March 18th

Greetings Readers,


In an era where innovation and need intersect, one emerging biotech company is setting its sights on reshaping the future of dermatologic oncology.


The global skin cancer treatment market—valued at $10.87Bn in 2024—is projected to climb to $19.27Bn by 2032, expanding at a 7.42% CAGR.


Within this dynamic landscape, a specialized team is advancing a key therapy designed to redefine how patients experience care and recovery.


Their science is bold, the potential impact even greater—and attention from across the medical community is steadily growing.


And with a float of fewer than 9Mn and multiple analyst targets suggesting potentially massive upside, this Nasdaq profile has just overtaken my watchlist once again:


*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 - The Company Reported Positive Topline Data On A Key Phase 2 Study.


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


No. 4 - The Company Received Critical FDA Clearance For An Important Phase 2b Study.


No. 5 - Multiple Technical Indicators Point To This Profile Trending Around Oversold Levels (Healthy Reversal Nearing?).


But more on those in a second...


Company Breakdown - Medicus Pharma Ltd. (Nasdaq: MDCX)


Medicus Pharma Ltd. specializes in rapidly moving forward the clinical development of cutting-edge therapeutic solutions within the biotech and life sciences sector.

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). D-MNA delivers the chemotherapeutic agent transdermally at the site of the lesion to eradicate tumor cells. The relevant US Patents were granted to University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University in 2018.

SkinJect Inc. secured exclusive worldwide development and commercialization rights from University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University in April 2016. The company attempts to provide an alternative to an invasive, painful, but effective treatment commonly called Mohs Surgery, by providing an efficacious, painless and easy to administer treatment in an office setting.


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


  • ~ 400 pts already included in studies to date & multiple peer reviewed publications

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 8.37Mn shares in its float.


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


If the company provides positive news towards the first part of 2026, could it help provide a breakout spark when paired with this volatility potential?

No. 2 MDCX Potential Catalyst - The Company Reported Positive Topline Data On A Key Phase 2 Study.


Medicus Pharma Reports Positive Phase 2 SKNJCT-003 Topline Data Observing 73% Clinical Clearance and 40% Histological Clearance (CR) at Day 57 in 200μg Cohort


The Company is expected to finalize the Clinical Study Report (CSR) in Q2 2026 to support planned end of Phase 2 (EOP2) meeting with the FDA


PHILADELPHIA, March 05, 2026 (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 topline results from its Phase 2 clinical study (SKNJCT-003) evaluating safety and efficacy of Doxorubicin Microneedle Array (D-MNA) to non-invasively treat basal cell carcinoma (BCC) of the skin.


The Company believes the topline results are not only positive but decision-grade that should support an end of phase 2 (EOP2) meeting with the FDA in the first half of 2026 as well as accelerate partnering readiness.


...


We are extremely encouraged by these topline results, which not only validate management’s scientific and investment thesis, but also provide what we consider to be decision-grade evidence of clinical activity, particularly at the 200-microgram dose level,said Dr. Raza Bokhari, Executive Chairman & CEO of Medicus.


The observed increase in clearance rates at Day 57 in the higher-dose cohort reinforces the sustained biological activity of SkinJect and supports advancement into the next stage of development. Importantly, we believe this dataset strengthens our position in ongoing and prospective partnering discussions and may accelerate strategic engagement as we evaluate optimal pathways for value creation.

No. 5 MDCX Potential Catalyst - Multiple Technical Indicators Point To This Profile Trending Around Oversold Levels (Healthy Reversal Nearing?).


At 2:00PM EST Tuesday, Barchart was reporting MDCX to have multiple oversold leaning technical indicators.


These technicals could be signaling a healthy reversal is approaching in the near term.


Here's the definition of a "reversal" from Investopedia:


"A reversal is a change in the price direction of an asset. A reversal can occur to the upside or downside. Following an uptrend, a reversal would be to the downside. Following a downtrend, a reversal would be to the upside. Reversals are based on overall price direction and are not typically based on one or two periods/bars on a chart."


Here's the technicals to pay close attention to (as of 2:00PM EST Tuesday):


  • 9-Day Relative Strength Index: 30.09%
  • 14-Day Relative Strength Index: 31.92%


When these numbers drop down to the 30% range and lower, they can be viewed as being in oversold territory. While in this territory, they can paint the picture of a profile that is undervalued.


  • 9-Day Raw Stochastic %D: 17.70%
  • 14-Day Raw Stochastic %D: 10.25%


As the Raw Stochastic nears the 10% range and lower it may also be viewed as oversold and undervalued.


Keep an eye on these technicals closely.
