Hoth Therapeutics (NASDAQ: HOTH) has announced positive data from a first-of-its-kind human patient treatment using HT-001 for epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor (EGFRI) associated papulopustular eruptions (PPEs). The patient, a 59-year-old female with metastatic breast cancer, experienced significant symptom improvement after just one week of treatment, allowing her to discontinue HT-001 after only seven days. This rapid success highlights HT-001's potential as an effective therapy for EGFRI-associated skin toxicities, which affect up to 90% of cancer patients undergoing EGFRI therapy. A Phase 2a clinical trial is currently underway to further evaluate HT-001's efficacy and safety, with multiple prestigious cancer centers participating in the study.
Hoth Therapeutics (NASDAQ: HOTH) has entered a Master Services Agreement with Aronnax Inc. for its HT-KIT cancer therapeutic. Aronnax will oversee ITR Laboratories in conducting intravenous injection studies to determine the Maximum-Tolerated Dose (MTD) and perform a Dose Range-Finding Phase for HT-KIT.
HT-KIT, an antisense oligonucleotide targeting the proto-oncogene cKIT, has shown promising results in killing human mast cells and reducing KIT expression in GIST and AML cells. It has received Orphan Drug Designation from the FDA for treating mast cell-derived cancers and anaphylaxis.
This study aims to provide Hoth with key metrics for formulating its proposed clinical trial, advancing HT-KIT towards an IND-enabling study.
