Medicus Pharma's shares rose 12% to $1.49 in premarket trading after the company announced a reduction in royalty payments for its prostate cancer drug, teverelix, from approximately 4% to 2% following a deal amendment with LifeArc. The drug is currently in trials for advanced prostate cancer and urinary retention. Medicus plans mid-stage testing and anticipates early data for its SkinJect skin cancer patch by early 2026. However, shares have declined about 37% in 2025.
