Geron using The Medical Affairs Company (TMAC) in Europe for P3 IMpact Clinical Trial enrollment....

Chiara Elia - Clinical Trial Liaison for Geron Corporation in Italy, Austria, Germany Switzerland and Denmark

The Medical Affairs Company (TMAC)

"More than 15years of experience in clinical trial management.

Currently employed as Clinical Trail Liaison for Italy, Austria, Germany and Denmark for Geron (US).
Empathic with people with passionate commitment for work."

It appears that in the above 5 mentioned countries, each has at least one location "not yet recruiting":

Italy:
1. AOU San Luigi Gonzaga - Not yet recruiting
Orbassano, Torino, Italy, 10043

2. Arcispedale S Maria Nuova, AO di Reggio Emilia - Not yet recruiting

*Interesting that Geron is using a 3rd party at this point to aid in recruitment goals.......

The Medical Affairs Company (TMAC):

My guess.....and it's only that, is that Geron needs to enroll IMpactMF at a pace that would enable an interim analysis in 2024 and a final analysis in 2025.

Take a look at the 4/13/2021 PR for the first patient dosed in the P3 IMpact Clinical Trial......

Use of Forward-Looking Statements (4/13/2021)....

"and (h) whether Geron is able to enroll IMpactMF at a pace that would enable an interim analysis in 2024 and a final analysis in 2025."

Or perhaps it has something to do with filing an NDA in the EU ?

https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/human-regu ... -step-step

Something tells me it could lean more towards the latter since all 5 counties listed are in the EU......only time will tell, and something else to ponder as we digest our turkey and pumpkin pie while anticipating ASH and January's TLR. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! -Kmall

Bp - Two points of interest regarding The Medical Affairs Company (TMAC) and Geron's focus regarding Global Regulatory Agencies.

TMAC is utilized by Big Pharma and smaller Biotech alike. Big Pharma like Bayer, Pfizer, Teva and Beigene all have Clinical Trial Liaisons and Medical Advisor's who are contracted through TMAC. As well as up and coming Biotech like MorphoSys and Geron.

As far as the two TMAC employees contracted as Medical Affairs Liaisons for Geron, the listing of countries attached to their employment is interesting: Italy, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, Bulgaria, Georgia, Poland, Portugal, Spain, and Turkey are all P3 IMpact (MF) Clinical Trial site locations for Geron.

https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT ... w=2&rank=4

In the case of Belén Castillo, she also mentions the LATAM countries of Argentina, Brazil and Colombia, which all happen to have site locations for P3 IMpact.

Speaking of Global Regulatory Agencies. Remember Murugappa Vedachalam, PhD ??, who is the EU MDR Biocompatibility / Pharma QA QC CMC and Process Validation Consultant for Geron?

I noticed this posted along with his profile recently:

"Consult and support with CMC for regulatory submissions for various regions (USA, Canada, UK, Spain, Czech Republic and Rest of the World)."

The Czech Republic stands out here. Although the Czech Republic is part of the EMA, they also have an independent Regulatory Agency: SKUL - State Institute for Drug Control....... maybe it's just me, but I find it intriguing that he singles out the Czech Republic here? -Kmall

Switzerland:

It appears that out of the 6 locations that TMAC has been contracted to help fulfill recruitment for, one is now Recruiting (Calabria, Italy) and the Zurich, Switzerland location is still Suspended. -Kmall
