NEW YORK, Dec. 31, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Hoth Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: HOTH), a biopharmaceutical company, today announced that it has signed a production agreement for both GLP and GMP materials associated with HT-001 with Tergus Pharma for its novel cancer treatment drug, HT-001.
This announcement follows the recent news that Hoth has requested a Pre-Investigational New Drug (IND) meeting to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to discuss a proposed drug development program for the novel treatment.
HT-001 is a topical formulation designed for the treatment of patients with mild to moderate rash and skin disorders associated with initial and repeat courses of tyrosine kinase inhibitor/epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor therapy. EGFR inhibitors are used for treatment of cancers with EGFR up-regulation (such as non-small cell lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, and colon cancer). EGFR inhibitors are often associated with dose-limiting skin toxicities that can result in interruption of treatment. HT-001 is targeted to treat these EGFR-induced skin disorders to allow patients to achieve the best potential outcomes of EGFR therapy.
"Hoth management is pleased with the advancement of our HT-001 treatment throughout the developmental process," said Robb Knie, CEO of Hoth Therapeutics. "Patients struggling with dermatological ailments have been known to halt, and even discontinue potentially life-saving oncology treatments. Our hope that is our topical therapeutic will provide care to those in need."
