteritis with SGX201 represents the next step in the expansion of our oral BDP product portfolio," stated Christopher J. Schaber, PhD, President and CEO of Soligenix. "Based on its known pharmacology, we anticipate that oral administration of SGX201 may help to prevent or reduce the severity of acute radiation enteritis and other inflammatory diseases of the GI tract. This is now the third active clinical trial underway with orBec® or oral BDP. We look forward to working with our Medical Advisory Board and investigational sites to complete this important proof of concept study."
