Full Press Release Details

NEW YORK, March 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Levi & Korsinsky, LLP notifies investors in Geron Corporation ("Geron" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: GERN) of a class action securities lawsuit.
CLASS DEFINITION: The lawsuit seeks to recover losses on behalf of Geron investors who were adversely affected by alleged securities fraud between June 7, 2024 and February 25, 2025. Follow the link below to get more information and be contacted by a member of our team:
GERN investors may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. via email at jlevi@levikorsinsky.com or by telephone at (212) 363-7500.
CASE DETAILS: According to the complaint, defendants provided investors with material information concerning defendants’ expectations for the launch and growth potential of Rytelo (imetelstat). Defendants’ statements included, among other things, confidence in Geron’s ability to capitalize on the purportedly significant unmet need for the drug and to execute on its commercial plan to target first-line ESA ineligible patients, while continually minimizing the risks associated with the burden of the weekly monitoring requirement for Rytelo and the impacts of seasonality and existing competition on the drug’s sales. On February 26, 2025, Geron announced its financial results for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, disclosing that Rytelo’s growth had flattened over the preceding months. The Company attributed the diminished growth on seasonality, competition, lack of awareness for Rytelo, and the burden of the monitoring requirement necessary for the drug treatment. Following this news, the price of Geron’s common stock declined dramatically. From a closing market price of $2.37 per share on February 25, 2025, Geron’s stock price fell to $1.61 per share on February 26, 2025, a decline of about 32.07% in the span of just a single day.
WHAT'S NEXT? If you suffered a loss in Geron during the relevant time frame, you have until May 12, 2025 to request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as a lead plaintiff.
