- Hoth Therapeutics ended the HT-001 Phase 2a trial early after reviewing interim efficacy and safety data.
- The company plans to complete its data review and seek FDA input on a potential pivotal study.
- HT-001 remains investigational and has not been approved by the FDA for any indication.
Rocket One said on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, that its biotechnology subsidiary Hoth Therapeutics had ended the Phase 2a clinical trial of HT-001 early after reviewing positive interim efficacy findings. The announcement, carried by PR Newswire, links the decision to interim efficacy and safety data.
Potential move toward Phase 3
Hoth plans to complete the remaining data review and analysis needed for its regulatory submission and development strategy. It intends to ask the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for feedback on a possible pivotal study, including its design, efficacy endpoints, patient population, statistical approach, safety requirements and manufacturing readiness.
The next development step therefore depends on regulatory feedback and the completion of additional activities. The company did not present the interim findings as final: it said the results are preliminary and may change as more data are collected and finalized.
