Zusammenfassung: <jats:p>The dedicated COMPASS GPD program started in 2012 with a short pilot ’DVCS run’ and the first results from this run on DVCS, exclusive <jats:italic>π</jats:italic><jats:sup>0</jats:sup> and exclusive <jats:italic>ω</jats:italic> channels have been obtained. From the sum of cross sections measured with positive and negative beam polarities the DVCS cross-section and its dependence on the squared four-momentum transfer <jats:italic>t</jats:italic> have been extracted. It allowed a first estimate of the transverse size of the partonic distribution of the nucleon √〈r<jats:sup>2</jats:sup>⊥〉 i in a range of intermediate <jats:italic><jats:sup>x</jats:sup>B<jats:sub>j</jats:sub></jats:italic> with a mean <jats:italic><jats:sup>x</jats:sup>B<jats:sub>j</jats:sub></jats:italic> value of 0.056. We report also on the absolute value of the cross section for exclusive <jats:italic>π</jats:italic><jats:sup>0</jats:sup> production and its dependence on <jats:italic>t</jats:italic> and azimuthal angle <jats:italic>ϕ</jats:italic> between the scattering plane and <jats:italic>π</jats:italic><jats:sup>0</jats:sup> production plane. These measurements are aiming to constrain the GPDs, in particular chiral-odd (transversity) GPDs. Further, we present results on the spin density matrix elements for exclusive <jats:italic>ω</jats:italic> meson production and discuss the contributions from unnaturaly parity exchanges and from transitions that do not conserve helicity.</jats:p>
