Re: New telomerase article

Hoosier's reply to jpheis question (hat tip to Hoosier): Hi BP, The recent S3 filings indicate Geron has sold an additional 9.44M shares since the Q1 Earnings update.....in which they highlighted the separate ~14M in share sales (early-Q2) that raised ~$47M in cash. I expected them to use ~50% of th...

I should have added that it seems reasonable to conclude with this most recent event that there will be a positive CD. bp

Change in Clinical trials low risk primary completion date

The Clinical Trials site has changed the anticipated primary study date conclusion from Feb 26, 2021 to Oct 21 2020. Its only four mounts bu its pretty hard to envision Janssen taking the time to make these relative minor modifications if they didn't plan to move to the randomized phase III study. bp

Re: April 2018 Patent

j6proulx, thank you for calling attention to this. I think we are seeing an FDA predilection for approaches that favor "personalized" therapy. One can envision a table of markers that might predict response such as this one re telomere length coupled with IL 8 levels etc. As I recall, telomere lengt...

S3 filing

Well today after market our friends at Geron filed an S3 to raise up to 250M additional dollars. Of course speculation will be rampant that this means Geron will be going it alone. If you feel that way lets all take a breath. (I know I need to) and consider: 1. Excellent data presentation at EHA 2. ...

Thank you jpheis, I actually posted the link yesterday. It is exciting and continues the work of the Yale group. Pretty soon I should be able to figure out a way to actually get this into the library. We are in the process of updating the phpBB site with the necessary upgrades. Regards, bp

Re: Expanded Mayo Trial

Welcome j6proulx and thank you for sharing your thoughts.

As you point out the study continue to enroll fairly large numbers to a total of 81. To my knowled...

A theory

As noted Clinical trials has prolonged the time for anticipated completion of the MDS study to Feb of 2021 for primary completion and Feb 2022 for total study completion. In light of the very good data presented at EHA and the data as yet unknown to us but presumably confirmatory data in the 25 pati...
