Recent press releases and 8-K filings for GERN.
- Geron Corporation announced a strategic restructuring plan to position the company for long-term value creation and improve financial discipline.
- The plan includes an approximately one-third reduction in Geron's current workforce of approximately 260 employees.
- This restructuring is expected to result in initial projected full year 2026 operating expenses being less than projected full year 2025 operating expenses, with savings realized beginning in the first quarter of 2026.
- The restructuring plan is expected to be substantially complete in the first quarter of 2026.
- Geron Corporation achieved $47.2 million in RYTELO net product revenue in the third quarter of 2025.
- The company completed enrollment of 320 patients in its Phase 3 IMpactMF clinical trial and anticipates the interim analysis readout for overall survival in the second half of 2026.
- Geron reduced its 2025 total operating expenses guidance to between $250 million and $260 million and reported approximately $421.5 million in cash as of September 30, 2025.
- RYTELO ordering accounts increased by approximately 150 quarter-over-quarter to 1,150, and Ahmed ElNawawi was appointed Chief Commercial Officer.
- Geron reported $47.2 million in U.S. net sales for Rytello in the last quarter (Q3 2025), five quarters post-launch, acknowledging modest commercial uptake despite strong clinical data.
- To drive uptake, Geron is targeting second-line patients, supported by a September NCCN guideline update that places Rytello ahead of HMAs. The company has 1,150 active accounts, an increase of 150 in the last quarter, with 36% of patients now from earlier MDS settings.
- The global Phase 3 IMpactMF trial for myelofibrosis is fully enrolled as of September 2025, with interim analysis projected for H2 2026 and full analysis for H2 2028.
- Geron reduced its OpEx guidance for 2025 to $250 million - $260 million and expects no major increase in 2026, maintaining disciplined spending.
- Geron, a commercial-stage company, reported $47.2 million in U.S. net sales for RYTELO (imetelstat) in the last quarter, noting a "modest" launch despite strong clinical data.
- The company is focused on driving RYTELO uptake, particularly in second-line low-risk MDS patients, a strategy supported by an NCCN guideline update in September that positions RYTELO ahead of HMAs.
- Key metrics for RYTELO's commercial progress include 1,150 accounts (an increase of 150 in the last quarter) and 36% of patients coming from first-line/second-line lower MDS settings (up from 30% the quarter before).
- Geron's Phase 3 myelofibrosis trial (IMpactMF) is fully enrolled as of September, with interim analysis projected for H2 2026 and full analysis for H2 2028.
- The company has reduced its OpEx guidance for the current year to $250 million-$260 million and expects no major increase for next year, emphasizing disciplined expense management.
- Geron's new CEO, Harout Semerjian, who started three months prior, stated that the launch of their approved asset, Rytelo (imetelstat), a first-in-class telomerase inhibitor, has stalled at nearly $50 million net revenue. This was attributed to initial use in later-line patients and limited clinical experience among U.S. physicians, as the phase 3 trial was predominantly ex-U.S..
- The company is implementing strategic initiatives, including increased customer engagement and targeted education, to shift Rytelo utilization to the second-line setting, which is supported by recent NCCN guideline updates that now position Rytelo behind luspatercept.
- Management anticipates 2026 to be a growth year for Rytelo, driven by these strategic adjustments and upcoming data presentations at ASH, including long-term follow-up showing improved survival in MDS patients.
- Geron has European approval for Rytelo and is evaluating ex-U.S. commercialization strategies, including HTA conversations and potential partnerships, while prioritizing U.S. market performance to optimize international opportunities.
- Geron reported net product revenue of $47 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.
- Demand for Rytelo decreased 3% compared to the previous quarter, although prescribing accounts increased by 15% to 1,150 accounts with 150 new ordering accounts added in Q3.
