Hoth Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: HOTH), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing innovative therapies, today announced its intention to submit an Expanded Access application for HT-001, its novel therapeutic candidate for the treatment of dermatological conditions associated with cancer therapy.
HT-001 is being developed to alleviate the adverse dermatological effects experienced by cancer patients undergoing epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor treatments. With positive progress in ongoing clinical studies, Hoth Therapeutics aims to provide patients access to HT-001 outside of traditional clinical trials through the Expanded Access Program (EAP), commonly known as "compassionate use."
"Submitting an Expanded Access application is an important step in our commitment to ensuring patients who may benefit from HT-001 have the opportunity to receive this promising treatment," said Robb Knie, CEO of Hoth Therapeutics. "We remain dedicated to advancing solutions that address critical unmet medical needs and improve quality of life for patients undergoing cancer treatment."
The Expanded Access Program is designed to provide investigational treatments to patients with serious or life-threatening conditions who lack comparable treatment options. Through this program, Hoth Therapeutics seeks to offer HT-001 to eligible patients while continuing to gather valuable data on its safety and efficacy.
HOTH shares sank six cents, or 5.5%, to $1.03.
