Description: KROS Keros Therapeutics December 26, 2025
Keros Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: KROS) is a clinical-stage biopharma focused on drugs that modulate the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) pathway, a signaling axis implicated in several hematologic and cardiovascular disorders.
The company’s lead asset, KER-050, is in Phase II/III development for cytopenias-specifically anemia and thrombocytopenia-in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and myelofibrosis (MF). If approved, KER-050 would address a market estimated at $2 billion in the U.S. alone, where current treatments (e.g., luspatercept) have limited durability. As of the most recent 10-Q, Keros reported cash and cash equivalents of roughly $120 million, giving it an estimated 12-month runway at current burn rates (~$10 million per quarter).
Beyond KER-050, the pipeline includes KER-012, a Phase II candidate for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and related cardiovascular disease, and KER-065, a Phase I program targeting neuromuscular disorders. Keros also holds a collaboration with Hansoh Healthtech (Shanghai) to develop, manufacture, and commercialize elritercept-based products, providing a potential non-U.S. revenue stream and shared R&D costs.
Sector-wide, biotechnology R&D spending is projected to grow ~8 % YoY, driven by advances in protein therapeutics and regulatory incentives for orphan diseases-factors that could enhance Keros’s access to capital and partnership opportunities. However, the company remains highly dependent on the success of its lead program, and any delay or negative data in the KER-050 trials would materially impair its valuation.
