Keros Therapeutics, Inc.

We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing novel therapeutics to treat a wide range of patients with disorders that are linked to dysfunctional signaling of the transforming growth factor-beta, or TGF- , family of proteins. We are a leader in understanding the role of the TGF- family of proteins, which are master regulators of the growth, repair and maintenance of a number of tissues, including skeletal muscle, bone, adipose, heart tissue and blood. By leveraging this understanding, we have discovered and are developing protein therapeutics that have the potential to provide meaningful and potentially disease-modifying benefit to patients. Our lead product candidate, rinvatercept (KER-065), is being developed for the treatment of neuromuscular diseases. Our most advanced product candidate, elritercept (KER-050), is being developed for the treatment of low blood cell counts, or cytopenias, including anemia and thrombocytopenia, in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes, or MDS, and in patients with myelofibrosis. In December 2024, we entered into an exclusive license agreement with Takeda Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc., or Takeda, to further develop, manufacture and commercialize elritercept worldwide outside of mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau, which became effective on January 16, 2025. Rinvatercept is designed to bind to and inhibit TGF- ligands, including myostatin (GDF8) and activin A, which are negative regulators of muscle and bone mass and strength.
