Geron Announces Two Imetelstat Poster Presentations at the American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting
GlobeNewswire - Wed Apr 20, 6:30AM CDT
Geron Corporation (Nasdaq:GERN) today announced two poster presentations of data from non-clinical studies of the telomerase inhibitor, imetelstat, at the 2016 American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting held in New Orleans, Louisiana. The first poster presentation described results that treating acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines with imetelstat enhanced the effects of agents currently used for the treatment of AML. These data extend the rationale from prior non-clinical studies for the potential use of imetelstat in hematologic myeloid malignancies, such as AML, including in combination with standard therapies. The second poster presentation described results from non-clinical studies that provide further evidence of potential on-target mechanisms of telomerase inhibition by imetelstat underlying the reduction in platelets observed in previously conducted imetelstat clinical trials.
