What GERON CORP does

In the company’s own words

Geron Corporation (NASDAQ: GRON) is a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing treatments for blood cancers. The company's flagship product, RYTELO (imetelstat), is a first-in-class telomerase inhibitor that received FDA approval in June 2024 for treating adult patients with low- to intermediate-1 risk myelodysplastic syndromes with transfusion-dependent anemia. RYTELO also received European Commission approval in March 2025, making it the first and only telomerase inhibitor approved in the European Union. The company launched RYTELO commercially in the United States in June 2024 and is pursuing commercialization strategies in select European markets through partnerships with experienced third parties.

Geron's pipeline includes the Phase 3 IMpactMF clinical trial evaluating imetelstat in patients with relapsed or refractory myelofibrosis, which completed enrollment in September 2025. The company is also conducting investigator-led studies in higher-risk myelodysplastic syndromes, acute myeloid leukemia, and frontline myelofibrosis, as well as pursuing a discovery program for next-generation oral telomerase inhibitors.

The company's technology is based on telomerase inhibition, targeting the enzyme that enables malignant cells to proliferate indefinitely. Imetelstat is designed to bind to telomerase's RNA template, thereby suppressing proliferation of malignant stem and progenitor cells while minimizing effects on normal cells. This approach is grounded in Nobel Prize-winning science related to telomere biology.

Geron maintains global commercial rights to RYTELO and holds issued patents providing coverage through 2033 in the United States and Europe, with potential for patent term extensions. The company operates with a commercial infrastructure including over 60 key account managers and regional teams supporting patient access through its REACH4RYTELO patient support program. The company's website is www.geron.com. Geron operates as a Delaware corporation with wholly owned subsidiaries in the United Kingdom and Netherlands.
