Soligenix Announces Positive Preliminary Results of SGX202 in Radiation Injury
Date:1/18/2011

PRINCETON, N.J., Jan. 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Soligenix, Inc. (Soligenix or the Company) (OTC Bulletin Board: SNGX), a late-stage biopharmaceutical company, announced today promising preliminary results from a preclinical study of SGX202 (oral beclomathasone dipropionate or BDP) in a canine gastrointestinal acute radiation syndrome (GARS) model. The results indicate that dogs treated with SGX202 demonstrated statistically significant (p=0.04) improvement in survival after exposure to lethal doses of total body irradiation (TBI) when compared to control dogs.

These results demonstrate that SGX202 has the potential to reduce the inflammatory cytokine storm induced by the radiation damaged gastrointestinal (Gl) tract. The GI tract is extremely sensitive to radiation injury. GI damage is the major cause of rapid mortality during high dose radiation exposure, such as could be encountered during nuclear accidents or with the use of dirty bombs. Gut injury from high dose radiation is associated with epithelial cell damage and hypoperfusion of the intestine, which stimulates a vigorous local and systemic inflammatory response.

The aim of the study was to determine whether SGX202 could improve survival and GI recovery after TBI using a well-established GARS dog model. Six dogs were exposed to TBI (12 Gy administered at 70 cGy/min), and then given autologous bone marrow and SGX202 with supportive care; four dogs were used as controls and not treated with SGX202.  Autologous bone marrow was given to reduce the duration and impact of the radiation-induced hematopoietic syndrome and allow for a focus on measures to treat the GI effects of TBI. SGX202 was administered two hours after TBI and daily until GI recovery (up to day 100 post exposure).  Median survival post exposure in the control group was 8 days, compared to greater than 100 days in the SGX202 treat
