KER-065 is under clinical development by Keros Therapeutics and currently in Phase I for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. According to GlobalData, Phase I drugs for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy have an 81% phase transition success rate (PTSR) indication benchmark for progressing into Phase II. GlobalData’s report assesses how KER-065’s drug-specific PTSR and Likelihood of Approval (LoA) scores compare to the indication benchmarks. Buy the report here.

GlobalData tracks drug-specific phase transition and likelihood of approval scores, in addition to indication benchmarks based off 18 years of historical drug development data. Attributes of the drug, company and its clinical trials play a fundamental role in drug-specific PTSR and likelihood of approval.

KER-065 overview

KER-065 is under development for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy and obesity. The drug candidate is a protein which is an engineered ligand trap comprised of a modified ligand-binding domain derived from ActRIIA and ActRIIB that is fused to the portion of the human antibody known as the Fc domain and acts by targeting TGF beta ligand, including myostatin (GDF8), and activin A. It is administered through subcutaneous route.
