Hoth Therapeutics' mRNA Frame Shifting Therapeutic Inhibits Tumor Growth, Animal Study Shows

  • Hoth Therapeutics Inc HOTH has reported that its novel anti-cancer therapeutic demonstrated positive results in humanized mast-cell neoplasm animal models for aggressive, mast cell-derived cancers such as mast cell leukemia and mast cell sarcoma.
  • The anti-cancer therapeutic, currently in development, uses mRNA frameshifting that induces apoptosis of neoplastic mast cells and cell death in neoplastic mast cells.
  • Furthermore, systemic administration of the anti-cancer therapeutic in the neoplasm model showed a significant reduction in tumors and neoplastic mast cell infiltration in the treatment group compared to the vehicle control group.
  • There were no obvious signs of toxicity, suggesting that the novel anti-cancer therapeutic was well-tolerated.
  • Price Action: HOTH shares are up 4.1% at $1.52 in market trading hours Tuesday.
