Below is a timeline of key regulatory milestones for this therapy.
- Drug:
- Glial Cell Line-Derived Neurotrophic Factor
- Announced Date:
- March 4, 2025
- Indication:
- treatment for obesity
Announcement
Hoth Therapeutics, Inc. announced preclinical findings that highlight the potential of Glial Cell Line-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (GDNF) as a revolutionary treatment for obesity.
AI Summary
Hoth Therapeutics, Inc. announced promising preclinical findings on the potential of Glial Cell Line-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (GDNF) as a groundbreaking treatment for obesity. The research showed that GDNF helped reduce weight gain and fat buildup in animal models even when they were fed a high-fat diet. By boosting the metabolism, GDNF increased the body’s natural energy expenditure, leading to more fat burning without changing food intake.
The study also found that GDNF improved insulin sensitivity and glucose regulation while suppressing key genes involved in fat storage, which could lead to less fatty liver disease. These results suggest that GDNF might offer a novel approach to obesity treatment by activating the body’s inherent metabolic processes, rather than relying on appetite suppression. Hoth Therapeutics is now exploring various methods to develop this potential therapy further.

Hoth Therapeutics Announced Positive Results for HT-001 in Treating EGFR Inhibitor-Associated Papulopustular Eruptions Findings to be Presented at the American Academy of Dermatology 2025 Annual Meeting
AI Summary
Hoth Therapeutics announced promising results for its novel HT-001 treatment to address papulopustular eruptions caused by EGFR inhibitors. In a recent case study, a 59-year-old metastatic breast cancer patient experienced severe skin reactions—pruritic, burning red papules on the face, scalp, and upper back—due to EGFR inhibitor therapy. After applying HT-001 2% cream twice daily for one week, the patient’s symptoms and lesions fully resolved, with no recurrence observed over the following three weeks.
The positive findings, which support HT-001 as a potential breakthrough therapy, will be presented at the American Academy of Dermatology 2025 Annual Meeting. As a topical neurokinin 1 receptor antagonist, HT-001 works by blocking the Substance P pathway, thus reducing inflammation and other skin toxicities associated with EGFR inhibitor treatment.

- HT-ALZ
- Announced Date:
- April 2, 2025
- Indication:
- Alzheimer's Disease
Announcement
Hoth Therapeutics, Inc. announced groundbreaking preclinical data supporting the therapeutic potential of its lead Alzheimer's candidate, HT-ALZ, in improving cognitive function and reducing neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease (AD).
AI Summary
Hoth Therapeutics has released groundbreaking preclinical data for its lead Alzheimer’s candidate, HT-ALZ, a formulation based on an FDA-approved NK-1 receptor antagonist. In studies using APP/PS1 mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease, HT-ALZ significantly improved cognitive function, including memory enhancement and reduced anxiety-like behavior, without affecting motor skills. A key finding was the marked reduction in GFAP-positive reactive astrocytes, which are linked to neuroinflammation and cognitive decline in AD. These results suggest that HT-ALZ not only improves Alzheimer’s symptoms but also targets the underlying neurodegeneration by modulating astrocyte activity. This dual-action profile, which impacts both the disease pathology and symptoms, offers a promising new approach in Alzheimer’s treatment. Hoth Therapeutics plans to advance HT-ALZ into clinical development as a potential first-in-class therapy for early-stage Alzheimer’s.

Announcement
Hoth Therapeutics, Inc. announced compelling preclinical data for HT-KIT, its proprietary antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) therapeutic designed to target and silence aberrant KIT gene expression—implicated in a variety of rare, treatment-resistant cancers.
AI Summary
Hoth Therapeutics, Inc. has unveiled promising preclinical results for its innovative HT-KIT therapy, an antisense oligonucleotide designed to silence abnormal KIT gene expression. This gene is known to drive the growth of several treatment-resistant cancers. In laboratory studies, HT-KIT achieved over an 80% reduction in mutant KIT protein levels and significantly slowed tumor growth in models of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) and systemic mastocytosis. Notably, the treatment did not show any off-target toxicity in the liver, kidneys, or bone marrow, suggesting a strong safety profile. HT-KIT works by binding selectively to mutant KIT mRNA, blocking its translation and preventing the formation of the KIT protein. The company plans to submit an Investigational New Drug (IND) application to the FDA in early 2026, paving the way for first-in-human studies. This breakthrough offers a targeted approach for patients with rare, resistant KIT-mutated cancers.

Announcement
Hoth Therapeutics, Inc. announced breakthrough preclinical findings demonstrating the efficacy of HT-KIT, a novel targeted therapy for gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). T
AI Summary
Hoth Therapeutics, Inc. recently announced breakthrough preclinical findings for its novel targeted therapy, HT-KIT, designed to treat gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). The study showed that HT-KIT significantly reduces tumor growth by directly lowering KIT receptor expression, a key factor driving GIST progression. In lab tests, high doses of HT-KIT induced noticeable tumor cell death within 24 hours, while lower doses achieved similar effects by 72 hours. This therapy also curtailed cell proliferation in GIST-T1 cells, resulting in reduced tumor sizes. In humanized mouse models, the treatment led to statistically significant decreases in tumor growth as early as day 8, with excised tumors being smaller and lighter compared to controls. By specifically targeting KIT mutations, HT-KIT holds promise for overcoming resistance to current treatments and offers a new hope for patients battling this aggressive form of cancer.
