  • Hoth Therapeutics Inc. Takes on Drastic Rise

    Hoth Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: HOTH) has been phenomenal in just the last two days, taking off abruptly from $3 to almost $11. A rise of such mighty proportions warrants a thorough look into this promising biotech stock.

    FDA Approves Hoth Therapeutics’ IND Application

    Cutting straight to the chase, the reason behind HOTH’s incredible takeoff links to a recent announcement that the company’s management came forward with. The FDA has approved the company’s Investigational New Drug application for its HT-001 candidate. This news comes as a major win for the shareholders, and significantly improves Hoth Therapeutics’ future, especially with its advances in epidermal growth factor receptors and related therapies. One reason why bulls are rushing HOTH with this news also links to the candidate’s potentially significant role in cancer treatment. Additionally, HT-001 is also a highly effective treatment against skin toxicities, which result in rashes.

    Private Placement for HOTH Financing

    Another reason behind HOTH stock price’s takeoff relates to a private placement to sell 2 million shares to the market, in order to raise $10 million in gross proceeds. The arrangement of this financing facility is essential that 2.5 million warrants would face issuance, which will allow the holder to buy at the exercise price of $5 per share, being valid for the next 5½  years. This $10 million cash injection is a significant milestone for the company, considering that its market capitalization was less than this amount, until as recently as yesterday.

    Conclusion

    HOTH stock is presently in the process of a rapid upward takeoff, due to which shareholders have been having a field day. The recent announcement of the FDA approval for HT-001, as well as the $10 million financing, have both spurred market bulls into action. In light of this new information, it is the market clearly found HOTH price to be severely undervalued.

  • Hoth Therapeutics Inc. (HOTH) Rally on HT-KIT’s Cancer Response Cut Short by Propose Offering After Hours

    Hoth Therapeutics Inc. (HOTH) had meme-like trading on April 11, 2022. The biopharmaceutical company released development updates for its novel cancer therapeutic, HT-KIT which prevented cancer cell growth. The positive data caused an upswing by a huge 70.48% in HOTH stock during regular trading. Consequently, the stock reached a value of $1.05 at the end of the session. But this uptick could not last long as the following news resulted in a downtrend in the after-hours session.

    After the bell, the company announced a proposed public offering with EF Hutton division of Benchmark Investments LLC as its book-running manager. The company has initiated an underwritten public offering of its common stocks, details of which will be filed with the SEC in a prospectus supplement.

    This news caused HOTH stock to fall by 11.43%. Hence, the stock went down to a value of $0.93 a share in late trading on Monday.

    HOTH’s HT-KIT Developments

    Source: Cleveland Clinic

    The company recently used its HT-KIT mRNA frame-shifting approach on mast cell leukemia cells in vitro via a sponsored scientific research agreement. The agreement was signed with North Carolina State University.

    The treatment with HT-KIT not only prevents cancer cell growth but also resulted in cell death over 72 hours. Moreover, reduction of other organs infiltration and increased tumor cell death were seen in a humanized mast cell leukemia mouse model. These results were achieved when HT-KIT induced frameshifted c-KIT mRNA.

    In simple words, the drug helps in turning off a key signal that is involved in various aggressive cancers.

    Thus, the company is working on the next round of preclinical studies which would be utilized for the pre-IND meeting with the FDA.

    Potential and Outlook

    The oncology market is full of many opportunities as the prevalence of cancer disease among the global population continues to rise. Currently, the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.2% from 2021 to 2030. The need for effective cancer treatment with lower side effects than traditional chemotherapy is fueling growth in the segment.

    Thus, while the market is full of opportunities, HOTH has still a long way to go before it makes any value of the latest cancer-killing development. Being just in the preclinical stage of development of the drug, the company is years away from leveraging the potential of the drug candidate.

    Conclusion

    On Monday, the company’s HT-KIT development of cancer-killing potential caused a huge rally in the stock. But the rally was cut short by an after-hours announcement of a proposed public offering. While the gains were eventually to succumb to corrections but the offering news caused HOTH to trade in the red in the after-hours session
