*Click Here To Get Our Alerts Faster Via SMS*


November 11th

Dear Reader,


In today’s dynamic life sciences field, few innovators are tackling critical treatment gaps as decisively as this company.


Through its subsidiary, it's advancing a dissolvable microneedle patch that delivers chemotherapy directly into tumors, offering new potential for treating basal cell carcinoma. 


Active clinical trials in the U.S. and UAE highlight its push toward gentler, surgery-less cancer care.


Strategic acquisitions, including a UK biotech targeting prostate cancer, further strengthen its position.


Focused on faster, data-driven innovation, the company is redefining standards across human and veterinary health.


And with a float of fewer than 7Mn, a recently completed acquisition, and multiple analyst targets suggesting massive upside potential, this Nasdaq profile has just overtaken my watchlist once again.


Take a moment to consider this idea for your radar:


*Medicus Pharma Ltd. (Nasdaq: MDCX)*


Medicus Pharma Ltd. is a biotech/life sciences company focused on accelerating the clinical development programs of novel and disruptive therapeutics assets. The company is actively engaged in multiple countries, spread over three continents.


And based on several potential catalysts, (Nasdaq: MDCX) has pushed its way to the top of my watchlist. Take a look:


No. 1 - A Low Float Could Create The Environment For Heightened Volatility.


No. 2 - MDCX Leads Innovative Collaboration Advancing Compassionate SKINJECT Access Globally.


No. 3 - An Average Of 6 Analyst Targets Suggest Major Upside Potential (Triple-Digit!).


No. 4 - Medicus Pharma Expands Global Reach With UAE Sknjct-004 Phase 2 Clinical Study Advancement Milestone.


No. 5 - A Game-Changing Acquisition Is Completed!


But more on those in a second...

About SkinJect - Medicus Pharma's (Nasdaq: MDCX) Wholly Owned Subsidiary


A novel non-invasive regimen to treat skin cancer; especially Basal Cell Carcinoma.


SkinJect Inc. is a development stage biotechnology life sciences company focused on commercializing novel treatment for non-melanoma skin cancer, especially basal cell carcinoma, using a patented dissolvable doxorubicincontaining microneedle arrays (D-MNA).

SkinJect Inc. has completed a Phase I study in March 2021 for participants with superficial and nodular Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC). In January 2024 a Phase 2 IND clinical protocol was submitted to the FDA for a randomized, controlled, double-blind, multicenter study that is expected to randomize up to 60 patients. Patient recruitment began in August 2024 in 9 sites across the United States. A positively trending interim analysis in March 2025 showed more than 60% complete clinical response. In April 2025, IRB approved an increase in the number of patients from 60 to 90.

About Recent Acquisition: Antev Ltd.


Antev Ltd. (“Antev”) is a clinical stage biotech company, developing Teverelix, a next generation GnRH antagonist, a potentially first in market product for high-risk prostate cancer patients and patients with first acute urinary retention (AUR) episodes due to enlarged prostate.


Antev’s flagship drug candidate is Teverelix trifluoroacetate (Teverelix TFA), a long-acting gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist. Unlike GnRH agonists, which can cause an initial surge in testosterone levels, Teverelix directly suppresses sex hormone production without this surge, potentially reducing cardiovascular risks.


Teverelix: A Next-Gen GnRH Antagonist


Teverelix is being developed to compete with or improve upon current GnRH antagonists like Degarelix and Relugolix as well as agonists.


What sets Teverelix apart is the potential for:


  • Rapid onset of testosterone suppression and prostate shrinkage


  • Avoidance of testosterone flare versus agonists


  • A longer-acting injection schedule (possibly every 6 weeks)


  • Potential for subcutaneous and intra-muscular delivery without daily dosing (vs. Relugolix’s daily oral use)


  • Due to superior formulation, ISRs potentially significantly milder compared to Degarelix


What's Next for Teverelix?

And as I mentioned previously, (Nasdaq: MDCX) has several potential catalysts that could generate breakout buzz. Check them out:


No. 1 MDCX Potential Catalyst - A Low Float Could Create The Environment For Heightened Volatility.


According to info from the Finviz websiteMDCX has a fairly low float.


The website reports this profile to have roughly 6.38Mn shares in its float.


Why is that important? It's important on one crucial level. Volatility potential.


If positive company news appears towards the end of 2025, could it provide a breakout spark when paired with the volatility potential of this low float?

No. 2 MDCX Potential Catalyst - MDCX Leads Innovative Collaboration Advancing Compassionate SKINJECT Access Globally.


Medicus Pharma Ltd. Announces Collaboration with the Gorlin Syndrome Alliance to Pursue Compassionate Use Pathway for SKINJECT™ in Patients with Gorlin Syndrome


Gorlin Syndrome, also known as Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome, is a rare inherited genetic disorder affecting 1 in 31,000 people worldwide that can develop 500-1000 Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) lesions over lifetime


PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Medicus Pharma Ltd. (NASDAQ: MDCX) ("Medicus" or the "Company"), a biotech/life sciences company focused on advancing the clinical development programs of novel and potentially disruptive therapeutics assets, is pleased to announce a strategic collaboration with the Gorlin Syndrome Alliance (GSA) to advance compassionate access to SKINJECT™, the Company’s investigational doxorubicin containing microneedle arrays (D-MNA) for patients suffering from Gorlin Syndrome, also known as nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome.


Under the collaboration, Medicus and the GSA will jointly pursue the Expanded Access IND Program with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to allow patients with multiple, recurrent, or inoperable basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) to access SKINJECT™ under physician-supervised treatment protocols. The initiative aims to establish a framework for expanded access while collecting valuable real-world safety and tolerability data to inform future regulatory filings. It will also more tightly integrate patient community-led insights and data into the design, monitoring, and long-term development of SKINJECT™ in this rare disease population.


SKINJECT™, is a novel localized immunogenic investigational precision therapy focused on non-melanoma skin diseases, especially basal cell carcinoma (BCC) of the skin.


Gorlin Syndrome is an inherited condition affecting approximately 1 in 31,000 people worldwide. Patients can develop hundreds to over one thousand basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) over their lifetime, often beginning in early childhood. The disease imposes not only a medical but also a physical, emotional and economic toll, requiring frequent scar producing surgeries, topical treatments and lifelong dermatologic care.


Patients with Gorlin Syndrome endure a lifelong burden of recurring skin cancers that often require repeated surgeries and disfiguring treatments,” said Dr. Raza Bokhari, Executive Chairman & CEO of Medicus. “By working together with the Gorlin Syndrome Alliance, we hope to unite clinical science, regulatory leadership and advocacy to deliver hope for individuals facing lifelong burdens of Gorlin Syndrome, reinforcing our mission to deliver targeted innovation where medical need is greatest.
