Soligenix (NASDAQ: SNGX) shares are rallying premarket on Thursday after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted orphan drug designation to the active ingredient hypericin to treat T-cell lymphoma.
The decision from the FDA extends the target population beyond cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL).
Orphan drug designation will position the company to leverage a wide range of financial and regulatory benefits, including government grants for conducting clinical trials, waiver of expensive FDA user fees for the potential submission of a New Drug Application (NDA), and certain tax credits.
