Positive Top-Line Results from IMerge Ph 3 Trial of Imetelstat in Lower Risk MDS Announced

“Today is a great day for lower risk MDS patients who are living with the burden of transfusions.

In addition, in 2024, we expect an interim analysis of the IMpactMF Phase 3 trial of imetelstat in relapsed/refractory myelofibrosis.”
