Disc Medicine to present initial DISC-0974 data from RALLY-MF trial

WATERTOWN, Mass. - Disc Medicine, Inc. (NASDAQ:IRON) announced it will present initial data from its RALLY-MF Phase 2 trial of DISC-0974 for anemia in myelofibrosis patients at the upcoming American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting in Orlando, Florida on December 6-9, 2025. The clinical-stage biotech, currently valued at approximately $3 billion, has seen its stock surge 83% over the past year according to InvestingPro data.

The clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company will showcase two poster presentations at the conference. The first poster will feature preliminary results from the RALLY-MF trial, which is evaluating DISC-0974 both as a monotherapy and in combination with JAK inhibitors including ruxolitinib and momelotinib. The second poster will outline the design of the company's ongoing Phase 2 trial of DISC-3405 in polycythemia vera.

"Following the strong Phase 1b results we presented at ASH last year, we are eager to share an update on this program, including results from more patients from across the range of MF anemia patients," said John Quisel, President and Chief Executive Officer of Disc Medicine, in a press release statement.

The company plans to host a conference call on December 7 to discuss the presented data and outline next steps in development.

Disc Medicine also noted that initial readouts for its Phase 2 trial of DISC-3405 in polycythemia vera and Phase 1b trial of the same drug in sickle cell disease are expected in 2026.

The ASH abstracts published today contain previously presented data, with new data and analyses reserved for presentation at the conference. The DISC-0974 poster presentation is scheduled for December 6 at 5:30 pm EST, with Dr. Naseema Gangat as the presenting author.
