is there anyone who has looked at the ARGX MDS trial that doesn't think that this is why JNJ dropped imet?

So the question now is which direction GERN should go.

Argx drug targets high risk MDS whereas Imet targets intermediate-1 or low risk patient groups. However, phenomonal success of their drug in AML may be a significant threat to Geron's future attempt to widen the scope of treatment space to include AML.
