Hoth Therapeutics Announces Update on Cancer Therapeutic HT-KIT Results Suggesting the Treatment Effectively Inhibited Tumor Growth in Preclinical Treatment Study
NEW YORK, Oct. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Hoth Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: HOTH), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing new generation therapies for unmet medical needs, is excited to announce highly promising early data from a preclinical study of its latest cancer treatment. The preliminary results demonstrate that the treatment successfully stabilizes tumor growth with remarkable consistency across subjects, showing potential as an effective therapeutic option in oncology. This study was performed and took place under a sponsored scientific research agreement with NC State University.
The study measured tumor volumes in treated and untreated subjects over the course of the experiment. Tumor volume measurements in the treated group exhibited minimal changes, suggesting that the treatment effectively inhibited tumor growth. Additionally, all tumors in the treated animals displayed remarkable consistency in volume, with standard deviation error bars barely visibleβa strong indication of the treatment's uniformity and reproducibility in suppressing tumor growth.
"These early findings are incredibly encouraging and demonstrate that our treatment has the potential to halt tumor progression consistently across subjects," said Robb Knie, CEO of Hoth Therapeutics. "The stability and low variability observed in tumor volumes among treated animals are indicative of a promising therapeutic effect, and we're excited to move forward with further testing as we process additional tissue data."
Key observations from the initial data include:
Stabilized Tumor Growth: Tumor volumes in treated subjects remained remarkably stable over the course of the study, suggesting that the treatment may significantly inhibit tumor growth.
Consistency Across Subjects: Tumor sizes were highly consistent across all treated animals, as demonstrated by the minimal error bars on the graph. This uniform response highlights the treatment's potential reproducibility and reliability.
Comparison with Untreated Controls: In contrast, untreated subjects showed greater variability and an increase in tumor volume, underscoring the potential efficacy of the treatment in slowing or halting tumor growth.
As Hoth Therapeutics advances this research, the company will continue analyzing additional tissue data to further validate these results. The company is committed to moving forward with the development of this promising treatment and exploring its full potential for patients in need of effective cancer therapies.

Hoth Therapeutics Awarded Key US Patent for Groundbreaking Alzheimer's Treatment and Prepares for Clinical Trials of HT-ALZ with Formulation Now Underway
NEW YORK, Oct. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Hoth Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: HOTH), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative treatments, is proud to announce the granting of a U.S. patent for its pioneering Alzheimer's treatment, HT-ALZ. This milestone patent secures the company's intellectual property rights to its novel therapeutic approach, as Hoth accelerates preparations for clinical trials.
HT-ALZ represents a breakthrough in Alzheimer's treatment, specifically targeting the Substance P/Neurokinin-1 Receptor pathway. This pathway is known to play a critical role in neuroinflammation, which is increasingly recognized as a driving factor in the progression of Alzheimer's disease. Preclinical studies have shown promising results, including reduced neuroinflammation and significant improvements in cognitive functions such as memory and learning.
The patent solidifies Hoth's leadership in the development of Alzheimer's therapies and paves the way for the next phase of human clinical trials. Formulation of HT-ALZ for these trials is currently underway, with the goal of advancing this promising treatment to patients as swiftly as possible.
Next Steps
As Hoth Therapeutics completes the formulation phase, the company will look to prepare clinical trials to further validate HT-ALZ's efficacy in humans. The upcoming trials will focus on demonstrating the drug's safety, tolerability, and effectiveness in slowing or reversing the cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer's disease.
Robb Knie, CEO of Hoth Therapeutics, commented, "This patent marks a significant achievement for Hoth as we progress HT-ALZ from the lab to clinical development. The preclinical data on neuroinflammation reduction and cognitive improvement offer great hope, and we are excited to take the next critical steps toward delivering a potentially life-changing therapy to Alzheimer's patients."
About HT-ALZ
HT-ALZ represents a novel approach in Alzheimer's research, focusing on the modulation of neuroinflammation, unlike many treatments that focus solely on amyloid plaques. Preclinical data has shown that HT-ALZ effectively reduces reactive astrocytes in the brain, cells that contribute to the inflammatory processes seen in Alzheimer's, leading to improved cognitive outcomes in experimental models.

Hoth Therapeutics Announces Positive Data from First-of-its-Kind Human Patient Treatment of EGFRI-Associated Skin Toxicities with HT-001
Cancer Patient Ceased Treatment After One Week Due to Rapid Success
In the reported case, the patient, a 59-year-old female undergoing treatment at George Washington University for metastatic breast cancer, experienced significant improvement in symptoms just one week after initiating HT-001 therapy. Due to the swift resolution of lesions and the alleviation of discomfort, the patient was able to discontinue the treatment after just seven days. Over the following three weeks, no new lesions developed, further highlighting the potential of HT-001 as an effective and safe therapy for EGFRI-associated PPEs.
NEW YORK, Sept. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Hoth Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: HOTH), a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing next-generation therapies for unmet medical needs, is excited to announce positive data from the treatment of epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor (EGFRI) associated papulopustular eruptions (PPEs) with its novel therapeutic HT-001. During this first-of-its-kind human patient case, the patient was able to cease treatment after just one week due to the rapid and successful resolution of symptoms, marking a significant advancement in managing a common and debilitating side effect experienced by cancer patients undergoing EGFRI therapy.
EGFRIs are widely used to treat various cancers of epithelial origin but are frequently associated with cutaneous side effects, most notably PPEs like acneiform rash, which can occur in up to 90% of patients. These PPEs can cause significant discomfort, including pruritus and burning, and often lead to interruptions or discontinuation of critical cancer therapies. HT-001 offers a new approach to managing these skin toxicities, showing rapid symptom relief without compromising the patient's ongoing cancer treatment.
In the reported case, the patient, a 59-year-old female undergoing treatment at George Washington University for metastatic breast cancer, experienced significant improvement in symptoms just one week after initiating HT-001 therapy. Due to the swift resolution of lesions and the alleviation of discomfort, the patient was able to discontinue the treatment after just seven days. Over the following three weeks, no new lesions developed, further highlighting the potential of HT-001 as an effective and safe therapy for EGFRI-associated PPEs.
"We are thrilled with the positive data from this first investigator led study patient case," said Robb Knie, CEO of Hoth Therapeutics. "HT-001 has the potential to significantly improve the quality of life for cancer patients suffering from EGFRI-induced skin toxicities. This rapid and successful treatment is an important milestone as we continue to explore HT-001's potential to meet this critical unmet need."
A Phase 2a clinical trial is currently underway to further evaluate the efficacy and safety of HT-001 in the management of EGFRI-associated skin toxicities. Current sites include MD Anderson Cancer Center, University of Miami, Dana Farber Cancer Institute, University of California Irvine, the George Washington University, Montefiore Medical Center, and Northwell Health, Inc.
