Geron (GERN.US), US biotechnology company, is surging almost 100% today! Share price surge comes in response to US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advisory panel approving company's anemia drug candidate, Imetelstat. FDA panel voted 12-2 in favor of the drug, saying that its benefits of Imetelstat outweigh risks for the targeted patient population. While final approval from FDA is expected by June 16, 2024, FDA often follows recommendations of advisory panels.
While FDA is not obliged to follow advisory panel recommendations, a strongly positive 12-2 vote results shows that there is a very high chance of regulatory approval in June.
