  • Keros Therapeutics (KROS) Advances Rinvatercept for DMD, ALS in 2026
    May 22, 2026, 12:45 PM EDT. Keros Therapeutics (KROS) is advancing rinvatercept, its lead neuromuscular drug candidate targeting transforming growth factor-beta ligands to treat Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The FDA granted orphan drug designation for rinvatercept in August 2025, underscoring regulatory progress. The company aims to start a Phase II trial in DMD patients by Q3 2026. Rinvatercept seeks to inhibit muscle-degrading proteins to promote muscle regeneration, reduce fibrosis, and enhance bone strength. Keros's focus on this pathway targets unmet needs in DMD treatment, potentially offering an alternative to corticosteroids, which can cause muscle breakdown and fat gain. The company has streamlined its R&D after transferring elritercept costs to Takeda, concentrating resources on rinvatercept development. Multiple upcoming clinical and regulatory milestones could shift investor expectations in 2026.
