What were the findings?
In humanized mast cell models (representative of aggressive mast cell-derived cancers such as mast cell leukemia and mast cell sarcoma), Hoth Therapeutics announced today that its novel anti-cancer therapeutic had highly promising in vitro and in vivo results.
- The anti-cancer drug is in the development stage, and it works by inducing apoptosis in neoplastic mast cells by frame shifting the mRNA.
- It has been shown that this novel anti-cancer agent rapidly triggers apoptosis and cell death of neoplastic mast cells.
- In addition, systemic administration of the anti-cancer therapeutic reduced the tumor burden and neoplastic mast cell infiltration in humanized mast cell tumor models compared to the vehicle control group.
- None of the study animals showed obvious signs of toxicity, indicating that the new anticancer therapeutic was well tolerated.
Further plans:
The data put together support the use of this targeted, anti-cancer therapeutic drug against mast cell related cancers. HOTH plans to bring its innovative therapy to the clinic as quickly as possible.
