The complaint, filed on January 23, 2020, alleges that defendants misled investors regarding a drug called imetelstat, which was intended to treat certain cancers that occur in bone marrow. Specifically, the lawsuit claims that defendants misled investors about the results of a clinical drug study of imetelstat called IMbark. That study was designed to ascertain whether imetelstat helped patients with a cancer called myelofibrosis.
On September 27, 2018, the company issued a press release stating that patients in the IMbark study had shown only 10% spleen response rate and 32% symptom response rate. The company also announced that Janssen had terminated its partnership with the Geron for the development of imetelstat.
On this news, the price of Geron’s stock dropped from $6.23 to $2.31 on September 27, 2018, a decrease of over 62%.
