Prix Geron Corp (GERN)

Geron Corp. operates as a biotechnology company. The company is headquartered in Foster City, California and currently employs 229 full-time employees. The firm develops first-in-class telomerase inhibitor, RYTELO (imetelstat) for the treatment of adult patients with low- to intermediate-1 risk myelodysplastic syndromes (lower-risk MDS), with transfusion-dependent (TD) anemia requiring four or more red blood cell units over eight weeks who have not responded to or have lost response to or are ineligible for erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs). RYTELO is supported by the high unmet need in lower-risk MDS, including the observed benefit of RYTELO in difficult-to-treat subpopulations, such as patients with high transfusion burden and ring sideroblast negative (RS-) patients. The company is also engaged in conducting a pivotal Phase III clinical trial of imetelstat in JAK-inhibitor relapsed/refractory myelofibrosis (R/R MF), as well as studies in other myeloid hematologic malignancies.
