This First-in-Human (FIH) Phase 2a clinical trial of HT-001 for the treatment of skin toxicities associated with Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Inhibitors (EGFRi). This clinical trial is a randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel Phase 2a dose-ranging study to investigate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of topical HT-001 for the treatment of skin toxicities associated with EGFRi. More information can be found at clinicaltrials.gov.

"We are very pleased to have received approval for our FIH clinical trial," said Hoth Therapeutics Chief Executive Officer, Robb Knie. "We are hopeful that this trial will demonstrate successful delivery of our lead therapeutic candidate HT-001. Coupled with approval at Washington University of St. Louis and MD Anderson Cancer Center, University of Miami will be our third site approved to host our trial and bring hope to cancer patients suffering from skin toxicities associated with EGFRi treatments. I look forward to updating our investors and patients on this ongoing trial in the first quarter of 2024."
