Gossamer Bio, Inc. (Nasdaq: GOSS) (the “Company” or “Gossamer”), a clinical-stage 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), announced a series of regulatory, strategic, and corporate updates. Following a productive Pre-NDA Type B meeting with the
“This is a defining moment for Gossamer,” said Faheem Hasnain, Chairman, Co-Founder, and CEO of Gossamer. “Following a very productive and collaborative engagement with FDA at our Pre-NDA Type B meeting and now with the FDA's final meeting minutes in hand, we are moving forward with a planned NDA submission for seralutinib in PAH in September. After years of disciplined execution, we are now closer than ever to bringing forward what we believe can be a first-in-class, important new medicine for PAH patients who need better options.
“Reacquiring the worldwide rights to seralutinib is equally significant. It returns global development and commercialization decisions to Gossamer and secures the substantial majority of the program's long-term economics for our shareholders, positioning us to realize the full strategic and financial value of seralutinib across PAH and future indications. We enter the second half of 2026 with increased clarity on our planned regulatory path, worldwide rights in hand, a healthier balance sheet and real momentum behind us. There has never been a more exciting time in Gossamer's history, and we look forward to the milestones ahead.”

Regulatory Interactions: Type B Pre-NDA Meeting, Receipt of FDA Meeting Minutes and Planned NDA Submission
- The Company held a Pre-NDA Type B meeting with the FDA in mid-June 2026 and has since received the official meeting minutes.
- Based on the meeting minutes, the FDA characterized the degree of statistical significance and the magnitude of the treatment effect observed in PROSERA as review issues rather than filing issues. On that basis, the Company intends to submit an NDA supported by one adequate and well-controlled study (Phase 3 PROSERA) plus confirmatory evidence (Phase 2 TORREY and supportive analyses).
- FDA provided feedback on the format and content of the planned NDA submission.
- The Company plans to submit the NDA for seralutinib in PAH in September 2026. If accepted for filing, seralutinib could be eligible for an FDA approval decision in the third quarter of 2027.
- While the meeting minutes reflect FDA feedback as of the meeting date, the FDA's ultimate determination on approvability will be made upon review of the complete NDA.
Reacquisition of Worldwide Commercial and Development Rights for Seralutinib from Chiesi
- Gossamer and Chiesi agreed to terminate their Collaboration and License Agreement.
- As a result of the termination, Gossamer has reacquired worldwide development and commercial rights to seralutinib from Chiesi, consolidating global development and commercial control of the program under Gossamer ahead of the planned NDA submission.
- The termination dissolves the prior
U.S . 50/50 profit share and returns ex-U.S . rights to Gossamer, giving the Company full operational control of development, manufacturing, commercialization, pricing, and lifecycle strategy across all geographies. - The termination agreement requires Chiesi to make a one-time
payment to Gossamer shortly after signing, settling all outstanding and future obligations under the prior collaboration, including second-quarter 2026 costs. Gossamer makes no upfront cash payment to reacquire the rights.$5 million - In exchange, Chiesi is entitled to a capped royalty on worldwide net sales of seralutinib, with no further royalty obligation once the cap is reached, as well as payments upon the achievement of specified regulatory and commercial milestones.
- As a result, Gossamer retains the substantial majority of seralutinib's global economics, versus its prior shared
U.S . economics and ex-U.S . royalty, and simplifies its royalty structure. - The reacquisition reflects Gossamer's conviction in seralutinib as a potential first-in-class therapy in PAH, with additional opportunity in PH-ILD and other indications, as the Company approaches a key regulatory milestone.
Special Meeting: Approval of Proposals Related to Convertible Note Exchange and Reverse Stock Split
- At a special meeting held on July 14, 2026, Gossamer’s stockholders approved the proposals related to the previously completed exchange of its
5.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”) and authorized the Board to effect a reverse stock split. - Through the exchange, Gossamer exchanged approximately
, or$181.1 million 90.5% , of the aggregate principal amount of 2027 Notes outstanding for approximately$200.0 million of new$65.2 million 7.50% Convertible Senior Secured First Lien Notes due 2030, together with the applicable equity securities and warrants. - The exchange strengthened Gossamer’s balance sheet by reducing the aggregate principal amount of the Company’s debt by approximately
, reducing the outstanding balance of the 2027 Notes to approximately$115.9 million , providing the Company greater flexibility to execute on its regulatory and commercial priorities.$18.9 million - The reverse stock split authorization provides the Company with flexibility to support compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement and support a share structure more appropriate for a public company.
- The Company expects to effect the reverse stock split in or promptly following the third quarter of 2026, with the timing and final ratio being subject to final Board action.
