Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Medicus Pharma Ltd. (MDCX.US) focuses on improving health outcomes, developing SkinJect for basal cell carcinoma and D-MNA, which shows over 60% clinical clearance in Phase 2 trials. The company is expanding its pipeline by acquiring Antev Ltd., targeting advanced prostate cancer. Medicus Pharma also secured a 7-year exclusive marketing period for D-MNA via a Minor Use in Major Species (MUMS) designation in December 2024. However, reports suggest a significant lack of public information regarding price accessibility, worker respect, ethical sourcing, and environmental impact. Critics also point to a lack of transparency on animal welfare practices, with relevant articles allegedly unavailable, raising concerns given the potential for animal testing in drug development.
