Forward guidance
For fiscal year 2024, Geron expects total operating expenses to be in the range of approximately $270 million to $280 million. The company believes that its existing cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, together with projected revenues from U.S. sales of RYTELO, will be sufficient to fund its projected operating requirements into the second quarter of 2026. Geron plans to grow to a total of approximately 230-260 employees by year-end 2024.

- Regulatory authorities may not permit the further development of imetelstat on a timely basis, or at all, without any clinical holds.
