April 24 2025 - 7:02AM
Pasithea Therapeutics Corp. (NASDAQ: KTTA) (“Pasithea” or the
“Company”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing
PAS-004, a next-generation macrocyclic MEK inhibitor, for the
treatment of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and other MAPK pathway
driven indications, today announced the acceptance of an abstract
for a poster prenstation at the Annual Meeting of the American
Society for Clinical Oncology (ASCO) taking place May 30 – June 3,
2025, in Chicago, Illinois.
The Company will present updated interim
clinical data from its onging Phase 1 clinical trial of PAS-004 in
patients with MAPK pathway driven advanced solid tumors.
“We are pleased to present interim clinical data
of PAS-004 through cohort 4A and 4B, that to date has demonstrated
clinical activity, target engagement, and a favorable safety
profile,” said Dr. Tiago Reis Marques, Chief Executive Officer of
Pasithea. “We believe PAS-004’s emerging profile may achieve the
sweet spot between PK, PD and tolerability and may make PAS-004 an
ideal candidate for the treatment of NF1 related cutaneous and
plexiform neurofibromas as well as a potential candidate for
treatment of various cancers and MAPK pathway driven diseases.”
