The study measured tumor volumes in treated and untreated subjects over the course of the experiment. Tumor volume measurements in the treated group exhibited minimal changes, suggesting that the treatment effectively inhibited tumor growth. Additionally, all tumors in the treated animals displayed remarkable consistency in volume, with standard deviation error bars barely visible—a strong indication of the treatment’s uniformity and reproducibility in suppressing tumor growth.
"These early findings are incredibly encouraging and demonstrate that our treatment has the potential to halt tumor progression consistently across subjects," said Robb Knie, CEO of Hoth Therapeutics. "The stability and low variability observed in tumor volumes among treated animals are indicative of a promising therapeutic effect, and we’re excited to move forward with further testing as we process additional tissue data."
Key observations from the initial data include:
Stabilized Tumor Growth: Tumor volumes in treated subjects remained remarkably stable over the course of the study, suggesting that the treatment may significantly inhibit tumor growth.
Consistency Across Subjects: Tumor sizes were highly consistent across all treated animals, as demonstrated by the minimal error bars on the graph. This uniform response highlights the treatment’s potential reproducibility and reliability.
Comparison with Untreated Controls: In contrast, untreated subjects showed greater variability and an increase in tumor volume, underscoring the potential efficacy of the treatment in slowing or halting tumor growth.
As Hoth Therapeutics advances this research, the company will continue analyzing additional tissue data to further validate these results. The company is committed to moving forward with the development of this promising treatment and exploring its full potential for patients in need of effective cancer therapies.
