Geron announced oral and poster presentations of imetelstat (RYTELO) data in lower-risk MDS at hematology congresses in Japan and the German-Austrian-Swiss region. The data include a real-world U.S. claims cohort of 58 patients — most initiating in third line or later — showing ~67% remained on therapy at 6 months, plus durable transfusion independence in Korean patients from IMerge. Presentations also integrate IMerge molecular findings, suggesting early transient cytopenias may be an on-target effect predictive of better response.
