- First patient dosed in open-label, multi-cohort Phase 2 basket trial (NCT07704099) of rinvatercept in late-ambulatory and early non-ambulatory Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients.
- Primary objective is safety and tolerability; key secondary objectives include pharmacokinetics, anti-drug antibodies, body composition and skeletal muscle, motor, cardiac and pulmonary function.
- Company expects initial data from the trial in the first half of 2027.
- CEO Jasbir Seehra said rinvatercept is designed to modulate key regulators of muscle and bone biology, advancing Keros' neuromuscular strategy.
- Gina O'Grady of Starship Children's Hospital said DMD still places a significant burden on patients and the need for additional options remains high.
