The Allegations: Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that Geron Corporation (GERN) Misled Investors Regarding the Launch and Potential Growth of Rytelo
According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants failed to disclose to investors that
Geron’s optimistic reports of Rytelo’s launch success and potential growth fell short of reality; the impacts of seasonality, existing competition, and the burden of continued monitoring played a much more significant role in patient starts than defendants had implied. Moreover, Rytelo lacked the necessary awareness to penetrate the market, resulting in an inability for Geron to capitalize on the purportedly significant unmet need for the drug, particularly among first-line patients and those outside the academic setting.
The complaint alleges that 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. On this news, the price of Geron’s common stock declined from a closing price of $2.37 per share on February 25, 2025, to $1.61 per share on February 26, 2025, a decline of about 32.07% in the span of just a single day.
