Keros Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company pioneering novel therapies targeting the TGF-β signaling pathway to address unmet needs in hematologic, pulmonary, and cardiovascular disorders. Its lead programs include KER-012, a ligand trap for activin and myostatin, which recently completed a Phase 2 trial in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) with topline data expected soon, and KER-047, an activin receptor-like kinase-2 inhibitor for iron deficiency anemia, though its Phase 2 study was withdrawn.
