Keros Therapeutics Initiates Phase 3 Clinical Trial for Elritercept, Triggers $10 Million Milestone Payment
Keros Therapeutics, Inc., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, has commenced the Phase 3 RENEW clinical trial involving elritercept. This trial focuses on adults with transfusion-dependent anemia associated with very low, low, or intermediate risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). The first patient dosing in this trial has triggered a $10 million milestone payment to Keros from Takeda, under a global license agreement. This agreement, effective since January 2025, allows Takeda to develop, manufacture, and commercialize elritercept outside of mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau. Keros had previously received a $200 million upfront cash payment and is eligible for additional development, commercial, and sales milestones that could exceed $1.1 billion. Additionally, Keros will be entitled to tiered royalties on net sales. The results of this trial are yet to be presented.
