Re: Brookings Institute

Bio, thanks for your interesting post. I think it is realistic that BAT is around the corner. We only know it when we see it. But taking the anticipated approval of 2017 seriously, would mean that a very fast process towards approval is needed. btw: here is the link: http://www.brookings.edu/events/...

Re: Geron to provide financial information at J.P.M. Healthcare conferefence

Bio, agree, long way to go. But there are more potential events that can trigger PPS, such as positive results about efficacy and safety as soon as the Part 1 IMerge read-outs. And not to forget potential fast track... btw: this is the link to the timeline slide: http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/da...

Re: New patent

Hi Bio, I agree that the title suggests more about PV. I guess there must be some tactics behind that. My take is that imet will be used off label for other MPN's as soon it is approved for MF or MDS (which one will be first?). ET and PV are dangerous diseases indeed which in the end better get 'cur...

Re: Take aways from Oppenheimer

Hi Generous, thanks for joining! Things in early biotech go slow for a long time, and when proven succesful things can change very quickly. For over a year now we have only good news and confirmations that imetelstat is safe and effective. The shorting of GERN is immense. Good news (e.g. fast track,...

Re: New patent

Hi Bio, releasing information has to meet at least two criteria: 1) it needs to be accurate and well prepared and 2) it needs to be relevant for their business. Releasing information about the PV patients doesn't serve any objectives, as PV is not on the list of pursued indications. Releasing inform...

"a beautifull drug"

Some time ago I found out that an old friend of mine had become a principle hematologist at an academic hospital. He has many years of experience with MPN patients, including MDS, AML and all other myeloid malignancies. I asked him about imetelstat. His first response was: "a beautiful drug". He att...

Myelosuppression seems to be a returning discussion point, mostly in the context of an adverse side effect or toxicity. After the ASH investors meeting on 6 December, sdrawkcabeman, the best poster on YMB, commented the following: "Everyone on that panel acknowledges all toxicities are predictably a...

Re: Scarlett

On YMB mangymutt stated that Scarlet bought 50,000 shares at $1.03 on 04/01/2013. I don't know where that price came from, maybe from earlier options or some special reserved stock (the pps was higher at that time, around $1.40). Because part of his salary is paid in options, he will have various bl...

Re: Milestone 65 Million

Gimp, just take another look at my earlier posts regarding the continuation decision and milestone payments (both 17 Dec). There you should be able to find some rationale for your speculation. Would be interesting to elaborate on that.

Thanks, Bio. Geron keeps building its IP, combo's included. That will support the JnJ cooperation, as well as staying ahead of competition.
