          I was wrong about Geron.

          On Thursday, a group of outside experts convened by the Food and Drug Administration voted 12-2 in imetelstat’s favor, concluding the drug’s benefits outweighed its risks for the treatment of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome. The strong endorsement makes an FDA approval highly likely. The decision is expected on or before June 16.
