Shares of Hoth Therapeutics soared after the company announced positive data in a completed pre-clinical study of its Alzheimer's Disease therapeutic HT-ALZ.
The stock was up 32% at $1.52 in early trading. Shares are now in positive territory year-to-date.
The New York-based biopharmaceutical company said Tuesday morning that pre-clinical research shows HT-ALZ combating neuroinflammation and diminishing anxiety-like behavior associated with Alzheimer's Disease.
The research presents what Hoth is calling compelling evidence of the treatment's capacity for improving memory tasks related to the hippocampus and sensorimotor gating.
