About
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of KER-050 on anemia in patients with very low, low or intermediate risk MDS.
Full description
KER-050 is a therapeutic protein designed to increase red blood cell and platelet production by inhibiting the signaling of a subset of the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-ß) family of proteins to promote hematopoiesis. It is being developed for the treatment of low blood cell counts, or cytopenias including anemia and thrombocytopenia in patients with Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) and Myelofibrosis (MF).
