-- Demonstrates PAS-004's potential as a differentiated MEK inhibitor for immune-mediated inflammatory diseases such as IBD and ankylosing spondylitis – -- Positions PAS-004 for potential expansion beyond MAPK pathway driven tumors into inflammatory diseases – -- PAS-004 outperforms FDA-approved MEK inhibitor selumetinib in targeting ETS2 pathway – -- Study conducted at Francis Crick Institute by lead author of 2024 Nature paper that identified ETS2 as a central regulator of macrophage-driven Inflammation in IBD -- MIAMI, May 20, 2025 (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, today announced new preclinical data demonstrating that PAS-004 provides superior inhibition of ETS2-driven inflammatory responses compared to selumetinib in a human macrophage model of chronic inflammation that mimics the inflammatory milieu seen in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This study was conducted at the Francis Crick Institute in London, U.K. by Dr. James Lee, a gastroenterologist and Clinician Scientist Group Leader at the Genetic Mechanisms of Disease Laboratory.
