Keros (NASDAQ: KROS), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of novel treatments for patients suffering from hematological, pulmonary and cardiovascular disorders, announced that it presented clinical and preclinical data at the 64th American Society of Hematology (“ASH”) Annual Meeting and Exposition. The event was held in person and virtually from Dec. 10 -13, 2022. “We are pleased to present clinical and preclinical data from our lead hematological programs at ASH this year. In our ongoing phase 2 clinical trial in MDS, we observed a sustained response with longer-term treatment with KER-050 across all transfusion burdens. Data from our ongoing phase 2 trial in MF support the potential for KER-050 to treat multiple cytopenias as either a monotherapy or in combination with ruxolitinib,” said Jasbir S. Seehra, Ph.D., president and CEO of Keros. “In addition, clinical data from one IRIDA patient in our phase 2 clinical trial of KER-047 was suggestive of iron redistribution consistent with KER-047’s mechanism of action.”
