Hoth Therapeutics Becomes Rocket One Inc. (Nasdaq: RKTO), Targeting the Space Economy with Next-Generation Nanomagnetic AI Chip Technology and Ultra-Low-Power, Radiation-Tolerant Computing for Space and Defense Applications
May 27, 2026 8:11 AM
PR Newswire (US)
Company Adopts Space-Focused Identity, New Ticker "RKTO," and Exclusive License of AI Chip Architecture Designed for Ultra-Low-Power, Radiation-Tolerant Computing in Space and Defense Applications
HOBOKEN, N.J., May 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hoth Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: HOTH) ("Hoth" or the "Company") today announced that, following the strategic repositioning disclosed on May 19, 2026, it has completed the legal change of its corporate name to Rocket One Inc. ("Rocket One") effective as of May 26, 2026 and will begin trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the new ticker symbol "RKTO" at the open of trading on May 28, 2026. The Company's common stock will cease trading under the symbol "HOTH" at the close of trading on May 27, 2026.
The Rocket One identity reflects the Company's strategic focus on the orbital economy: the next generation of satellites, defense platforms, and space-based AI systems that depend on hardware capable of operating reliably in space. The Company's legacy biotechnology programs will continue to be advanced under a wholly owned subsidiary.
Why Space, and Why Now
The commercial space sector is undergoing a structural shift. Falling launch costs, the rapid growth of small satellites, and rising defense demand for resilient orbital assets are creating a new layer of infrastructure above the atmosphere. As more workloads move from ground stations to spacecraft — from Earth observation and signal processing to autonomous navigation and on-orbit AI — the limiting factor is no longer getting to orbit. It is the ability to run powerful computing on satellites that have very little power available, generate heat that is hard to dissipate, and operate in an environment of constant radiation.
Today's standard computer chips are designed for terrestrial data centers, not for low-Earth orbit. They consume power satellites cannot spare, lose data when the satellite power cycles on and off, and require heavy shielding to survive radiation. Rocket One is positioning itself directly at this bottleneck.
The Technology Platform
Rocket One holds exclusive rights to a next-generation nanomagnetic AI chip technology. Unlike conventional chips that move electrons through silicon, this new class of chip uses magnetism at the nanoscale to perform the core calculations that drive artificial intelligence.
Properties of the technology that make it especially well-suited for space and defense applications include:
Rocket One's Strategic Aperture
Building on the previously disclosed formation of its space subsidiary, now Rocket One.0 Inc., Rocket One intends to pursue three converging opportunities: (i) AI chip and memory hardware engineered for orbital and high-radiation environments; (ii) nano-launch and nanosatellite enablement; and (iii) defense and national security applications where radiation tolerance, energy efficiency, and on-device intelligence intersect. The Company believes these markets are mutually reinforcing and that its licensed nanomagnetic chip platform offers a differentiated entry point into each.
What Stockholders Should Know
Management Commentary
"Space is moving from a launch story to a compute story. We believe that the platforms that will define the next decade in orbit will be the ones that can think for themselves under power and radiation constraints that ground-based hardware was never designed to handle. The rebrand to Rocket One reflects where we are positioning this Company," said Robb Knie, Chief Executive Officer. Knie continued, "Our exclusive licenses give us a credible technical foundation, and the RKTO ticker is a signal to investors, partners, and customers that our focus is now on the orbital economy."

Hoth Therapeutics (HOTH) Reports Positive HT-VA CRADA Data: GDNF Reprograms Liver Fat Metabolism, Shuts Down Fat-Creation Gene and Activates Fat-Burning Pathways, Outperforming Semaglutide
April 14, 2026 7:00 AM
PR Newswire (US)
Statistically Significant Reduction in Srebf1 (Fat Production) and Increased Ppara (Fat Metabolism) Position GDNF as Next-Generation Therapy for MAFLD and Obesity
NEW YORK, April 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hoth Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: HOTH), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, today announced positive data from its HT-VA study, conducted under its Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and Emory University, demonstrating that parenteral GDNF (Glial Cell-Derived Neurotrophic Factor) directly reprograms liver fat metabolism at the genetic level in a preclinical model of metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD).
The data highlights statistically significant improvements in key genes responsible for fat production and fat metabolism, positioning GDNF as a potentially differentiated therapeutic approach targeting the root cause of fatty liver disease and metabolic dysfunction.
Unlike existing therapies that primarily focus on weight loss, GDNF directly targets the biological mechanisms responsible for fat accumulation in the liver.
This dual mechanism suggests GDNF may offer a disease-modifying approach for MAFLD, obesity, and related metabolic disorders.
"HT-VA represents a major milestone for Hoth as we expand into high-value metabolic indications," said Robb Knie, Chief Executive Officer of Hoth Therapeutics.
"These results demonstrate that GDNF is not simply reducing fat, but fundamentally reprogramming how the body produces and metabolizes fat at the genetic level. The ability to shut down fat creation while activating fat metabolism differentiates GDNF from existing therapies, including GLP-1 agonists."
SCIENTIFIC SUMMARY (HT-VA STUDY)
The HT-VA study evaluated the effects of parenteral GDNF in a diet-induced obesity and MAFLD model.
Key observations include:

Hungary Approves Trial Expansion as HT-001 Meets Primary Endpoint in Interim Analysis with Patients Reaching ARIGA ≤1 by Week Six
April 1, 2026 8:14 AM
PR Newswire (US)
Over 65% of Patients Reported Reduced Pain and Itching; Zero Disruptions to EGFR Cancer Therapy with ~99% Lower Systemic Exposure
NEW YORK, April 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hoth Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: HOTH), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, today announced positive clinical results from its ongoing HT-001 program, including achievement of the primary efficacy endpoint in interim analysis, with patients reaching an ARIGA rash severity score of ≤1 by week six.
In addition to the strong results in Ariga score, HT-001 demonstrated strong patient benefit across multiple clinically meaningful measures. Over 65% of patients reported meaningful reductions in pain and itching, supporting HT-001's potential to significantly improve quality of life for patients suffering from dermatologic toxicities, including those associated with epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor (EGFR) cancer therapies.
Importantly, zero patients required dose reduction or discontinuation of their EGFR inhibitor therapy while receiving HT-001, highlighting the potential for HT-001 to manage dermatologic side effects without interfering with life-saving cancer treatments.
HT-001 was also well tolerated, with no treatment discontinuations reported.
Pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis further demonstrated that HT-001 achieves approximately 99% lower systemic exposure compared to FDA-approved oral therapies, supporting a targeted delivery profile designed to maximize local efficacy while minimizing systemic side effects.
Building on these positive results, Hoth has received regulatory approval in Hungary, enabling expansion of the Phase 2 clinical trial into Europe. The Company anticipates additional regulatory approvals in Spain and Poland, with site activations expected in the near term. In the United States, an additional clinical site is expected to be activated, further accelerating patient enrollment and data generation.
"The achievement of these interim results, combined with strong patient-reported outcomes and the ability to maintain uninterrupted cancer therapy, represents a meaningful advancement for HT-001," said Robb Knie Chief Executive Officer of Hoth Therapeutics. "With over 65% of patients reporting reductions in pain and itching, along with a favorable safety profile and expanding global clinical footprint, we believe HT-001 is well positioned as a differentiated therapy addressing a critical unmet need in oncology supportive care."
Dermatologic toxicities remain a significant challenge for patients undergoing cancer treatment, often leading to discomfort, reduced quality of life, and in some cases treatment modification or discontinuation. HT-001's ability to demonstrate primary endpoint achievement, meaningful symptom improvement, and zero disruption to EGFR inhibitor therapy may represent a compelling advancement over existing treatment options.

Mean Cavg increased to 3.36 ng/mL from 1.90 ng/mL (~76.8%), while mean Cmax increased to 4.56 ng/mL from 3.07 ng/mL (~48.5%), demonstrating consistent, dose-dependent increases in drug exposure.
Mean and individual concentration-time profiles showed higher overall exposure at Day 42 compared to Day 1. Semilog analysis confirmed predictable elimination kinetics and sustained plasma concentrations across the dosing interval.
Importantly, systemic exposure following topical HT-001 remained minimal relative to oral formulations. On Day 1, exposure levels were approximately 0.2% of those observed with FDA-approved oral formulations, and remained below 0.5% on Day 42 despite repeated dosing.
Systemic absorption was observed in a subset of subjects, consistent with topical delivery, and remained low overall, supporting a favorable systemic safety profile.
Across paired evaluable subjects, the mean accumulation ratio (RA_AUCt) was approximately 2.09x, with mean RA_Cmax of approximately 1.72x, supporting repeat-dose pharmacokinetic activity and sustained drug levels over time.
Safety and tolerability findings included:
"These pharmacokinetic results, combined with a favorable safety and tolerability profile, support the continued advancement of HT-001," said Robb Knie, Chief Executive Officer of Hoth Therapeutics. "The approximately 77% increase in systemic exposure, along with consistent accumulation and minimal systemic absorption relative to oral therapies, reinforces our dosing strategy as we advance development."
The Company believes these data support continued clinical advancement and dose optimization, with PK findings aligning with observed clinical outcomes, including meaningful reductions in symptom severity and sustained patient response.

Hoth Therapeutics Reports Positive Female Preclinical Data Showing HT-VA Restores Cholesterol Levels and Improves Lipid Metabolism in MASLD Model
March 10, 2026 8:13 AM
PR Newswire (US)
HT-VA restores cholesterol to control-diet levels and maintains lower triglycerides compared with semaglutide in western diet–fed female mice
Treatment preserved hepatic autophagy and maintained normal liver cellular homeostasis
Findings support continued development of HT-VA for metabolic dysfunction associated with obesity and MASLD
NEW YORK, March 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hoth Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: HOTH), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative therapies for patients with unmet medical needs, today announced new female-specific preclinical results from the second phase of its metabolic disease study evaluating glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF).
The second phase of the study evaluated serum liver biochemistry and hepatic molecular pathways in female mice fed a western diet to model metabolic dysfunction associated with obesity and Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD).
Results demonstrate that GDNF improved lipid metabolism biomarkers and preserved key cellular pathways in the liver compared with western diet controls and the GLP-1 agonist Semaglutide.
GDNF Restores Elevated Cholesterol Levels to Control-Diet Range in Western Diet–Fed Female Mice
Female mice fed a western diet demonstrated increased serum cholesterol levels relative to control diet animals.
Treatment with GDNF restored cholesterol concentrations to levels comparable with control diet-fed mice, indicating improved lipid metabolism in the diet-induced metabolic dysfunction model.
GDNF Maintains Lower Triglyceride Levels While Semaglutide Increases Triglycerides in Female Mice
Female mice treated with Semaglutide while on a western diet showed increased serum triglyceride levels.
In contrast, GDNF-treated western diet mice maintained lower triglyceride levels, demonstrating a more favorable lipid profile in this study.
Albumin and Alkaline Phosphatase Remain Stable Across Female Treatment Groups
Analysis of liver biochemistry markers demonstrated:
These findings indicate liver synthetic function remained stable across female treatment groups.
GDNF Preserves Hepatic Autophagy While Semaglutide Increases p62 Accumulation
Evaluation of liver autophagy markers revealed:
Accumulation of p62 is associated with impaired autophagic degradation, suggesting GDNF preserved normal cellular recycling pathways in the liver.
No Activation of Lipid Uptake or Lipogenesis Pathways Observed in Female Mice Treated with GDNF

HOTH THERAPEUTICS ACCELERATES HT-001 TRIAL ENROLLMENT WITH NEW CLINICAL SITE AS PATIENT DEMAND INCREASES
February 24, 2026 4:15 PM
PR Newswire (US)
CLEER-001 Phase 2a Expansion Signals Growing Momentum Behind First-in-Class Therapy for Cancer Patients With No Current FDA-Approved Treatment Option
NEW YORK, Feb. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hoth Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: HOTH) today announced a significant expansion of its CLEER-001 Phase 2a clinical trial with the addition of Regis Clinical Research as a new enrolling site. Located in Miami, Florida, Regis joins the growing CLEER-001 investigational site network as surging patient demand outpaces capacity at existing sites — a direct reflection of the compelling early clinical results HT-001 has produced and the desperate unmet need it addresses.
For the estimated 200,000 Americans who begin EGFR Inhibitor cancer therapy each year, the skin toxicities that accompany treatment are not a minor inconvenience. They are severe, often disfiguring rashes, lesions, and unrelenting itch that force up to one-third of patients to reduce or discontinue the chemotherapy keeping them alive. Today, those patients have no FDA-approved treatment option. HT-001 is designed to change that — and the data so far suggests it can.
Positive Signal
The interim CLEER-001 data is generating physician and patient interest that drives enrollment expansions like today's announcement:
For a patient population that currently has no targeted treatment, results like these represent a potential paradigm shift in how oncologists can manage one of the most common and quality-of-life-destroying side effects in all of cancer care.
A New Site, A New Market, A Growing Network
Regis Clinical Research brings IRB-approved, FDA-compliant research infrastructure and a new South Florida patient population to the CLEER-001 network. For Hoth, it means faster enrollment, a faster path to a complete data set, and a faster road to the regulatory milestones that matter.
"The addition of Regis Clinical Research is a direct response to the acceleration we are seeing in enrollment demand," said Robb Knie, Chief Executive Officer of Hoth Therapeutics. "The data speaks for itself. Patients and oncologists are taking notice — and we are building the infrastructure to meet that demand and deliver the full clinical readout this program deserves."
Patients and referring physicians may visit regisclinical.com or call +1 (305) 546-3952 to learn more about participation in the CLEER-001 trial.

Hoth Therapeutics Announces Groundbreaking Positive Results: Hoth's HT-VA GDNF Surpasses Semaglutide in Weight Loss, Glucose Control, and Liver Health in Obesity Model
February 10, 2026 8:30 AM
PR Newswire (US)
In a head-to-head preclinical comparison, HT-VA co-developed with the United States Veterans Administration GDNF demonstrated superior efficacy compared with semaglutide (the active ingredient in Wegovy®️ and Ozempic®️) across key metrics, including weight stabilization, glucose tolerance, liver weight reduction, and adipose tissue control—particularly in female models
NEW YORK, Feb. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hoth Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: HOTH), a patient-focused biopharmaceutical company developing innovative therapies for unmet medical needs, today announced compelling preclinical data from its VA-backed study on glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) as a novel treatment for obesity and metabolic-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). In a head-to-head comparison, GDNF demonstrated superior efficacy over semaglutide (the active ingredient in Wegovy® and Ozempic®) in key metrics, including weight stabilization, glucose tolerance, liver weight reduction, and adipose tissue control—particularly in female models.
This breakthrough positions GDNF as a potential gamechanger in the $200 billion obesity market, offering a differentiated mechanism that could address limitations of current GLP-1 agonists like gastrointestinal side effects and muscle loss. With obesity affecting over 1 billion people globally and MASLD impacting up to 30% of adults, GDNF's multi-faceted benefits could revolutionize treatment paradigms.
Key Study Highlights:
"These results are a monumental step forward for Hoth and the fight against obesity," said Robb Knie, CEO of Hoth Therapeutics. "GDNF not only matched but exceeded semaglutide in critical areas, opening doors to a new era of safer, more effective therapies. As we advance this program, we're excited about its potential to deliver life-changing outcomes for patients and significant value for our shareholders."
The study builds on prior research showing GDNF's protective role against diet-induced obesity. Future analyses will include liver pathology, lipid content, and gene/protein expression to further elucidate mechanisms. Hoth plans to accelerate GDNF toward IND-enabling studies, targeting clinical trials in 2027.
Hoth's GDNF program is part of a robust pipeline, including HT-001 (Phase 2 for cancer-related skin toxicities), HT-KIT (Orphan Drug Designation for mast cell cancers), and HT-ALZ (for Alzheimer's).
