Cohort 7 in Ongoing Ph 1 Trial of PAS-004 in Advanced Cancer Patients completed
Dr. Tiago Reis Marques, Chief Executive Officer of Pasithea commented, “We are highly encouraged by the initial safety data generated in Cohort 7 (37mg capsules), where zero treatment-related adverse events have been observed during the DLT period. Furthermore, PD data demonstrates the pharmacological profile we believe is necessary to achieve consistent pathway inhibition over the 24-hour dosing period, while avoiding both periods of excessive suppression and periods of insufficient target engagement. We believe this balanced profile will be critical for achieving clinical efficacy while minimizing the most commonly observed adverse events associated with MEK inhibitors. We believe PAS-004 is particularly well suited for the treatment of diseases involving the MAPK pathway that require chronic dosing over long periods of time, where sustained long-term pathway suppression at safe and well-tolerated doses is required.”
