The way forward

Dear members, Thanks to everyone who reached out to me. It helped me understand how much this board means to you. Combined with your pledges for support, this made me decide to keep ImetelChat in the air at least until we've figured out a way to keep this community alive. In a practical sense the fu...

Goodbye

Dear reader, It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of my father and founder of this website, Fishermangents. He gave me his username and password before he died, as he became too weak to contribute in any way. "Fish" suffered from Myelofibrosis (MF) for which he received a stem cell t...

Re: (08-02-2018) - Janssen BioTech applies for global patent for combo treatment for hematologic cancers, incl imetelsta

Great comments, thanks. For now I would stIck to hematolgic cancers and leave solid tumors aside. This patent is limited to that for very good and well researched reasons (medical, business), as we may expect from a partner like JnJ. It is this focus that adds to its strength.

Re: Geron to present at 17th Needham Healthcare Conference on March 27, 2018

Difficult to say; I am not expecting real new things and I do believe known things to be confirmed. So in my opinion there is a good change of GERN going up further or there will be little profit taking. Both, on the longer term, are not that significant, so taking the momentum and setting aside som...

Re: Concerning anonymous short sellers

One of the measures a company can take is making sure that there is enough cash on board to bridge to success. So far Geron has anticipated to that. Suing manipulative short attacks is risky, as the shorters may use that to prove there is really something wrong. However, SEC should be able to step u...

Re: EMA Prime

If Median OS is not reached, that is good. In order to put the survivors into the perspective it is important how these survivors are doing, why they survive, even after Median OS has been achieved. That will give additional weight to the benefits and to see the depth of PR's and CR's and the target...

In ongoing settings such as clinical trials, the median has the advantage that it can be calculated o...
