Business Wire
Dutton Associates continues its coverage of Medivation Inc.
(AMEX:MDV) reiterating a Strong Speculative Buy rating and a $22.00
price target. The 14-page report by Dutton senior analyst Wayne T.
Lottinville, CFA is available at www.jmdutton.com as well as from
First Call, Bloomberg, Zacks, Reuters, Knobias, and other leading
financial portals. Medivation�s recent Phase 2 clinical results for
the treatment of Alzheimer�s disease are compelling. Not only did
Dimebon-treated patients show an improvement over placebo, but they
demonstrated a significant improvement over baseline for all five
endpoints of the study. That is, patients at the end of the study
were actually better off than when they started. An extension of
this trial is currently in progress and could offer additional
clues as to how much Dimebon-treated patients might improve over a
longer treatment period. Based on the dramatic and promising
results from Medivation�s Phase 2 study and on our perceptions of
management�s capabilities, we believe the Company has a better than
average opportunity to clear regulatory hurdles and ultimately win
FDA approval for using Dimebon to treat Alzheimer�s disease, and
perhaps Huntington�s disease too. Medivation�s development program
using Dimebon to treat Huntington�s disease is currently is the
first part of a two-part Phase 1-2a clinical study. Medivation
expects to file an investigational new drug application with the
FDA in the first quarter of 2007 to begin a clinical study for
treatment of prostate cancer with a group of drug candidates, its
MDV3100 series. About Dutton Associates Dutton Associates is one of
