Shares of Hoth Therapeutics rose after it reported favorable results for the first-of-its-kind human patient treatment of skin toxicities associated with epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors with its HT-001 drug.

The stock was up 49% to $1.06 Thursday, and is down about 26% this year. Volume was more than 149 million shares, compared with a 65-day average of 776,168.

The company said a cancer patient experienced significant improvement in symptoms a week after initiating HT-001 therapy. "Due to the swift resolution of lesions and the alleviation of discomfort, the patient was able to discontinue the treatment after just seven days," the company said. Over the following three weeks, no new lesions developed, Hoth said.

Hoth also said it received Institutional Review Board approval from the Montefiore Medical Center and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute to proceed with its First-in-Human Phase 2a clinical trial of HT-001.
