(“Keros” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: KROS), 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 (“TGF-ß”) family of proteins, today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. “We are excited that our partner Takeda plans to advance elritercept into a Phase 3 clinical trial to evaluate elritercept in the first-line setting in myelodysplastic syndromes,” said Jasbir S.
