Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Pasithea Therapeutics Corp. reported progress in its Phase 1/1b study of PAS-004 in adult patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1)-associated plexiform neurofibromas. The company has activated two clinical trial sites in South Korea, Asan Medical Centre and Severance Hospital Yonsei University Health System, which are now recruiting, and the first South Korean patient has been dosed.

Globally, the NF1 trial has moved from Cohort 1, a 4mg tablet dose, to enrolling patients in Cohort 2 at an 8mg tablet dose after an external Safety Review Committee recommended proceeding without modification. Initial interim clinical data from the first two cohorts are expected in the first quarter of 2026, which will begin to show how PAS-004 is performing on safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in this NF1 population.

Insights

NF1 trial for PAS-004 advances dosing and expands to South Korea.

Pasithea is advancing its PAS-004 program in NF1-associated plexiform neurofibromas by opening two clinical sites in South Korea and dosing the first patient there. This indicates operational momentum and geographic expansion of the Phase 1/1b trial, potentially improving enrollment in a rare disease setting.

The trial has progressed from Cohort 1 at a 4mg tablet dose to enrolling Cohort 2 at 8mg after an external Safety Review Committee recommended proceeding without modification. That committee decision suggests the initial safety and tolerability profile at the lower dose was acceptable within the trial’s framework, although no detailed data are provided.

The expectation of initial interim clinical data from the first two cohorts in the first quarter of 2026 sets a clear upcoming catalyst tied to safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics readouts. Subsequent disclosures around that timeframe will clarify whether PAS-004’s emerging profile supports continued development in NF1 patients.
