About Soligenix, Inc.
Soligenix is a late-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on
developing and commercializing products to treat rare diseases
where there is an unmet medical need. Our Specialized
BioTherapeutics business segment is developing SGX301 as a novel
photodynamic therapy utilizing safe visible light for the treatment
of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, our first-in-class innate defense
regulator (IDR) technology, dusquetide (SGX942) for the treatment
of oral mucositis in head and neck cancer, and proprietary
formulations of oral beclomethasone 17,21-dipropionate (BDP) for
the prevention/treatment of gastrointestinal (GI) disorders
characterized by severe inflammation including pediatric Crohn's
disease (SGX203) and acute radiation enteritis (SGX201).
Our Public Health Solutions business segment includes active
development programs for RiVax®, our ricin
toxin vaccine candidate and SGX943, our therapeutic candidate for
antibiotic resistant and emerging infectious disease. The
development of our vaccine programs incorporates the use of our
proprietary heat stabilization platform technology, known as
ThermoVax®. To date, this business

funding from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious
Diseases (NIAID) and the Biomedical Advanced Research and

This press release may contain forward-looking statements that
reflect Soligenix, Inc.'s current expectations about its future
results, performance, prospects and opportunities, including but
not limited to, potential market sizes, patient populations and
clinical trial enrollment. 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 timing or success of the Phase 3
clinical trial of SGX942 (dusquetide) as a treatment for oral
mucositis in patients with head and neck cancer receiving
chemoradiation therapy or the Phase 3 clinical trial of SGX301
(synthetic hypericin) for the treatment of cutaneous T-cell
lymphoma. There also can be no assurance as to timing or
success of the preclinical/clinical trials
of RiVaxÒ, that RiVaxÒ will be
approved for the PRV program or the amount for which a PRV
for RiVaxÒ can be sold. These and other risk
factors are described from time to time in filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, including, but not limited to,
Soligenix's reports on Forms 10-Q and 10-K. Unless required
by law, Soligenix assumes no obligation to update or revise any
forward-looking statements as a result of new information or future
events.
