Erythematous (CLE), a chronic autoimmune skin disease.

study is a positive step toward underlining the transformative
potential of AEA-loaded Z-pods™ in patients suffering from CLE,"
stated Mr. Robb Knie, CEO of Hoth Therapeutics, Inc. "We
are pleased with the results we have made in the development of our
lupus treatment since announcing our strategy earlier this
year with our partner Zylö Therapeutics. At the
conclusion of this study we look forward to the next steps in
bringing this treatment to those patients in need."
Mr. Scott Pancoast, CEO of Zylö,
added, "These compelling results, coupled with the data from a
preliminary study conducted at Einstein College of Medicine,
