Friday's First Look | See Why (MDCX) Will Be Topping Tomorrow's Watchlist Dear Reader, Momentum has a way of revealing the next story before anyone's talking about it. You start to notice the signs—steady traction, growing attention, and patterns that begin to line up just as the broader market looks elsewhere. It's subtle at first, but it rarely stays quiet for long. That's exactly what's happening with Medicus Pharma Ltd. (NASDAQ: MDCX) — a company now showing renewed strength ahead of Friday, October 17, 2025. Over the past several weeks, (MDCX) has climbed from $1.79 on September 4 to $3.05 by September 23, marking an approximate 70% move and holding near or above its 5-, 20-, and 50-day moving averages. Adding to that momentum, D. Boral Capital analyst Jason Kolbert recently set a $27 target on (MDCX) — suggesting over 1,000% upside potential from recent levels — while Maxim Group's Jason McCarthy reiterated a $20 target, reflecting continued confidence in the company's outlook. Recent Analyst Target Suggests Over 1,000% Upside Potential

Following its recent acquisition of Antev Limited, (MDCX) has expanded into two late-stage therapeutic programs addressing major clinical needs. But keep in mind, (MDCX) has an ultra-small float, with fewer than 5 Mln shares listed as available to the public according to MarketWatch. Insider ownership is also reported at over 50%, a level that could reflect a management team's confidence in the company's direction. With analyst coverage, regulatory progress, and technical momentum all converging, (MDCX) stands out as one of the biotech names to watch heading into tomorrow morning. FDA Feedback Marks Key Step Forward for Medicus
Pharma's SkinJect Program
Medicus Pharma Ltd. (NASDAQ: MDCX) has announced positive feedback from a Type C meeting with the U.S. FDA regarding its SkinJect program — a dissolvable microneedle patch designed to non-invasively treat basal cell carcinoma (BCC). The FDA agreed that the company may pursue the 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway, a streamlined route that could reduce both cost and development time by leveraging existing doxorubicin safety data. The agency also provided constructive guidance on study design, endpoints, and formulation refinements, including recommendations for an adhesive layer and applicator system to improve precision and consistency. (MDCX) is currently advancing two Phase 2 studies for its SkinJect program. In the United States, the SKNJCT-003 trial has already enrolled more than 75% of its planned 90 participants and continues to show encouraging progress following a positively trending interim analysis earlier this year. 
At the same time, a second Phase 2 study (SKNJCT-004) is underway across six clinical sites in the United Arab Emirates, including Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi and Sheikh Shakbout Medical City. The company expects to complete patient recruitment for SKNJCT-003 before the end of Q4 2025 and to request an End-of-Phase 2 meeting with the FDA in Q1 2026. Medicus estimates that the market potential for non-invasive BCC treatments could approach $2B annually. Executive Chairman and CEO Dr. Raza Bokhari stated that the FDA's feedback "marks an important step toward establishing SkinJect as a potential first-in-market, non-invasive therapy for BCC," adding that confidence continues to grow as development progresses. Medicus Pharma Expands Late-Stage Pipeline With Completion of
Antev Acquisition

Medicus Pharma (NASDAQ: MDCX) has completed its acquisition of Antev Limited, gaining control of Teverelix trifluoroacetate, a next-generation GnRH antagonist in late-stage development for both acute urinary retention (AURr) and high cardiovascular-risk prostate cancer. The move broadens (MDCX)'s clinical scope into two therapeutic areas with a combined $6B market potential.
Teverelix is designed for dual use: in AURr, a condition with high recurrence rates, it aims to become the first product to prevent relapse, supported by an FDA-cleared Phase 2b study of 390 patients. In prostate cancer patients with elevated cardiovascular risk, it is being evaluated in another FDA-cleared Phase 2b trial as a potentially safer alternative to conventional therapies. The acquisition also adds leadership depth, with veteran pharma executive Patrick J. Mahaffy joining the board. Together, the expanded pipeline and strengthened leadership put (MDCX) in position to reshape care across two areas of pressing medical need. Multiple Potential Catalysts Converge as (MDCX)
