Securities Class Action Lawsuits Filed Against Geron Corporation: What Does This Mean for Investors and the World
On March 25, 2025, the law firm of Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP announced that securities class action lawsuits have been filed against Geron Corporation (Geron) on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Geron securities during the period of February 28, 2024, to February 25, 2025, inclusive (the “Class Period”).
What Happened at Geron During the Class Period
Geron is a biotechnology company focused on the development and commercialization of therapies for aging and age-related diseases. During the Class Period, Geron made several public statements regarding its clinical trials and financial performance. However, on February 26, 2025, the company announced that its lead product, imetelstat, failed to meet the primary endpoint in a Phase 3 clinical trial for myelofibrosis, a type of bone marrow disorder. This news sent Geron’s stock price plummeting, causing significant losses for investors.
Impact on Individual Investors
The securities class action lawsuits allege that Geron and certain of its executives made false and misleading statements during the Class Period, failing to disclose material information about the company’s clinical trials and financial performance. If the plaintiffs can prove these allegations, investors may be entitled to recover their losses.

The failure of imetelstat in the Phase 3 clinical trial is a setback for the field of aging research and the development of therapies for age-related diseases. However, the securities class action lawsuits against Geron are a reminder of the importance of transparency and honesty in the investment world. They may also encourage other investors to come forward with similar claims, leading to further legal action against the company.
Conclusion

If successful, these lawsuits may provide a means for investors to recover their losses.
