SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Gossamer Bio, Inc. (Nasdaq: GOSS), a late-stage, clinical biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of seralutinib for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD), today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2024, and provided a business update.

“As we close the book on 2024 and embrace the promise of 2025, I am both humbled and energized by the remarkable progress that Gossamer has made in its mission to improve the lives of pulmonary hypertension patients,” said Faheem Hasnain, Chairman, Co-Founder and CEO of Gossamer Bio.

“Rationally designed to target pathways of abnormal cellular proliferation, inflammation and fibrosis in pulmonary hypertension, we believe that seralutinib, which is currently being studied in the registrational PROSERA Study in PAH, has the potential to reshape the treatment paradigm."

“Our confidence in seralutinib is such that we expect to activate clinical sites for our second registrational Phase 3 study, in PH-ILD patients, in the second half of this year. And beyond PAH and PH-ILD, there are additional indications of high unmet need for which we believe seralutinib holds the potential to improve patients’ lives. But despite the opportunities that lie ahead of seralutinib, the Gossamer team remains intensely focused on execution of the PROSERA Study to ensure topline results by end of the year.”

Seralutinib (GB002): Inhaled PDGFR, CSF1R and c-KIT Inhibitor

• Enrollment is ongoing in the PROSERA Study, a global registrational Phase 3 clinical trial in patients with WHO Functional Class II and III PAH. The primary endpoint is change in six-minute walk distance (6MWD) from baseline at week 24. Topline results from the PROSERA Study are expected in the fourth quarter of 2025.
• We expect to activate clinical sites for a registrational Phase 3 PH-ILD clinical trial in the second half of 2025. The planned Phase 3 study will be a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, global clinical trial in PH-ILD patients.
• On January 31st, Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW), granted seralutinib Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of PAH. Previously, the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency of Japan (PMDA), allowed inclusion of Japanese clinical trial sites in the ongoing Phase 3 PROSERA Study. Subject to final clinical trial results, PROSERA could form the basis of a marketing application in Japan.
• One oral presentation and three posters related to seralutinib were presented at the Pulmonary Vascular Research Institute (PVRI) 2025 Annual Congress that took place January 29th through February 1st in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Posters linked below:
