Excerpt from the Press Release:

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. and MIAMI, Feb. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — 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 cancer indications, today announced the activation of four clinical trial sites in the United States. These U.S. clinical trial sites in Texas and Virginia are now open and actively enrolling patients.

This announcement follows the approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the Investigational New Drug (IND) application for PAS-004, and FDA review of the protocol for the Company’s Phase 1 multicenter, open-label trial of PAS-004 in patients with MAPK pathway-driven advanced solid tumors with a documented RAS, NF1 or RAF mutation or patients who have failed BRAF/MEK inhibition.

The objective of the Phase 1 study is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of PAS-004 as well as to evaluate the preliminary anticancer activity (efficacy) of PAS-004 and to define the preliminary recommended Phase 2 dose.

The Company’s clinical development plan for PAS-004 following the Phase 1 study is to begin a Phase 2 clinical trial in NF1 pediatric and adult patients as soon as safety and PK are established.
