Soligenix (SNGX) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing products for rare diseases and medical countermeasures. As a company primarily in the clinical development stage with specific medical countermeasure programs, its major revenue sources come from government contracts and grants, rather than significant commercial sales of its drugs to traditional companies or directly to individuals.
Based on its financial filings (e.g., 10-K reports), Soligenix's primary "customers" – in the context of its revenue generation and funding of its development programs – are agencies of the U.S. government. These entities fund critical research, development, and potential procurement of medical countermeasures, particularly for programs like RiVax®.
The key U.S. government agencies that serve as major funding partners and "customers" for Soligenix's programs include:
- National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID): A component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which is an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
- Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA): An office within the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
As these are U.S. government agencies, they do not have public company symbols.

Soligenix (SNGX) is a late-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing products for rare diseases. The company's future revenue growth over the next 2-3 years is expected to be driven by advancements and potential commercialization of its key pipeline assets and continued government funding for its public health solutions.
Here are the primary expected drivers of future revenue growth:
- Commercialization of HyBryte™ (SGX301) for Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma (CTCL): HyBryte™ is Soligenix's most advanced product, a novel photodynamic therapy for early-stage cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). Top-line results from the confirmatory Phase 3 study (FLASH2) for HyBryte™ are anticipated in the second half of 2026. Successful completion of this study and subsequent regulatory approvals would pave the way for potential worldwide commercialization. The company projects peak annual net sales of HyBryte™ in the U.S. to exceed $90 million, with the total global CTCL market estimated at over $250 million annually.
- Expansion of Synthetic Hypericin (SGX302) into Psoriasis: Soligenix is developing SGX302, which utilizes the same active ingredient as HyBryte™, for the treatment of mild-to-moderate psoriasis. Top-line Phase 2a results for SGX302 in psoriasis are expected in the fourth quarter of 2025. The worldwide psoriasis market opportunity for SGX302 is estimated to exceed $1 billion annually, representing a significant potential revenue stream if clinical development is successful.
- Advancement of Innate Defense Regulator (IDR) Technology (Dusquetide - SGX942/SGX945) programs: The company's innate defense regulator (IDR) technology includes dusquetide, with SGX945 in development for Behçet's Disease and SGX942 for oral mucositis in head and neck cancer. SGX945 has already successfully completed a Phase 2a proof-of-concept study in Behçet's Disease, demonstrating biological efficacy. Top-line results from ongoing Phase 2 studies for SGX945 in Behçet's disease are anticipated in the second half of 2025.
- Government Grants and Contracts for Public Health Solutions: Soligenix's Public Health Solutions business segment includes vaccine candidates like RiVax® (ricin toxin vaccine), and programs targeting filoviruses (such as Marburg and Ebola) and CiVax™ (COVID-19). These programs are supported by government grants and contracts from agencies such as the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), and the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA). Continued funding and progress in these biodefense and infectious disease programs are expected to contribute to the company's revenue.
