Geron expects to report results from its Phase 3 study of imetelstat (RYTELO) for JAK-inhibitor relapsed/refractory intermediate-2/high-risk myelofibrosis in the second half of 2026 (no exact date yet). Phase 3 is the last stage before a drug can be approved, so this result usually decides the program’s future.

Source note
Prior guidance placed the interim OS analysis in 2H 2026; on the Q2 2026 call management said projected timelines are unchanged but it is evaluating a modification to the interim event threshold, calls a positive interim an upside scenario, and keeps final OS analysis in 2H 2028 as base case. Timing risk is real.
