SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$GOSS--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 third quarter ended September 30, 2025, and provided a business update. Gossamer Bio and the Chiesi Group are jointly developing seralutinib under a global collaboration agreement.
“We are proud to be progressing through the final stages of the PROSERA Phase 3 Study. This is a pivotal moment for our team, and I am continually impressed by the focus, diligence, and professionalism that everyone brings to this important work. We look forward to sharing top-line results with the community in February of next year,” said Faheem Hasnain, Chairman, Co-Founder, and CEO of Gossamer Bio.
“At the same time, we are encouraged by the engagement from the PH-ILD community as we begin to activate the first clinical sites in the SERANATA Phase 3 study. We are grateful for the opportunity to collaborate closely with physicians and patients to better understand the challenges for those living with this challenging and under-treated disease. We are excited to begin enrollment, and we are hopeful that our collective efforts will ultimately improve the lives of patients living with PH-ILD.”
Seralutinib (GB002): Inhaled PDGFR, CSF1R and c-KIT Inhibitor
Seralutinib: Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
- On June 11th, we completed enrollment for the ongoing Phase 3 PROSERA Study with 390 WHO Functional Class II and III PAH patients. The PROSERA Study is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, global registrational clinical trial evaluating seralutinib in PAH patients, on top of background PAH therapy. Patients are randomized 1:1 to either the seralutinib or placebo arms. Patients received blinded treatment for up to 48 weeks.
- The primary endpoint of the PROSERA Study is change in six-minute walk distance (6MWD) from baseline as compared to placebo at week 24. Included in the key secondary endpoints is time to clinical worsening, as compared to placebo, up to week 48. In addition to other secondary and exploratory endpoints, safety and tolerability will be evaluated.
- We expect to announce topline results from the ongoing Phase 3 PROSERA Study in February 2026.
Seralutinib: Pulmonary Hypertension Associated with Interstitial Lung Disease
- In the fourth quarter of this year, the first clinical site was activated for the global, registrational Phase 3 SERANATA Study in PH-ILD patients.
- The SERANATA Study is a 24-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, global clinical trial in PH-ILD patients. Approximately 480 patients will be randomized 1:1:1 to receive either 90mg seralutinib twice-daily, 120mg seralutinib twice-daily or placebo.
- The primary endpoint of the SERANATA Study is change in 6MWD from baseline as compared to placebo at week 24. Key secondary endpoints will include time to clinical worsening and change from baseline in forced vital capacity (FVC).

Vardenafil: Inhaled Phosphodiesterase Type 5 (PDE5) Inhibitor
- On September 24th, we entered into a strategic option agreement to acquire Respira Therapeutics Inc. (Respira) and its lead product candidate, an inhaled formulation of vardenafil in development for as needed (PRN) use in pulmonary hypertension, including PAH and PH‑ILD, for which there are no currently approved PRN products.
- At our discretion, we may exercise the option to acquire Respira through the issuance of 1.5 million shares of Gossamer Bio common stock, representing less than 1% of Gossamer’s outstanding shares. This structure is designed to minimize near-term cash burn and preserve Gossamer’s financial position. If the option is exercised, Gossamer does not expect to commence further clinical trials until at least 2027.
Financial Results for Quarter Ended September 30, 2025
- Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities: Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $180.2 million as of September 30, 2025. We expect the combination of current cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will be sufficient to fund our operating and capital expenditures into 2027.
- Revenue from contracts with collaborators: For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, revenue associated with our collaboration with Chiesi was $13.3 million, including $9.2 million of cost reimbursement revenue, compared to $9.5 million of revenue for the same period in 2024.
- Research and Development (R&D) Expenses: For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, R&D expenses were $45.5 million, compared to $34.9 million for the same period in 2024.
- General and Administrative Expenses (G&A): For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, G&A expenses were $9.4 million, compared to $8.5 million for the same period in 2024.
