Hoth Therapeutics Announces Positive Preclinical End Point Results of HT-ALZ Treatment for Alzheimer's Disease
HT-ALZ Showed Improvement on Several Tests of Cognitive Function
HT-ALZ Showed Positive Benefits with Reductions in Anxiety
Completed Dose Response Study Leads Hoth to Begin Formulation Development
NEW YORK, Aug. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Hoth Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: HOTH), a patient-focused biopharmaceutical company, today announced that HT-ALZ, a therapeutic in development for the treatment of Alzheimer's Disease ("AD"), achieved positive preclinical end points in a study conducted at Washington University, St. Louis.
Subjects treated with HT-ALZ show improvement on several tests of cognitive function, including spatial learning and memory, sensorimotor gating, and contextual associative memory. HT-ALZ showed positive benefits with reducing anxiety- like behavior in mice.
AD is a neurodegenerative disease that is characterized by aggregates of amyloid β (Aβ) plaques and neurofibrillary tangles of Tau protein in the brain, which contribute to the clinical symptoms of the disease, such as dementia. Previously Hoth reported study results focused on investigating the effect of orally administered HT-ALZ to reduce the concentration of Aβ in the brain interstitial fluid, using an established Alzheimer's Disease mouse model (aged APP/PS1+/- mice). The initial data from those studies showed a significant decrease in Aβ in both male and female APP/PS1+/- mice after acute treatment with HT-ALZ, compared to placebo-treated animals and baseline Aβ levels.
