(NASDAQ: MDCX) (\u201cMedicus\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d), a precision-guided biotech\/life sciences company focused on advancing the clinical development programs of novel and potentially disruptive therapeutic assets, today provided a strategic update highlighting its transformation into a precision oncology-led biotechnology company, anchored by the advancement of CD228V, a second-generation CD228-targeted antibody-drug conjugate (\u201cADC\u201d), while pursuing capital-efficient strategic partnerships to advance clinical development opportunities across its SkinJect\u00ae and Teverelix\u00ae Programs.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>CD228V<\/strong><br \/>\n        <strong>now represents<\/strong> the\u00a0<strong>principal strategic priority for Medicus,<\/strong> with initial development concentrated on establishing clinical proof-of-concept in a carefully selected tumor population, supported by an integrated clinical and translational strategy. Based on the existing biological, translational and clinical foundation,\u00a0<strong>melanoma represents a compelling initial development opportunity<\/strong>, particularly in patients with relapsed or refractory disease.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The addition of\u00a0<strong>CD228V<\/strong> represents a paradigm shift in Medicus\u2019 clinical development portfolio and establishes precision oncology as a central component of the Company\u2019s strategy.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">CD228V is a second-generation ADC targeting melanotransferrin\/CD228 in solid tumors. The program is supported by an active U.S. Investigational New Drug (IND), a first-in-human Phase 1 clinical study (NCT06799533), and substantial prior scientific, translational, and clinical development.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The Company believes successful demonstration of clinical proof-of-concept in melanoma, supported by an integrated translational and biomarker strategy, could provide an important foundation for subsequent development in other CD228-expressing solid tumors.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">At the same time, Medicus is sharpening the development strategies for its two other therapeutic programs.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">For\u00a0<strong>SkinJect\u00ae<\/strong>, the Company believes the strongest risk-adjusted opportunity lies in Gorlin syndrome rather than broad sporadic\/nodular Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) lesions. FDA has authorized initiation of SKNJCT-005, the Company\u2019s NDA-enabling registrational Phase 2b study in patients with Gorlin syndrome presenting with multiple BCCs. Gorlin syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disease in which patients can develop numerous BCC lesions throughout their lifetime, frequently requiring repeated surgical or other lesion-directed procedures.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The Company believes concentrating <strong>SkinJect\u00ae<\/strong> development on Gorlin syndrome could provide several potential strategic advantages beyond the more broadly competitive sporadic BCC market, which could include approvals for <strong>Orphan Drug Designation (\u201cODD\u201d) and Rare Pediatric Disease (\u201cRPD\u201d) designation<\/strong> by the FDA as well as favorable rare-disease-anchored net pricing.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">For\u00a0<strong>Teverelix\u00ae<\/strong>, Medicus intends to prioritize the optimized approximately 126-patient Phase 2 acute urinary retention (\u201cAUR\u201d) program and <strong>PRECISION-E2<\/strong>, the Phase 2a study in women with symptomatic endometriosis, while continuing to advance the scientific and strategic positioning of Teverelix\u00ae in advanced prostate cancer (\u201cAPC\u201d) through potential partnerships.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The Company believes this focused portfolio strategy provides multiple opportunities for meaningful clinical and shareholder value creation while enabling the Company to concentrate capital on programs with the most compelling near-term risk-adjusted potential.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>Management Commentary:<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <em>\u201cMedicus has undergone a significant transformation this year,\u201d stated\u00a0<\/em><br \/>\n        <strong><br \/>\n          <em>Dr. Raza Bokhari, Executive Chairman &amp; CEO of Medicus.<\/em><br \/>\n        <\/strong><br \/>\n        <em> \u201cOur objective is increasingly clear.
