In other recent news, Geron Corporation has been under the spotlight following a series of significant developments. The company's third quarter of 2024 was marked by the successful launch of RYTELO, generating a substantial $28.2 million in net product revenue, demonstrating high market demand. Total (EPA:TTEF) net revenues reached $28.3 million, indicating a noteworthy increase from the previous year.
Stifel recently reaffirmed its Buy rating for Geron, maintaining an $8.00 stock price target. The endorsement followed presentations at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) meeting, showcasing data on Geron's product candidate, Imetelstat, marketed as Rytelo. The data from the IMerge development program demonstrated that Imetelstat's efficacy is indifferent to patients' prior treatments, even for those heavily transfused with lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (LR-MDS) who had previously received luspatercept.
New data from the IMerge clinical trial indicates that Imetelstat may be beneficial for patients with LR-MDS with transfusion-dependent anemia, regardless of their previous treatments. The findings suggest that Imetelstat's clinical activity aligns with previous results from the IMerge Phase 3 pivotal trial. Analysts predict substantial revenue growth of over 310% for the coming year, reflecting the market potential of this treatment.
Finally, Geron is preparing for potential EU marketing authorization and launch of RYTELO by 2026. Despite not providing specific financial guidance for future quarters or fiscal years, the company remains optimistic about RYTELO's market potential and aims to establish it as a standard treatment for lower-risk MDS.
