NEW YORK, Oct. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Hoth Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: HOTH), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative treatments, is proud to announce the granting of a U.S. patent for its pioneering Alzheimer’s treatment, HT-ALZ. This milestone patent secures the company’s intellectual property rights to its novel therapeutic approach, as Hoth accelerates preparations for clinical trials.
HT-ALZ represents a breakthrough in Alzheimer’s treatment, specifically targeting the Substance P/Neurokinin-1 Receptor pathway. This pathway is known to play a critical role in neuroinflammation, which is increasingly recognized as a driving factor in the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. Preclinical studies have shown promising results, including reduced neuroinflammation and significant improvements in cognitive functions such as memory and learning.
The patent solidifies Hoth’s leadership in the development of Alzheimer’s therapies and paves the way for the next phase of human clinical trials. Formulation of HT-ALZ for these trials is currently underway, with the goal of advancing this promising treatment to patients as swiftly as possible.
Next Steps
As Hoth Therapeutics completes the formulation phase, the company will look to prepare clinical trials to further validate HT-ALZ’s efficacy in humans. The upcoming trials will focus on demonstrating the drug’s safety, tolerability, and effectiveness in slowing or reversing the cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer’s disease.
Robb Knie, CEO of Hoth Therapeutics, commented, “This patent marks a significant achievement for Hoth as we progress HT-ALZ from the lab to clinical development. The preclinical data on neuroinflammation reduction and cognitive improvement offer great hope, and we are excited to take the next critical steps toward delivering a potentially life-changing therapy to Alzheimer’s patients.”
About HT-ALZ
HT-ALZ represents a novel approach in Alzheimer’s research, focusing on the modulation of neuroinflammation, unlike many treatments that focus solely on amyloid plaques. Preclinical data has shown that HT-ALZ effectively reduces reactive astrocytes in the brain, cells that contribute to the inflammatory processes seen in Alzheimer’s, leading to improved cognitive outcomes in experimental models.
