Geron Corporation announced that Aleksandra Rizo, M.D., Ph.D., notified Geron Corporation of her decision to resign from her position as Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of the Company, with her last day of employment being July 8, 2022. Dr. Rizo resigned in order to accept a leadership position with a privately-held discovery and preclinical-stage platform biotechnology company; not because of her assessment of any clinical data related to the ongoing Phase 3 clinical trials or any disagreement relating to the Company’s management, board of directors, operations, financial statements, internal controls, policies or practices. Accordingly, Dr. Rizo will continue as a consultant to the Company as Senior Medical and Regulatory Advisor to the Company’s development and regulatory teams and will assist in the assessment of data for top-line results from the ongoing IMerge Phase 3 trial in lower risk myelodysplastic syndromes and, assuming supportive top-line results, through the planned FDA New Drug Application submission and acceptance process for imetelstat in lower risk MDS. Effective as of July 9, 2022, Faye Feller, M.D., will assume the duties and responsibilities of Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of the Company. Dr. Feller, age 40, joined Geron in 2019 as Vice President, Clinical Development and has provided hematology-oncology medical expertise to the clinical science and operations teams in the execution and monitoring of clinical trials. In addition, she has served as the primary medical point of contact between Geron and other medically qualified healthcare professionals, including clinical investigators, prescribers, medical professionals at payer organizations and regulatory authorities. Prior to Geron, Dr. Feller was Senior Director at Janssen Research and Development, LLC and both a Compound Lead and Study Responsible Physician for multiple clinical trials of early and late-stage development assets at Janssen, including the IMbark Phase 2 clinical trial of imetelstat where she was responsible for protocol writing, regulatory interactions, medical monitoring, study results interpretation and preparation of abstracts and final study reports. Prior to Janssen, Dr. Feller was an attending physician and instructor in the leukemia department of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York. Dr. Feller holds a B.A. from New York University and an M.D. from Mount Sinai School of Medicine.

Geron Enters New Innovative Licensing and Access Pathway in the United Kingdom for Imetelstat
2021-10-25 20:30:00
Geron Corporation announced that imetelstat, the Company’s first in class telomerase inhibitor, has been granted an Innovation Passport, which is the first prescribed entry point to the Innovative Licensing and Access Pathway (ILAP) launched in the United Kingdom (UK) by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in January 2021, post-Brexit. The objective of this new licensing and access pathway is to reduce the time to market for innovative medicines. Key benefits of being within ILAP include a 150-day accelerated assessment and rolling review of a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA), as well as opportunities for frequent interactions with the review staff at the MHRA and its partner agencies, including the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), to discuss imetelstat’s development, regulatory plans and reimbursement plans. Patients from the IMerge Phase 2 clinical trial achieved durable transfusion independence with imetelstat treatment, including transfusion-free periods greater than one year, irrespective of the disease subgroup, such as ringed sideroblast positive or ringed sideroblast negative. Such durability provides significant and meaningful clinical benefit to lower risk MDS patients given their chronic anemia and the debilitating impact of serial blood transfusions. In addition, depletion of cytogenetic abnormalities and reductions in key driver mutations associated with lower risk MDS were observed, and these results were also correlated with transfusion independence. Taken together, the durability, molecular and cytogenetic data from IMerge Phase 2 provide strong evidence for disease-modifying activity of imetelstat which has the potential to differentiate it from other currently approved and investigational treatments in lower risk MDS today. Imetelstat is currently being studied in two Phase 3 clinical trials, IMerge Phase 3 in lower risk MDS and IMpactMF in refractory myelofibrosis. Based upon current planning assumptions, Geron expects top-line results for the IMerge Phase 3 clinical trial to be available at the beginning of January 2023.
Geron Announces Completion of Patient Enrollment in Imerge Phase 3 Clinical Trial in Lower Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes
2021-10-18 11:30:00
Geron Corporation announced the completion of patient enrollment in the IMerge Phase 3 clinical trial to evaluate imetelstat, a first-in-class telomerase inhibitor, in lower risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Based upon current planning assumptions, Geron expects top-line results for IMerge Phase 3 to be available at the beginning of January 2023. Patients from the IMerge Phase 2 clinical trial achieved durable transfusion independence with imetelstat treatment, including transfusion-free periods greater than one year, irrespective of the disease subgroup, such as ringed sideroblast positive or ringed sideroblast negative.

In addition, depletion of cytogenetic abnormalities and reductions in key driver mutations associated with lower risk MDS were observed, and these results were also correlated with transfusion independence.

Geron Corporation Announces Publication of Analyses Comparing Real World Data to IMbark Phase 2 in Annals of Hematology
2021-10-11 20:30:00
Geron Corporation announced the publication in the Annals of Hematology of a paper entitled “Favorable Overall Survival with Imetelstat in Relapsed/Refractory Myelofibrosis Patients Compared with Real World Data,” which details statistical analyses comparing data from the Company’s IMbark Phase 2 clinical trial to closely matched Real World Data (RWD). The paper describes several statistical adjustment methods and multiple sensitivity analyses to improve comparability of the data set from the Company’s IMbark Phase 2 trial and RWD to mimic the effect of a randomized trial. The authors note consistency in the hazard ratios and statistical significance observed across the multiple analyses, which suggests a survival benefit associated with imetelstat treatment of MF patients after ruxolitinib failure. While acknowledging the limitations of RWD analyses, the authors conclude that the results of these analyses warrant further prospective evaluation of imetelstat in a Phase 3 setting with OS as a primary endpoint. IMpactMF is an open label, randomized, controlled Phase 3 clinical trial with registrational intent. The trial is designed to enroll approximately 320 patients with Intermediate-2 or High-risk myelofibrosis who are refractory to prior treatment with a JAK inhibitor, also referred to as refractory MF. Patients will be randomized to receive either imetelstat or best available therapy. The primary endpoint is overall survival (OS). Key secondary endpoints include symptom response, spleen response, progression free survival, complete response, partial response, clinical improvement, duration of response, safety, pharmacokinetics, and patient reported outcomes. IMpactMF is currently enrolling patients.

Fundamental Summary
Geron's financial results from Q1 demonstrated decent performance, but will likely only help Geron remain on par with its peers. This typically translates into the stock performing on par with market performance for the upcoming quarter. Overall, Geron's growth and income factors are trending positively, and we, therefore, give Geron an overall grade of 70 and a HOLD recommendation.
Geron reported earnings results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022. For the first quarter, the company reported net loss was USD 30.1 million compared to USD 27.82 million a year ago. Basic loss per share from continuing operations was USD 0.09 compared to USD 0.09 a year ago. Diluted loss per share from continuing operations was USD 0.09 compared to USD 0.09 a year ago.
Business Description
Geron, a late-stage clinical biopharmaceutical company, focuses on the development and commercialization of therapeutics for myeloid hematologic malignancies. It develops imetelstat, a telomerase inhibitor that is in Phase 3 clinical trials, which inhibits the uncontrolled proliferation of malignant stem and progenitor cells in hematologic myeloid malignancies for the treatment of low or intermediate-1 risk myelodysplastic syndromes and intermediate-2 or high-risk myelofibrosis. The company was incorporated in 1990 and is headquartered in Foster City, California.
Sector Overview
Geron is included in the Biotechnology according to GICS (global industry classification standard). The Biotechnology industry, which is part of the Health Care sector, includes companies primarily engaged in R&D, manufacturing, and/or marketing of products based on genetic analysis and genetic engineering. Geron's industry and sector affiliation are expected to negatively affect their likelihood to overperform the market in the upcoming period, as other sectors appear more likely to benefit from the macroeconomic environment we see now.

Technical Analysis
When trying to optimize the timing of an investment, it's critical to analyze whether the stock looks overbought or oversold, and in which direction the momentum is moving. Geron's stock is now priced above its 5-day, 50-day, and 200-day moving average, while its MACD (moving average convergence divergence) indicates that the stock's price movement momentum is strengthening. Historically, this is a positive setup in the near, medium, and long-term. In particular, many institutional investors keep close watch of the 200-day moving average. Meanwhile, looking at the Stochastic Oscillator and RSI (relative strength index), Geron's stock indicates that it's likely oversold. Overall, these technical indicators signal positive upward momentum. Therefore, this stock received a cumulative TA (technical analysis) score of 78.

Balance Sheet Analysis
Overall, Geron's critical balance sheet metrics appear to signal strong support and a high likelihood of positive growth going forward. Geron assets on their balance sheet, moved to 198.4, which is a -12.2% change from the last period. These results, specifically in contrast to their industry peers' performance, should support an upswing in the company's stock price. Therefore, its asset component earned a score of 72. Also, Geron is doing a good job of keeping its liabilities under control and growing intelligently. At filing, their liabilities were 100.9, representing 1.3% change from the previous period. This performance is all interesting relative to their peers and suggests that their stock price has room to grow to reflect a higher intrinsic value. The company's liabilities movement component, therefore, received a grade of 69. That said, one metric, Equity, stood out as particularly concerning. Geron published concerning equity metrics for this filing. In the current report, equity stood at 97.5, which represents a -22.9% change from the last report. This parameter often affects companies in the same industry and market capitalization by up to 7.3%. This performance is significantly less impressive than its peers and competitors. Consequently, their equity movement received a grade of 37. Because its management is doing an excellent job managing these critical metrics, the balance sheet was given a score of 60.
| Parameter | Value | Change | Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Assets | 198.4 | -12.2% | 72 |
| Liabilities | 100.9 | 1.3% | 69 |
| Price to Book | 4.2 | 32.9% | 62 |
| Cash & Equivalents | 31.3 | -10.2% | 59 |
| Equity | 97.5 | -22.9% | 37 |
The below chart describes Geron's performance as reflected on its balance sheet with respect to its peers. While Geron received a balance sheet score of 60, the average of its peers stands on 62.0.

Cash Flow Analysis
Two main cash flow metrics, Asset Turnover and Net Cash Flow, are driving the positive outlook for Geron's financial strength. Geron is doing a remarkable job of keeping its asset turnover under control. At filing, their asset turnover metrics were 0.0, representing a 7.6% change from the previous period. This metric might have a 4.1 percent impact on companies in the same industry and with the same market capitalization. Their asset turnover numbers are significantly more impressive when contrasted against their peers and competitors. Therefore, its asset turnover movement earned a score of 81. Also, Geron presents exciting net cash flow numbers for its recent financial release, illustrated by a net cash flow of -0.2, which is a change of -100.8% from the last filing. This industry-leading net cash flow momentum should reinforce broader positive momentum for its's stock price going forward. Hence, its net cash flow earned a score of 78. At the same time, one critical cash flow metric, Capital Expenditure, was notably weak. Geron's published capital expenditures (CapEx) numbers were discouraging and reflected management's unbalanced growth strategy. Geron recorded CapEx of -0.2, which represents a -19.3% change from the previous report. The company's disappointing CapEx growth is expected to stunt the momentum they hoped for this period. Consequently, their CapEx movement received a grade of 49. Therefore, we scored the company's cash flow a 77.
| Parameter | Value | Change | Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net Cashflow | -0.2 | -100.8% | 78 |
| Capital Expenditure | -0.2 | -19.3% | 49 |
| Asset Turnover | 0.0 | 7.6% | 81 |
| Free Cashflow | -0.3 | -0.7% | 68 |
The below chart describes Geron's performance as reflected on its cash flow with respect to its peers. While Geron received a cash flow score of 77, the average of its peers stands on 69.0.
