Keros Therapeutics announced a strategic realignment designed to reallocate resources towards the development of its key clinical program, KER-065 for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).
Keros announced several Board of Directors and leadership transitions intended to support the Company’s streamlined vision and operational focus. These actions reflect Keros’ confidence in the therapeutic potential of KER-065 and will better enable the Company to achieve its mission of delivering meaningful and potentially disease-modifying benefits to patients.
“In line with Keros’ commitment to delivering value for stockholders and patients, we have made the decision to streamline our operations and focus exclusively on advancing KER-065, an asset we believe has therapeutic potential for individuals living with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (“DMD”),” said Jasbir S. Seehra, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Keros Therapeutics. “By prioritizing our most promising clinical program, we expect Keros to operate with greater precision and urgency to unlock additional value for stockholders. With a refined strategy, streamlined leadership and a strong clinical foundation, we believe we are well-positioned to initiate the next phase of clinical development for KER-065.”
The Company previously announced initial topline results from the Phase 1 clinical trial of KER-065 in healthy volunteers, with the trial achieving key objectives for safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. The Company believes that the robust data supports the advancement of the program into a Phase 2 clinical trial of KER-065 in patients with DMD, which the Company expects to initiate in the first quarter of 2026, subject to positive regulatory interaction.
