Keros Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: KROS) is a clinical-stage biopharma focused on novel therapies that modulate the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) signaling pathway. Its lead candidate, KER-050, targets cytopenias-including anemia and thrombocytopenia-in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and myelofibrosis. The pipeline also includes KER-012 (Phase II for pulmonary arterial hypertension and related cardiovascular disorders) and KER-065 (Phase I for neuromuscular diseases), plus a collaborative agreement with Hansoh Healthtech to develop and commercialize elritercept-based products.
As of the most recent quarter (Q4 2025), Keros reported $115 million in cash and cash equivalents, providing runway into mid-2027 under current burn rates. The Phase II data for KER-050 released in early 2025 showed a 45% improvement in transfusion-independent status among MDS patients, exceeding the primary endpoint. The company’s market capitalization stands around $350 million, and its stock has traded at a forward-price-to-sales multiple of roughly 12×, reflecting investor optimism about TGF-β-targeted therapeutics.
The biotechnology sector continues to benefit from strong R&D tax credits and a surge in venture capital directed at rare-disease and hematology programs, which supports Keros’s growth prospects. For deeper quantitative analysis, you may want to explore the ValueRay platform.
